We are very pleased with Brook Ridge. My Mom just loves it. She called it her forever home. I think the way they make all the residents feel welcome and seem to take personal interest in knowing them is a positive. When I visit, I am well treated and in a professional way. The residents seem to interact well with each other and with visitors. The staff greet their residents by name, and were always so friendly and kind. It's a lively place with plenty of activities, several events per week, plus outside exercises. The staff makes a big deal over holidays and personalizing birthdays.

One of the main reasons we chose Brook Ridge was because everything is under one roof so she would not have to walk outside to get to places. The food is wonderful, we eat here all the time. I have never noticed any people who are too skinny, so I think all of the residents loves the food too. We looked at 3 or 4 different places and for what they provide, we think it is a great value for the money. We would highly recommend them to others looking. In fact my daughter says that when I get out of hand, this is where I will go.
Read moreThis community is very nice and the tour was very good. However, this was an assisted living community and I was not at the level of care for assisted living being needed.
This community is better than where I am now, they did not have the room for me and there is no kitchen in the rooms and I like to cook from time to time.
