The main thing is that everybody is so extremely friendly. And they all appear as though they truly want to be helpful and kind. There doesn't appear to be a whole lot of options regarding meals. A larger variety would obviously be better. And thirdly, even though we were told that we signed signed up just in time to not be hit with an increase in cost. He's only been there less than two months and he's already gotten an increase in cost.

Highly Recommended
They were great in every way! My father experienced several episodes where additional care was needed and the entire staff stepped up to assist. The Executive Director, [name removed], was empathetic to our family's situation and worked with us to assist my dad with his challenges. [name removed], my first contact, is lovely and very professional. She's such a sweet lady. The entire staff consistently demonstrated compassion and commitment to my dad's well being and care. It's the best place for your loved one. They are cared for, safe and very well treated.

Best Choice I Could Have Made
The staff at Brookdale are warm, patient and accommodating. My Dad has been well cared for. The place smells great and is super clean every time I visit. The meals that I have enjoyed there with my Dad were really good, I love Brookdale East Tucson because it’s a small community with a consistent staff of caregivers who really get to know and love all of the residents. I toured several places before choosing Brookdale and honestly there was no competition. Im so thankful to everyone there!

Grateful and Pleased!
The staff is very friendly to family and guests and greets all residents by first name when passing in the halls. Staff is quick to notice if a resident needs assistance and stays with the resident until issue is resolved or more help arrives. We are pleased with housekeeping in the room and facility. Communication with the family has been very good: questions answered quickly by text, email, phone , requests honored promptly. The meals are good quality, variety, pleasing to the eye and taste. Also good options in case a meal served is just not to resident's liking. We really are very happy so far and so is mom. I would absolutely recommend Brookdale East Tucson to family and friends, without reservation!

Good fit for our family
It's a very good fit for our family. My loved one is really happy there, and really appreciated being introduced to the other residents. It's a smaller community, wihich offers a freindly service. Everyones needs is different, so I encourage other families, to take a look at the amenities, and room layout. Overall, it has been a positive experience.

My Brookdale East Tucson (Brookdale)
We were able to have an in person tour and our impression was that it was not terrific. They seemed more like they were geared more towards assisted living, and not independent living. Our loved one is very capable of doing things on their own and it seemed a little like a prison. Also low remarks when it comes to the grounds of the community.

My favorite thing is having my dog here with me in my apartment. I like the food very much. I like the nurse, if I have a question or something, they answer my quickly. The caregivers are helpful. I really get excited to see my son's visit and when entertainers come and play music.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Arizona regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Arizona regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Brookdale East Tucson 9.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
