Couldn’t have found a better place for Mom!
My mother has resided at Brookdale since the beginning of May and it has been an utterly positive experience every step of the way from the initial contact and tour through now. My mother lived with us for almost 17 yrs, but came to a point where she needed a lot more care and a place with no steps. At the same time, she was diagnosed with a progressive, terminal lung disease and had to go on 24/7 oxygen. This was a lot for anyone to endure, let alone a very dependent 86-yr old person. She was so beside herself with anxiety and worry, but all the folks at Brookdale have been so caring and supportive as well as attentive to her from the folks at the front desk to the housekeeping and dining room staff and, most of all, her amazing daily caregivers. My mom tells everyone now how much she loves being at Brookdale. I cannot say enough about Brookdale —it is a 20 on a scale of one to ten. Every time I go to visit I thanks God we found this wonderful senior living facility.

Perfect for Father-in-law
We looked all over Los Angeles for a place for my father-in-law and are so fortunate to have found this place! The staff is friendly and welcoming. The facility and the grounds are clean and beautiful. The apartment he is in is bright, and everything is new and perfect. He just loves it there. The food is excellent (3 meals per day) and he can have guests dine with him. Could not recommend this place enough!

Brookdale Is A Really Great Place
I was pleasantly surprised how great Brookdale is compared to some of the other communities I toured and saw. The activities that the residents have to choose from, is wonderful. My loved one feels at home already and has been here for a short amount of time. There are three meals a day served and the residents have choose of meals. My loved one is very pleased with the food, and it is very good from when I have eaten here.

Due to the fact that I moved in during the middle of the pandemic, I cannot give a totally objective review of my experience. I was warmly greeted by the "sunshine" residents that was it. More should be done to help a new resident to adjust. I do wish I had known ahead of time the number of residents who are "memory challenged", it might have affected my decisions/ The employees are OUTSTANDING!

This community is about 2 blocks from us so we can visit often. The staff is very helpful and friendly. It is well kept up. They clean his apartment 1x a week. The dining room is very nice there is a great cook and the food is good. There is lots of variety or you can order from a menu. They are very accommodating in that area. It is a very pleasant atmosphere. We are overall satisfied and would recommend this to my friends.

I had recently taken a tour of this community and so far I have no complaints of how things had went. The staff where on time to our appointments and made sure to answer any questions I had for them in detail. I liked the different amenities and activities they had for the residents. It was just not the right fit for us in the end decision.
