Prior to the move mom was very much a recluse and never left her apartment or participated in any activities. Now that she is at The Colony she is THRIVING. She is out of her room virtually ALL day long, is participating in activities, eats in the dining room and socializes with her table mates and others. The attention and care that she is receiving from the staff is absolutely IMPECCABLE. At the previous facility I used to literally drop in on mom with the Echo Show device multiple times a day to be sure she was OK and always worried that something would happen and no one would know. Brookdale The Colony has given me such peace of mind and I no longer feel stressed about her well being. I simply cannot say enough about the staff starting at the top with [name removed], the Administrator, [name removed] the Health and Wellness Director, ALL of the nurses and aides.
