I recently toured Brookdale Brea as I’m helping my dad transition into assisted living, and I was so impressed by everything I saw. From the moment we walked in, the community felt warm, welcoming, and incredibly well cared for. The entire place was spotless, bright, and inviting, which immediately gave me peace of mind. The dining area stood out as well—the menu options looked delicious, and the residents we saw seemed to truly enjoy their meals. It’s clear that a lot of thought goes into both the quality and variety of food offered. What really made the biggest impression, though, was the kindness of the management and staff. Everyone we spoke with was not only professional but genuinely caring and attentive. They took the time to answer all our questions, explain the services available, and reassure us that my dad would be supported in every way. Overall, I left feeling very confident that Brookdale Brea would be a wonderful place for my dad to live, with a safe, clean environment, great food, and a compassionate team that truly cares about their residents.

Our mom has been living at Brookdale in Brea for almost one year. The staff there are beyond excellent. From the front desk through the executive director every staff member we have come in contact with have treated us like family. Brookdale is truly home. Mom is happier than ever, she loves her apartment and enjoys having so many activities available to every resident. The meals are wonderful. We were treated to a special lunch with mom on her birthday, Chef Sylvester did an amazing job and the dining room staff were so professional and kind. Choosing Brookdale has been the best decision for mom's new home. Danny and Lori Pagel

Brookdale was top notch. The studio apart was amazing. It didn’t look “old” like other places I had visited. Mr father is independent so the services were just right for him that were included in the monthly rent. Meals, laundry and linen service and meals were included. Staff were professional and friendly. It didn’t matter what day or time I was visiting my dad everyone was friendly. I had complete peace of mind that my father was in a safe environment and all his needs were taken care of.

After our first year, we are pleased to tell the world that Brookdale Brea turned out to be a fantastic place to live. The staff are great and cordial. We find any request is answered quickly and thoroughly with a smile. Our apartment is roomy and almost like our old home. The chef is very responsive to request and we have always enjoyed every meal. Housekeeping is cordial and competent. We certainly recommend Brookdale Brea to anyone no matter how fastidious they might be. On premises hairdresser and manicurist provides excellent services at a reasonable cost. We feel our life is complete here. -Dick and Peggy Dixon

Brookdale Brea was a wonderful decision for my dad. He is so happy with the food, activities and the staff. It was a hard decision for us to place dad in a community. He had lived with us for 3 years and we were used to him being with us but we realize a community with friends allowed us to focus on our relationship with him and not his care. We are very happy we found Brea for him.
