My brother has been in memory unit 4 months. I live 1200 Miles away and as a long distance caregiver I have only marvelous experiences to report. The staff is wonderful. They not only keep me informed but they are also great with him. Definitely a 10 out of 10 rating thus far.

Here at Brookdale Niagra, an assisted living community, you can build new friendships and redefine your independence. So go ahead and take that Zumba class, go for a picnic lunch or join your new frien...

I am so glad that my cousin who was suffering from ALS chose to move into Brookdale Wayne, an assisted living facility for seniors. Over his stay I was very impressed by the sincere concern that the entire staff had for both his physical and emotional well being. His needs were continually re-evaluated to assure that the level of necessary care would be quickly adjusted. The nursing staff is excellent proving daily their high level of expertise in delivering senior health care. I observed only the highest level of respect and courtesy from staff members to all residents, family members and friends. A true sense of a caring community is evident. The high level of compassionate care delivered is not only felt by the resident staying there, but extends well beyond the walls to their family members and friends. If you are searching for a five star assisted living facility; do yourself a favor and give Brookdale Wayne a visit.

Brookdale Westlake Hills is in a quiet residential neighborhood with landscaped grounds and walking paths that are shaded by mature trees. It’s minutes from shopping, local restaurants, and venues for Austin’s famous music and entertainment.
