Assisted Living
My parents have adjusted well to assisted living and like the staff. The place isn't perfect but I feel as if my parents are in good care.
The community is just great. They have lots of activities and posted pictures on their Facebook page so we can see them enjoy the activities. They are starting to get folks out of the community and are doing driving trips around town. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.
So far we have been really pleased with our experience with Brookdale Stanwood. The staff members are very knowledgeable and friendly and if we have any questions or concerns we bring it to their attention and it is answered promptly. Our loved one has been quite pleased with how she has been treated and seems to really be enjoying the meals and the laundry service.
