Please do not turn to Brookdale Foundation House for help with your loved ones. They are in the business of making money. Period. When we first inquired here, they seemed so nice and accommodating, that is UNTIL they found out we were on a budget and asked about Medicaid programs. Where at first they were willing to negotiate on rent, second-person fees, community fee, etc., the minute they found out we were not wealthy, they changed completely. The answer to every question we asked was "no," "no," "no," and they weren't so nice about it. They wanted to charge my parents nearly $7000/month in rent for a barely 600 square-foot one-bedroom apartment, a $4500 (non-refundable) community fee, and nearly $6000/month in care costs for just ONE of my parents.If you have done any research on assisted living, you will know that this exploitative and outrageous! I believe they did this to us because they knew we were in a time-crunch to find help and only wanted our money. Do yourself a favor if you are looking for assisted living in the area and skip Brookdale Foundation House altogether. If your loved ones need fairly little assistance with ADL's, go to Village Green. If your loved ones need more intensive assistance, go to GenCare. I eventually got my parents into assisted living at less than HALF of what Brookdale wanted to charge us. The place we landed has staff who are much friendlier, the rooms are bigger, and the care costs are less than a THIRD of what Brookdale quoted us.

VENDORS WHATCH OUT! They hired our small family owned company and took a complete advantage of us! They called and scheduled our service to check and fix their 10 washers and dryers but never paid a dime for our inspection and repair though were pretty much willing to fix it. I guess they wanted us to do it for free. Their front desk told us they won't accept an invoice from us via email but ONLY BY FAX. It's 2025 and seems like these folks are still stuck in 1900s... We have been contacting them for almost 6 months since our initial appointment and they are still ghosting us.

We looked at over 20+ facilities before going with Brookdale Foundation House. We moved our mother into Memory care and it has been a great experience from the very beginning. We meet with Katie (sales/marketing) who gave us a tour and answered all of our questions. Katie went above and beyond to make the transition smooth and stress free. It’s has been a couple months since our mother has been at Brookdale and we visit often. The nurses, activities coordinator, CNA’s, and front desk personnel have continued to be amazing. If you are reading this review, you are looking to place your loved one in a caring facility. Reach out to Katie, take a tour and feel confident that this staff is AMAZING!! Thanks Katie! The Chatterson Family.

Foundation House housekeeers are totally awesome; they're polite. Everyone who works here and lives here make me feel like family. We are just like a big family. As a resident here I like to volunteer my time in helping everyone, especially in memory care.
