Love the administration and staff and accommodations. My fellow residents are family! Amenities and activities are varied and fantastic! My husband and I searched for six months before choosing Brookdale College Parkway. We kept coming back to this choice because it just felt like home! Our plans are to continue living here for the rest of our lives.
I am so happy to have become a resident of Brookdale college parkway. It's the best thing I've ever done and I wish I had done it a little bit sooner. Wonderful staff, friendly people, so many activities to get involved with. Very good food. I just love it here. This is my last stop 😄
Been here 6 months. Everything is fine.
Brookdale College Parkway has become my home and I intend for that to be. I came here nervous about another huge change. But I am pleased I did. Not perfect but growing, and changing with improvements on a consisent level. It carries the feel of home for me and I consider the residents ... family.
A great place, wonderful caring staff, great friends
I have always lived in a house, but this apartment is beautiful and I am very happy
The tour at Brookdale College Parkway was great. The friendliness was what I liked the most. I noticed a lot of places, like on the trim, I understand people move in and out, and things get banged up, I just thought probably maintenance should paint those even though they're going to get re-banged up to make it look better. I told the lady who took me around that this could be improved on. I ate lunch there, and the staff in the dining room was very nice. And they had arranged for me to eat with a resident, and she was very nice. The food was good. It was lunch. We just had a wrap, a little cup of soup, and a cookie.
