Mom enjoys her “stay” at Brookdale and tells me how nice everyone is . She enjoys putting puzzles together with her friend and playing bingo. Whenever I am there for mealtime the food always looks and smells great.

Candle Light Cove in Easton, MD

I would like to commend [name removed] at Easton, MD Candle Light Cove. My mother-in-law was a resident. [Name removed] embraced our family when we needed it the most. Her warm smile, caring voice and demeanor was what made our decision to choose Candle Light Cove. Matter of fact, I personally loved and enjoyed the staff so much I want to volunteer there now as a Hospice Volunteer. If anyone is looking for a caring, loving, beautiful place for your family member this staff is ready to welcome you with loving arms.
