Brookdale Shawnee

Ever since my mom moved into Brookdale Shawnee, she has had all the care she needs. The beginning was rough, as it is for everyone making that large of a life change, and they helped mom AND us through that time. I no longer have to worry about the care that mom needs as I have full confidence in staff and community of Brookdale Shawnee.

My parents and their cat have been residents at Brookdale Shawnee since March of 2018. It was difficult for me to come to the realization that they needed more help than I could give. The staff was very caring, understanding and helpful throughout the process. Mom, Dad and the cat have settled in well. The staff is wonderful, making sure they are checked on and assisted as needed. Meal reminders, nice dining rooms, activities throughout the day, hairdresser and musicians who come to entertain. (I’ve seen nail polish on mom more now than while I was growing up. She likes to show me the colors she picks out.). Occasionally I pick up mom and dad for church, and when I arrive, they are all ready to go. The associates even do moms hair all cute.

We love Brookdale Shawnee for our mother. The workers genuinely care and engage with the residents. The dining area is always very clean & the Food is delicious. The apartment is perfect size and always kept clean. We moved our mother into another facility before Brookdale and found a very different surrounding and feel extremely lucky/blessed to have found this place. 5-Stars from our family.

My father has been a resident of Brookdale Shawnee since August of 2016. Since he has been there his physical health has improved because of the wonderful and consistent care he receives. The staff see to it that he is engaged in daily activities and are always patient and kind. It is a hard decision to move your loved one to a memory care facility, but seeing my dad's improved health and mental attitude makes me feel like we made the best choice for him by moving him to Brookdale Shawnee.

I moved my mother to assisted living in Topeka in June 2012. She was suffering from Parkinson and dementia. During the years of 2012 through 2016. I had my mother at two different assisted living facilities. In July of 2016 my Mom's health was declining and I wanted her closer to me. I moved my mother to Shawnee Brookdale on 65th Street on July 10th, 2016. My mother passed away on May 29, 2017. Since I have the experience of several assisted living facilities, I can tell you Shawnee Brookdale is the place you want your loved one to be. The nurses, administrative staff and cleaning staff are wonderful, caring and loving individuals to the residents and family of the residents. During the last week of my mother's life, the Shawnee Brookdale staff were a true family to the end. They
