Brookdale Peoria

Moving my Dad and stepmom (who both have dementia) to Assisted Living was a difficult decision (to say the least!). From the home visit/intake interview, by Jaki, I knew Brookdale was the place for them! Jaki called me immediately following and said “I fell in love with your Dad. They will both thrive here!”. She saw in them, their needs, fears and also their personalities. Before the move, we had conference calls to create a plan and the team was with us every step of the way. It was an awful beginning (and nothing to do w BDale and their team), but the team held our hands and more importantly was there for my Dad and stepmom. I was sad and worried when Jaki left. That anxiety has been alleviated by Monica, the new Health & Wellness Director at Brookdale. We have regular communication, she has gotten to know them and addresses all needs and concerns. Their NP, Renee, who visits every wk communicates with me regularly and Kim (activities coordinator) keeps an eye on both of them and helps with whatever they need. I visited for five days recently and it was clear that Brookdale is home and their staff is family. We are SO grateful! There is no perfect Assisted Living facility because nobody wants to place family. However, Brookdale Peoria is a special place, with special people.

Respectful, caring and compassionate are the words that I would use to describe the staff at Brookdale Peoria. The care that my mother has received in this facility is excellent. Administration, nursing staff and support staff are readily available to meet the needs of the residents and to answer any questions. The facility is clean and inviting. Further, Brookdale Peoria offers many activities for its residents. I would highly recommend this facility.

It was extremely difficult for my mom to live away from her own home but the people, both residents and staff, made her new home a much more enjoyable experience than I ever thought possible. The staff really care about the residents and are even protective of them which I greatly appreciate. When I visited Brookdale Peoria is always clean and accommodating. My mom has made many friends and she is overall happy to be living there.

I highly recommend Brookdale Peoria! They have delicious food and a wonderful cook that aims to please everyone! Their director, wellness director, and their whole team really care! They do everything they can to help make my Dad's stay there the best it can be. The people living there are wonderful as well. Don't look any further - Brookdale is the place!

I looked at many assistant care facilities for my aging dementia mother. Brookdale by far was the most friendly loving clean is places in the Sun City area. I can't say enough about everyone at this location and giving over 110% every day from people working in the kitchen to people working in the office they really truly made it feel very comfortable in a family environment for my mother.
