I would recommend this facility. The only things I would comment on are; 1) l think they were a little under staffed, especially on weekends; and 2) they need to figure out a better system to handle laundry (my mom's laundry was lost). Overall, my experience at Brookdale Littleton was pretty good.
My mother was previously a resident at Village at Belmar and everything was great for her at this facility. The cleanliness and friendliness were great. The staff, care service and value for cost were also great. They did a wonderful job caring for my mother. I would recommend Village at Belmar to family and friends.
