My dad has moved into Brentwood Retirement Community. I love it. It's small and it's perfect for what they do. They're very attentive. Everything is great. I don't know about the activities because right after he moved in they went on quarantine lockdown. They sent home a calendar of activities, and they had some different activities written on it, but I didn't bother to look at it because they're on lockdown. There is a salon and a barbershop on the premises, they have a common living area, and then they have a cafeteria, but this is a locked facility so they can't just roam around outside. Because it's memory care, they stay locked inside.
My dad raves about the food. He says it's delicious. He loves it. You get what you pay for, but they're a little bit on the high side. They check on my dad every 20 minutes, he raves about how well they take care of him, and how they are in there all the time checking on him, and how they're getting him anything he wants. They're doing pretty well with him.

Brentwood was a great place that did a good job, and I was really impressed. The personnel were very nice and efficient. They monitored the door and dispensed medication just like they were supposed to. The business staff was very efficient. I liked everything about it.
