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.

My parents have been living at Brookdale Foundation House for five years and I am pleased with the overall care they have been receiving. The community is nice, well looked after and cozy, the staff is friendly, and the food is good. During the pandemic, they have kept residents safe by following state protocols such as delivering meals to rooms and taking temperatures daily. When my parents were facing an eviction notice due to a planned memory care unit on their floor, the director worked hard to get them two side-by-side singles. In the end, Foundation House modified a single apartment and a studio into a small double apartment for my folks so that they could remain in their home of five years. I am grateful for everything that Foundation House has done for my parents!
