Brentwood has truly transformed in the 6 months, with focus on making the resident’s the main point and making sure their needs are being cared for and met. As I’ve walked down the hallways, I’ve noticed bigger smiles and contagious laughs of resident’s feeling right at “home”, and you can’t help but to crack a smile and laugh right along with them. Keep up the Great work Brentwood Staff.

My bestfriend is Ali, she is the Memory Care Director. She invites me and my 2 children to most of the events and we absolutely love coming to them. The staff is amazing and so great with my kids. The residents love to see my 2 little girls and I feel like it brightens their time, while we are there. I have never had a bad experience there. Everyone is so helpful and kind. Everything is clean and well-taken care of. The events are always so much fun ((for all ages)) and my children usually fall asleep as soon as we leave the parking lot, because of all the excitement. If I had an elderly family member that needed special care, Brentwood would be my first choice.
