Brookdale East Tucson
5.0 / 5.0

I am very pleased with the care my family member is receiving at Brookdale East Tucson. Most importantly, my loved one really loves residing at Brookdale. The staff is kind, caring and provides continuity of care. Medication is provided at the same time daily. Meals are delicious and a daily schedule is maintained for dining. All of these things are what makes residing at Brookdale a pleasure. I honestly cannot say enough about the entire staff!! Their kindness and warmth makes them feel like family. I highly recommend Brookdale East Tucson.
