The community emphasizes a person-centered approach, especially in their memory care program, which focuses on routines and familiar activities tailored to individual needs. They prioritize safety, independence, and social connection, offering amenities like pet friendliness, transportation, a beautician, and gardens. Memory care residents benefit from specialized programs like Clare Bridge, designed to help those with dementia feel comfortable and supported.
Overall, Brookdale Corona is seen as a welcoming community with compassionate staff and engaging programs by many families.

My Great Aunt lived at Brookdale for 2 1/2 years and for quite a while she thought she was staying at a hotel. She had her favorite caregivers and formed special bonds before her passing. Rosalie and Alma are amazing. Joy goes out of her way to make all activities fun and even helps with check ins to see if there is anything you need.
Thank you Brookdale Corona for taking on my Blind Altheizmers parents as a couple to keep them together. Thank you especially to Rose Williams for taking such good care of them. To Angela who made her passing peaceful and professional. And the Hospice team was outstanding. All of the staff truly love my parents! I saw this when my Mom was passing away this week and everyone came in to visit her even on their days off a lot of tears were shed! They are taking special care of my Dad to make sure he's not alone at this time. I really love all of you all from Upper managment who check on me daily to housekeeping who hug me in the hall. Your the best.
Thank you to Brookdale Corona for taking such good care of my mom. I would like to give a shout out to Rosalie Williams - one of the staff members. She is an angel❤️. She has made this tough transition for my mom a little easier. She is kind, hard working, patient and treats the residents with respect and compassion.
We love the staff, they make our loved one stay better and more comfortable. Brookdale Corona is above other memory care facilities.
We recently had the pleasure of dealing with Brookdale, Corona. It’s always a difficult decision when having to reach this stage in life, but we made the best decision possible by putting my father in law at Brookdale. They treat their residents with compassion, dedication and love. The facility was always clean and secure. The staff was always attentive to all residents. We appreciate everything they do!! THANK YOU!!
