Second is the smell that invites you in to a beautiful dayroom. Third is the staff that are warm, helpful and have the air of a calling and not a paycheck. If I ever need a home away from home, I’d be thrilled to live here. Ozzie Carlton / Gentiva Hospice
My parents moved into Brookdale in May 2025. I searched all over town to find a place I felt would be perfect for them, and without a doubt, it was Brookdale! The staff is so loving and caring. Nikki, the new chef, is incredible. My mom loves the food. My 95-year-old dad went to heaven in early June, and the staff wrapped my mom in compassion and empathy. Lakesha, the new director, is innovative and creative and is very patient-centered. The residents appear to be very happy and content. As an RN, I looked for a facility with very critical eyes, and Brookdale has not disappointed! Gail Ewing…

Brookdale has come some ways and still undergoing improvement as time allow. They have a new director that cares for the building and the residents and it shows. I also see new staff members who also interacts with the residents and from what I can see they light up when entering the building. When visiting I am greeted with a smile and always told to travel safe when leaving, every time. I am one who believes change is good when it's beneficial and I can't wait to see the new and improve changes that continues to come to Brookdale. And I want the staff to keep up the good work.

Very poor care. Mother waited 30 min. To 1 hour for help getting to the bathroom.I spoke with 4-5 other wheel chair residents and they all said same thing. You wait a long time for help. Mother began to decline and in 1 month price went from $4,400.00 to $13,600.00 Yes, that is NOT a typo above! Understaffed!!
When we first placed my loved one there things were good. But in the [date removed] my loved one has been there the staff has changed several times in certain position and all administrative personnel are brand new. The services my loved one pays for are falling by the wayside ie...laundry , house keeping and activities. Something is just not right at this moment in time.
Residents are more "mobile" seniors even with walkers/wheelchairs. Housekeeping and maintenance, and administration do an amazing job with a smile and hello for everyone.
I toured Brookdale Pensacola and I enjoyed the place. It has a welcoming atmosphere. The residents were engaged and involved. It was more structured for assisted living. The doors were locked and it was a bit more remote. I'm not sure my mom would feel as welcome there but I was very pleased with that facility. They had activities and meals. You didn't have to have the meal that was served, you could order off from the menus. Stella was the sales and marketing manager, and she was helpful. She understood what I was looking for for my mom and gave me a lot of good advice.
It is a lovely facility but just a little out of our budget. They did try to get the costs down for us but our dad's health needs were high.
