The main thing why we chose Brookside Inn is because they have a memory care unit, and they accepted Medicaid. The staff is fantastic and they have excellent food. The rooms are nice. They are nicely decorated and comfortable. Their activities are good. They have music, arts, and bingo. They have lots of things for them to do.

The Brookside Inn Facility seemed very friendly as well as kind, every one smiled at you as you walked by them. The medical service was better than most, the CNA's and Nurses seemed to know what they were doing taking care of the residence. The few residents that I talked to were happy with the service they provided, they said the people were kind and helped with everything. The food service was a little scary, it looked as though there was no order for anything and that the place was serving above the minimum requirement of food quality. The rooms were for 2 people and were separated by a curtain, the residents of each room shared a closet, and a bathroom together. The Laundry personal would get the clothes to the residents with in a few days, but the clothes would get mixed up or go into the lost and found, because the residents names were not written on their clothing items.

A friend became a resident within the past two years, having to give up his home and possessions due to health issues. Within a short amount of time, he had made numerous new friends, received the daily care to begin rebuilding his health, and was able to resume much of his normal previous lifestyle. He seemed to do very well in this facility.
