Cost went up abruptly 15%, but they worked with me to adjust down some. Overall it has been a very positive experience. The staff are very friendly and attentive to our mother's needs. They assisted greatly with the passing of our father. Very compassionate and experienced in dealing with the death of a loved one.
My sister was the one who explored different places and she thought Brookdale Shelby was the best choice and also close to where she lived. The staff there work hard to get to know the family member and try to get them engaged in living in the facility. Communication with our family has been good. I would recommend this community to others looking for assisted living.
The sales manager [name removed] has gone out of her way to help bring our mother into the community. She is very compassionate, she listened to our needs and went out of her way to help us. We love the upgrades to the community with fresh paint throughout the building. Our mothers suite has new carpet, blinds and paint. The care has been great and the staff has been wonderful.
