When it comes to having to spend your remaining time on earth in a facility, Brookestone would be the place to consider. The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff is nothing but kind and caring.

I appreciated every single staff member at Brookestone during my mom’s stay there. Kind, compassionate staff made for a comfortable stay for her.

Brookstone is an exceptional facility after hospitalization before my mother was able to come home. Excellent therapy. Facility warm and welcoming and so aesthetically pleasing with caring staff who were very customer service oriented. Highly recommend! It is so important to have a facility like this to care for our loved ones. One we are confident with gives such peace of mind for family. Thank you.

Very clean welcoming facility. After a few hiccups with communication with nursing in the beginning of my mom's rehab stay, everything improved after speaking with the DON and Administration. After speaking with them our concerns and issues were addressed right away and there was major improvements made. I would recommend Brookestone to anyone in need. Their activities for the residents also are very inclusive and engaging.

This place is horrible. My dad has been there 3 weeks and has not been cared for at all. Has the same clothes on for 3 days at a time. Never gets a shower or shave. They haven't been making sure he is taking his medications. This week he had a bad gash on his leg. No one could tell us what happened. They say they are going to do better but don't. I definitely don't trust these people and don't recommend this place to anyone.
