What Residents and Families Say About Brookside Commons
Finding the right community often comes down to how a place makes you feel. Hear from residents and families who have experienced the people, lifestyle, and sense of connection.
"Mom has been at Brookside Commons for almost a year with no problems. She likes the staff and meals, her room is very large, and there are many sitting areas outside to enjoy sunny days. Plenty of activities are available, there's a beauty salon on the premises, and chapel almost weekly. Mom is checked on by staff 3-4 times a day. Our family is very satisfied with Brookside Commons."
— Son of Resident
"We moved my mom into Brookside Commons and it has been excellent. The staff are wonderful. They checked on her recently when she was not well — they called the ambulance and made sure she got to the hospital. The food is really good, and she has no complaints. They have daily activities, an art room, a library, an exercise room, a beauty shop, and a chapel. Everything is there. They are an excellent value, and I highly recommend this place."
— Daughter of Resident
"My brother and I had our mom in this facility for 2.5 years and it was wonderful. The staff was caring and professional, making sure she had everything she needed. The dining room was beautifully decorated and very clean, as was the entire building. The food was excellent. Her room was huge, right across the hall from the dining area. They had plenty of activities including monthly music concerts. When mom passed, the staff was truly heartbroken — three even came to the funeral home to pay their respects. That meant a great deal to our family. We highly recommend Brookside Commons."
