I have been very satisfied with Brookdale. The staff made my mom's transition to assisted living very smooth. They were very helpful in making my mom feel at home. The staff is always pleasant and happy to help in any way.

Meadowlark Hills in Manhattan, KS

It was beautiful, really nice! It was a little more expensive. The food was a three and a half or a four, it left a little to be desired. The people were friendly and it was clean and just beautiful!

I like this community for the good care for my dad. The staff is always keeping me updated on his progress. He is active but both of my parents are here and like that they are offered activities. We would recommend this community to other families for good care and the good value.
