We chose Brookdale Longview mostly due to the staff. They are all very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful whenever we need them. The facility also keeps the rooms nice and updated. I would most definitely recommend Brookdale Longview to others.
They were very kind here at Brookdale. He has succumbed to his chronic illness suddenly in February. But his time there was much more pleasant than where he was previously. He even called it home, which he never did for his previous place, even though he was there much longer.
Buckner is a very good place, it is really clean and the staff members have been awesome. The meals and dining are very good, and even though our loved one does not take much advantage of the activities the activities director continues to encourage and motivate her. Also the rates do not fluctuate at all, you have a buy in price and that is the price you pay the entire time your loved one is there.
