Brookdale Skyline

Our Brookdale Experience It is time to reflect after our first year as Brookdale-Skyline residents: did we make the right decision moving out of our house after over forty years into a community of older people? Have our “care” expectations been met? Would we do it again? What would we tell people about our experience? Leaving a “long-time-lived-in” home is always a difficult transition. You are leaving everything you are familiar with - your home, your neighbors, your friends, the wildlife that visited your backyard every day, the postman’s friendly wave as your mail is delivered - the things that make you feel good about living there and moving into a facility that offers far less living space and a much older population of people to get to know. It is a very different life-style

Diana and I moved to Brookdale Skyline May, 2025. We were shown one of the cottages and found it quite suitable. Building community is important to us. We have enjoyed becoming friends with neighbors and others involved with the many activities offered here. Maintenance can be a problem but is slowly improving.

Skyline not only has the main facility to oversee but, unlike other Brookdale communities, has the cottages/townhomes to maintain also, which makes for some of the problems. Brookdale is a corporation and most of the decisions have to be made at the highest level of the corporation, taking time and patience. In spite of the above mentioned weaknesses, I recommend this Brookdale. I investigated other communities a

The first time I ever toured on property at Brookdale Skyline I was absolutely floored. The campus is so lovely and in a perfect location. All of the staff I interacted with were so friendly and helpful and I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone I know that’s looking for assisted living. Also they have the sweetest birds in the lobby ☺️
