We recently made the decision to move our loved one into Brookdale, and it has been an incredibly positive experience. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were met with warmth and compassion from every member of the team. The sales leader, Allison, was particularly outstanding. From our first interaction, she was patient, understanding, and informative. She took the time to answer all our questions and put our minds at ease during what could have been a very stressful time. Her deep knowledge of memory care and her genuine passion for helping families shone through in every conversation. We never felt rushed or pressured; instead, we felt supported and empowered to make the best decision for our loved one. The memory care program at Brookdale is exceptional. The specialized activities and therapies have made a significant difference in our loved one's quality of life. The staff is trained to handle the unique challenges that come with memory care, and they do so with a level of kindness and professionalism that is truly remarkable. The environment is safe, nurturing, and designed to cater to the needs of residents with memory impairments. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our choice. Brookdale has provided our family with peace of mind, knowing that our loved one is in the best possible hands. We highly recommend this community to anyone looking for compassionate and specialized memory care.

The programming here is wonderful. It felt like home as soon as we walked in. The sales leader was kind and helpful and we are grateful.

I was shown one nice room at Brookdale Shawnee. My husband is going there now for daycare, and they do a good job. They have entertainment that comes in and keep them pretty busy. Someone's watching them all the time. Everything revolves around a center where they eat and have snacks. There are lots of rooms where they have interaction and people who come in to sing. They have an outdoor area and a front porch. Everyone I've seen has been really good.

Brookdale Shawnee was very good. Somebody nice gave us a tour. The room was very nice and big enough for one person. They provided three meals a day and snacks. They had group activities, arts and crafts, activities to help with their memory, and church service on Sunday. They also took the residents on outside activities, like fishing or out to eat.

We visited Brookdale, but they were really too high-priced. It was clean, and the rooms were similar to the others. They have lots of activities, a lot of music, and people from outside who come in and perform. They have a theater room, and they have birds in cages.

My husband is up here. I have a few things I would change if I were in charge. They're supposed to have a doctor come once a week for the patients, but it just hasn't worked out that way. They send an assistant instead. He's been there a month, and I believe the doctor has only been in there once, and the other times the assistant. We put him in there for a time in an emergency situation, and they had one opening, and I kind of had to make a fast decision. But the help is really good and friendly. They're very nice people. I’m not complaining. There are very few men up there. We thought he would have more socialization, but the activities that they have planned are for women, and I can understand that. There’s like five men to twenty women. In fact I learned that with Alzheimer’s, because women outlive men I guess, it’s mostly women that have it. I do think they’re probably one of the best places. They’re very good with security. My husband doesn’t like the food. They’re very clean. I want to bring him home, but I can’t take care of him. I can’t do it right now. I could use a little help myself.
