Brookstone Alzheimer's Special Care Center is spacious, clean, and in good repair. The staff all seem to have a good attitude and are happy to help my parents out. I haven't had any negative experiences with them at all. They have all kinds of things like puzzles, games, sing-alongs, and pretty much anything somebody wants to do, but they aren't real social so they don't do much. They just sit and read or stare out the window. One of the reasons why I put them there is they have a full-time, actual trained chef. My folks are real picky about their food. I have their calendar of activities and it looks like there is lots for them to do.

My husband has been at Brookstone for the past four months. I am very impressed with the quality of care he has received. Their staff has been very compassionate and supportive. I have watched over and over as they have helped residents feel cared about and loved. Everyone works together to create a homelike atmosphere. I feel very fortunate to have found Brookstone.

The staff at Brookstone is caring, friendly, and helpful. They have a nice room. Food smells really good. A family member is a resident there. They need more staff there, though.

Brookstone is wonderful! I never worry that my parents are not being cared for. Both my parents are at Brookstone. The staff are always on top of everything and keep us well informed of any problems. They take exceptional care of them. They were recommended by the State Nursing Home Ombudsman as the best place in Salem. Very true!

I visited this facility
I chose Brookstone for my husband. The administrator was very helpful and gave me good information. It was very nice. They had a process where they took the patient's life history and they would build that into different things so the person would feel at home. The room was nice. The place itself was warm and inviting. It felt very comfortable. It had different levels, so you could be in an earlier stage or you could be all the way up to end of life.

Brandy is the manager, and since she has been at Brookstone, I would give them a 5-star rating. The place is clean and does not smell. My husband has received very good care!

If you are looking for a memory care facility, you should consider Brookstone. They are a long-established, full-service facility with a professional and caring staff. There is a comfortable feeling of home, and the resident's family is welcome at any time. I know when I leave at the end of the day, my husband is being well taken care of and is safe which gives me peace of mind.
Provider Response
That you so very much! It is our pleasure!

This facility is better than 90% of what we toured when we were looking. It is relatively new with nice decore and cheery common areas. The staff are very compassionate and treat the residents, no matter their condition, with dignity and respect. They provide lots of activities and a daily schedule for residents.They pursue activites that get the residents perhaps remembering about their own lives- cooking, gardening, sewing, folding clothes, exercise, dance, music, mens group. Lots of groups come in to visit: church groups, musical, children and scout groups, pets come too. The facility also does outside excursions and short day trips in their van.Mom feels safe and happy there. It is now her home.Sometimes management staff has been difficult to get issues resolved. We have had better luck with the middle and care giver staff. Issues have been: roommate problems (too aggressive), missing clothing items, food has not always been the greatest- but now is pretty good.Years ago (70s) I worked in nursing homes and this facility is head and shoulders above what we provided in those days. A much better sense of the patient as an individual.

About Brookstone Alzheimer's Special Care Center
Often the mental demands of those struggling with Alzheimer's disease can take over the emotional needs. But at JEA Senior Living, we keep the emotional needs and feelings of your loved one at the very center of what we do.
Our exclusive Meaningful Moments® program is specifically designed to help meet the needs of those Residents with memory loss. We begin by discovering the life story of each individual's likes, dislikes and cherished memories. By adding details and preferences from each Resident's life story into their day, we can build comfort and a sense of meaning for each individual Resident. The result is a familiar atmosphere for your loved one.
Our Residents have access to a whole host of amenities and programming options to help keep them active and engaged in daily life.
There are excursions to restaurants and shopping, arts and crafts classes, movie nights and many chances for family and holiday celebrations. Our Meaningful Moments® program, paired with our active and engaged staff members at JEA Senior Living, brings together the very best Alzheimer's care.
What Makes Us Special
We offer a unique memory care program called Meaningful Moments; this foundation brings the residents past routines and preferences into their daily lives which then promotes feelings of security and comfort.

We bring in home health services ( physical, occupational and speech therapies) as needed. Visits from podiatrist and dental hygienist, and a Medical Director who specializes in dementia and lectures at OHSU.
