I would highly recommend. They bent over backwards working with us to get my dad back there after his horrible rehab experience at another facility. We picked this community because of the number of people (good op for socialization), staff friendliness, food quality, cleanliness.
We're very pleased with how things have turned out with The Brookshire, it is a very nice place! The community is well kept and clean, and the staff are all very friendly! They provide a high level of service, and the nurses are all very attentive. My loved one also really seems to like the food!
After visiting 9 different facilities in 4 states and seeing what was available, we chose Pelican Landing for our mother's care. The quality and attitude of the staff is what made the decision pretty easy for us and we have been happy with our choice. There are always some little things that could be improved, but this is true of any place and they are willing to listen to and consider reasonable accommodations. Overall, it is very well maintained, the food is good and residents have a variety of choices. Activities are varied and there are some interesting outings for the residents. Would I recommend it to others? Yes, and I would use it again if the occasion came up.
