Walking into Brookdale Rotonda is like coming home to family. Everyone greets you and makes you feel welcome. My sister in law's mother now lives there and has asked why we didn't do this sooner. She has made many friends and loves the staff. They take very good care of her and treat her like a queen.
Brookdale is a great place for mom. The food is very tasty and has multiple choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are activities almost every day for the occupants to do and the staff is very friendly. There is a great outdoor area in the middle of the facility with both screened in area and sun exposed garden with seating in both sections. The staff is also very caring about the well-being of all the occupants. Any changes with the occupants the family is notified and if corrective medication is needed there are doctors that frequently will help the nursing staff make the changes to ensure the best quality of life.
My mom has been at Brookdale PGI for a little over 2 months now. I can"t say enough wonderful things about this facility. My mom was reticent about Assisted Living, but she is so happy here. We looked at a few newer and larger places in the area. My mom chose Brookdale because of its smaller size, "family feel" and sense of community. And how right she was! The care is tremendous, the staff a great combo of professionalism and genuinely caring personalities. She finds it so easy to navigate to her meals and activities. I feel so reassured that she is receiving the best care. Thank you Brookdale for being a great place for my mom.
