My mom has been here for several years and we love that several of the staff and management have too. It shows they take care of their people and it’s not only a great place to live but a great place work. Everyone here makes her feel special and loved! As her daughter I couldn’t ask for anything more! Love our Brookdale family!!

Brookdale South in Denton has been providing assisted care to my mother in law for approximately 15 months. She arrived from Florida, where she had lived alone, then sustained an injury, and was also in early stage personality/memory issues. The staff at Brookdale worked closely with my wife and I, and Virginia, through he phases of adapting to a new lifestyle. She has gone from a difficult state in 2022, into a point where she is now considering Brookdale her home. Throughout this process, the management have facilitated an attitude in the staff of caring and support that sets them apart from the other centers I evaluated. Further, they have the experience to help guide our family in guiding Virginia. Getting old is difficult, going to a new style and losing your old one is difficult. The Brookdale folks manage it well. Note, Brookdale South is not perfect. They have issues, disturbances and challenges, just like all assisted care centers do. But, they also have a caring and experienced management staff; that creates a caring staff; who provided practicable care for Virginia and peace of mind for us.

The reality about assisted living facilities is that very few (I'd like to say none but that can be easily argued to be inaccurate) of them meet the expectations of the child who is entrusting their parent to the facility. It is, after all, a facility. Assisted living facilities tend to be under staffed. This is true of Brookdale; but for the most part the people who work there do the best that they can. There were times when some of the simple housekeeping chores were not attended to; which is a reflection of the level of staffing and not the work ethic of the staff. The staff at this location are very good at making the resident feel loved and important. They try to encourage the residents to participate in corporate activities and outings. My mother spent the last 19 months of her life here. At first she resented being placed in an institution; but towards the end she considered Brookdale to be her home; and many of the fellow residents to be her friends. All in all it was a good experience. One caution- watch for the propensity to prescribe additional services; at additional costs of course- especially by the onsite LVN.

We coordinated with the facility to have the kids perform community service hours for here for their requirements for school. The kids came back and were able to to day that they had enjoyed the time in the facility. They were a bit irritated that some of the residents had different rules to games they played.. LoL, but they were overall happy with the people they met, the facility, and enjoyed the different areas at the facility. As we talked to them, they didn't have a negative experience.
