Brookdale East Wichita

After my dad passed away in October, we felt Brookdale was the best place for my mother. The staff truly cares—not just for her, but for all the residents. I really enjoy seeing how they interact with everyone; their kindness is genuine. Just last week, my mom had about five family members visiting. One of the staff members stopped by, noticed the gathering, and came back shortly with ice cream for everyone. It’s those small, thoughtful gestures that make such a meaningful difference.

Brookdale is a wonderful senior living community for loved ones needing memory care. There is a high quality and loving staff there that take good care of the residents. They are intentional in developing meaningful relationships with them right from the beginning of their admission, that eases the stress of leaving their homes and lives as they move into this next stage of life. Wonderful activities are also provided for the residents that are enjoyable and engaging, and promote community. Brookdale is not just a memory care facility for those in need of care. It is a quality care community where staff and residents become extended family and where the residents are comfortable and feel at home. All of these things also make the transition easier for the families of residents as well, as they entrust their loved ones into Brookdale's care.

While touring numerous care facilities, one morning I stopped by Brookdale Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care, I immediately felt this was a good place to care for my loved one. Over several years, I have observed Brookdale staff interact with residents; they display such kindness and patience toward all residents that it makes me feel comfortable knowing my brother is being cared for in the same manner. I also appreciate the prompt personal contact when a situation arises and weekly newsletter keeping all loved ones informed. Recently they have started a Memory Care Support Group. It is important to keep our loved ones engaged. A daily agenda lists various types of activities. Most afternoons residents enjoy a light snack followed by music in the game room. Familiar songs are played with lyrics displayed on screen. You would be surprised to hear most everyone singing and swaying along. It is a pleasure to sing with them.
