Brookdale First Colony

My husband recently moved to Brookdale First Colony. The staff was extremely welcoming and the apartment was in excellent condition on move-in day. He eased into life at Brookdale with ease as he made friends with the lovely residents and is enjoying several of the many activities offered at this facility The grounds and gardens are beautifully maintained and he is spending lots of time outdoors with friends on the covered dearies areas. I’m extremely pleased with the transition.

The food is top notch! The staff is very friendly and responsive. Brookdale has everything mom could ever need. She is happier there than I have seen her in a long time. It is a great value for the money, the food is great, and there are plenty of things to do there.

Brookdale - Fordt Colony experience

A Place for Mom recommended several facilities and we toured them all. It was narrowed down to Brookdale - First Colony and [community removed]. At Brookdale- First Colony we were treated like a valued guest. We were provided lunch and all of our questions were answered. Brookdale - First Colony took the time to find my father’s needs as well as treating him with respect and dignity. We are so impressed with A Place for Mom and Brookdale - First Colony and recommend them very enthusiasticly.

The sales staff, front desk, cafeteria, maintenance, and even the health staff were all just top level. I sure wish Mom was still there! And by the way, you guys have been great as well.

Review for Brookdale First Colony

The facility was nice enough. The rooms are large enough, we did have a problem with German roaches. The food was good and the café was a plus. Mom was constantly getting lost because there was no difference in floors or bldg. Not to mention one of the elevators was constantly broken so it made things more difficult. House keeping was good. At home health was not a good experience. They were inconsistent with her medication.

Grateful for Brookdale

Many years ago, my great grandmother used to live at Brookdale First Colony. She loved the food and atmosphere. As a kid, I used to come all the time to see her almost every weekend. Years later, I'm grateful to be working for the same company and at the same community. I'm happy to be able to serve the residents here and the food and atmosphere is still amazing.

I would recommend to others. We picked this community because of the size of the apartments, availability and closeness of amenities, (laundry etc) maid service.
