They have just been really good and very caring. The staff is really well trained and professional. We are really very pleased with the experience that we are having at Woodland Terrace.
We are thankful that we found Brentwood for mom. After breaking her hip we were not sure what to do next. The hospital sent her to rehab and that lasted only 24 days before another move was needed. Being out of state we were unsure what to do. We called a place for mom and they recommended Brentwood. We visited with [name removed] and toured the building. They actually do what they say, care. Mom is in a good place and we feel she is well cared for. Between my sisters and myself who which we could be more available, we thank the staff at Brentwood.
The staff is okay. Not unfriendly, but not proactive either. It's the cheapest option in the area and isn't bad. On the Independent Living side there is zero assistance. It would be nice if they added Ala Carte items, like help with meds. They are raising the rate in 2024, but it's still the most affordable option compared to other locations.
