Very comfortable, friendly place. Staff are attentive and work to please. Food could be more catered to residents taste but they have worked hard to provide food he enjoys. A few more activities and off site visits could be provided. A very caring and safe facility.... Read more

Excellent staff. I'm very satisfied with this Brookdale Avondale facility. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. The care, attention, cleanliness, activities, medical, security, location and food are Top Notch. The decision to move my mother from her home of several years was difficult and trying, but the staff made it easy. I want to commend Dena and Bethany.They know what they are doing and are very professional kind and helpful. My mind is at ease and feel comfortable with my mother being in her new home. I will highly recommend Brookdale Avondale to anyone looking for a home for the loved ones.

I think they are good in different areas. They weren't as proactive, or as thorough as one would hope. The billing and financial end can be a little shady, we are finding some hidden costs. She thinks the staff is great. The food isn't fabulous, it's okay. The other residents seem to be pretty friendly so far. We liked the location when we chose it.

My loved one has only been here a short time, but so far we're very pleased with how things turned out with Brookdale Avondale! The facility is clean and well kept, and they treat our loved one like family! The staff is kindhearted and caring, and they've been very accommodating regarding any questions or requests that we've had for them. I was also impressed by the amount of effort they put into their holiday decorations and activities! We did have a small maintenance issue during the move-in, but otherwise it's been a great experience!

Her family stepped up and took care of it. As far as I know everything is going well so far. Seems to be an excellent care facility and retirement home.

We're very pleased with how things are going at Sterling House of Merrimac! It's a nice looking, well kept place, and the staff all seem very friendly. It has a very relaxed, homey atmosphere that I thought my loved one would really thrive in. We saw some places that were fancier, but I think they just would have been too busy for her. The staff here also just seem more caring and in-tune with their residents.

I liked it. It was very nice. We went with a different community that was closer to my home, but this one was very nice. We might have chosen it if it was closer. It was clean and everyone was very nice.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale Avondale 9.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
