Brookdale College Square

The Brookdale staff are dedicated, caring, thorough and excellent communicators which make my whole family feel like they know everything that is going on with Mom. We were blessed to find this place!

Our sister wanted to live out her days in her hometown of Overland Park, so we had been looking for a progressive care facility when Covid shut everything down. Six months later we moved her into a pretty studio apartment in a progressive care home. Less than two weeks later they literally lost her. She walked out, they didn’t even realize she was gone for hours and then didn’t notify us for several more hours, after they had had to involve the police. Thank God she was located in a local hospital and was safe, but we worked with her attorney to get her out within days. It was a terrifying experience, but became a blessing.

We found Brookdale College Square and they allowed us (masked) to tour their facility and meet their staff, who have longevity and compassion, both critical components of memory care we have learned. The facility is a bit dated and her room is much smaller, but the care she receives is far better, she is taken care of much more personally and she has access to the entire facility. They had just had a room open up and worked diligently with us to get her moved in within a few days. We felt blessed and grateful and still are. I am older than she, live 800 miles away and have serious health issues so it’s been comforting to know she’s being cared for so compassionately. The management staff works well with my brother and me, ensures that he can visit often and even FaceTimed me so I could “visit” with her when they had to shut down. I highly recommend this facility because of their staff and the openness of the facility.

Residents feel seen and included by the staff.

My mom has been a resident at Brookdale College Square for 3 years. We have been very happy with her care. Communication about her medical, physical and emotional needs is very good. The directors (Jessica, and Willy) and wellness coordinator (Amanda) are always available and respond immediately to any concern I have. The activity directors (Pam and Amber, with Taylor), are the best I have ever seen. They do so much to stimulate the minds of their residents. The activity team treats all residents with respect and really gets to know them and their past lives. As hard as it has been to watch my mom decline with Alzheimer’s, I feel she is in the best place to live her last years. I feel blessed to have found Brookdale College Square, and would recommend it to anyone whose loved one needs memory care.

I've been extremely pleased with the care that is given at Brookdale for my loved one. I know she is safe, well taken care of and she loves all of the activities. Pamela and Amber give each resident one on one attention and they help family members who are visiting to feel comfortable and included when they can attend the activities. They take time to get to know the residents so they can personalize activities to the residents interests. I so appreciate the dedication they have to building a full life experience for my family member and all of her friends at Brookdale.
