Grandbook facilitated my mother in law's move from Florida two years ago, which would not have been possible without the personal involvement of Oracia and Stephen. In our observations over the past two years, the staff has been fantastic, respectful and truly caring with residents. Grandbrook has provided a positive impact on our lives. My wife and I will miss our recently departed mother and will also miss the entire Grandbrook community. We highly recommend Grandbrook memory care based on our experience.

Friendly and attentive staff. Our mom took to several people on the staff, most notably Emanuel. This was the perfect place for our Mother to live out her last days with us. Would definitely recommend.

We placed our dear mother into care at Grand Brook McKinney and have been blown away by the exceptional treatment she has received there. The staff is uncommonly professional, compassionate, caring, generous, and helpful. We are so thankful we found such a warm and healthy environment that always goes generously above and beyond in everything they do. Mom loves Grand Brook and so do we! Five stars all the way!

I must say we are very happy with Grand Brook Memory Care McKinney facility. My Mom has been there since June 2023 and we've been very impressed with GB care for her. It's night and day compared to the memory care facility she was at. They have all kinds of activities planned for the residents at GB. We feel like it was a God send for her to be at GB McKinney. Thank you and keep up the good work Grand Brook Memory Care of McKinney.

Wonderful place, wonderful staff who constantly go above and beyond. We have shown up all at different hours of day and we are always pleased. They were outstanding during Covid, people are super friendly, our parent is well groomed and cared for. Clean facilities hard to find a better place.

My husband has been at Grand Brook McKinney Memory Care for a month. Stephen called to welcome us with information we needed for his admission. The staff, all of them, are so caring. Tria and Taj keep the residents engaged with activities, music and fun games. The family atmosphere helps new residents and families feel at home and know they are well cared for. We are so blessed to be at Grand Brook in McKinney.

Grand Brook Memory Care of McKinney is an absolute blessing. The entire staff (top to bottom) are nothing less than OUTSTANDING! The staff interact with the residents on a daily basis and genuinely care about every resident. They offer regular Zoom update meetings for family members and the WhatsApp group to share news and photos of loved ones participating in activities happening within the community. Robyn, Stephen and Oracia went above and beyond to make the transition into the community for our loved one an absolutely positive experience. I can honestly say that everything about the Grand Brook feels like family.

Grand Brook is The Best ! Great caregivers. Management truly hires excellent caregivers who have experience, knowledge, ....I have seen them handle numerous situations with skill and professionalism. I have total faith in the management as well. Oracia, Anthony, Stephen,Millie, Stephanie, Heide and Robyn make a well working team. The food is good tasting and of great quality too!

Grand Brook Memory Care of Allen was the perfect place to move my parents from independent living, especially during the COVID pandemic. All the caregivers at Grand Brook love on my parents as if they are part of their own family. The facility is beautiful and feels like a home. Sadly, my dad has since passed away, but my mom has found a new friend and she is now her BFF! Grand Brook has given me a great sense of peace knowing that my parents are cared for so lovingly! Thank you Grand Brook!!!

Grand Brook! Best decision I ever made for Mother. We had been to an exclusive home in Plano costing close to $8500 a month. They had a nurse that was not up to her job and she didn’t speak clear English. We had some terrible issues the state would not let go on there. After the issue list got too long we left. We went to another place in Frisco and it was great till new management came in and 2 months later I pulled her out. I had to contact an attorney with that place. Now GrandBrook! The care. They are honest. I sleep at night peacefully. I can understand and trust the staff more than I would trust anyone else. I have had an issue pop up and every time they take care of it tight away. The caregivers have been very truthful with me and I have never had that. They are not perfect but they will fix any problem, which are very few, ASAP. I feel they care and love her! They are Christians and it shows. I support and recommend them and if you come and see them I will let them get me in touch with you and answer any questions! Your loved one is safe here!

Our elderly family member was admitted to Grand Brook Memory Care Center in McKinney with dementia after having experienced a traumatic brain injury. Prior to his admission at Grand Brook he had been in a skilled nursing facility that provided him with horrific care. We were totally amazed at the difference in care after he was transferred to Grand Brook in McKinney. All of the staff and caregivers at Grand Brook provided him with wonderful care, both physically and spiritually. We never had any negative events while he was there. The staff members were all wonderful. We especially would like to acknowledge Oracia Savage-Executive Director, Robyn Washington- Director of Community Relations, and Stephen White-Director of Nursing Healthcare. and Heidi. (not sure of her last name). A very special thank you goes to Stephen White. He was always available and so committed to providing quality healthcare to his patients. He also always made sure the family was informed of what was going on with our loved one. Because of the wonderful care provided, we were able to bring our family member home after such an unexpected improvement in his condition. We will always be grateful for the wonderful people there and the great care he received. Thank you so much and God Bless you all.

Grand Brook Memory Care is the VERY BEST! Ever since Melissa with Baylor Hospital recommended Stephen White at Grand Brook I knew that I would find peace with my big brothers care. It took almost a year from the time Melissa recommended Stephen, for it to become possible for us to begin our relationship with Stephen and his wonderful staff. From the moment that I spoke to Stephen for the first time, up until now, I have felt an unwavering commitment to a level of care I could not have imagined at the time we first talked. The attention to detail, compassion and care big brother receives is unmatched in any medical facility we have been associated with prior to bringing big brother to Grand Brook. I can't begin to tell you how many times Stephen, Oracia and Heidi have gone out of their way, and have gone the extra mile, to help big brother with his daily needs for the past two and a half years. We continue to talk and share the day to day struggles with each other, either on the phone, or, in person. We share a confidence that Stephen and his staff are navigating for our family, doing their very best each and every day to provide exceptional quality care at Grand Brook. I consider it a blessing in life to be associated with these wonderful people, who care! God Bless,

My wife suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and I cared for her at home. As the disease progressed, although I was reluctant to move her into a memory care facility, I had to admit that I could no longer care for her properly alone. I knew that she would receive better care than I could manage and would be safer, with the staff of a good memory care home looking after her. But how to determine which place was the best? I decided to search for a home that 1. Was for memory care only. 2. Was not too large. 3. Cared for their residents to the end of their illness. And 4. Was near enough to me that I could visit every day. I found Grand Brook immediately. It was the only home I found in McKinney that provided memory care exclusively. And it's not too large, a little over 40 bedrooms. I call it a "home" because that's the impression I got. A big one-story home. There is a large gathering room with a big TV and lots of comfortable seating. However, residents are not required to remain in that room. They are free to wander the corridors if they wish. There are two other comfortably furnished rooms with TVs. My wife liked to walk the corridors and visit the TV rooms. When I would arrive for a visit, if my wife wasn't in the main room, one of the care givers always knew exactly where she was. This always impressed me. I encourage you to arrange to visit Grand Brook and to spend a little while there to observe not only the facility, but to see the loving care that is given to each resident. I hope this will be helpful to anyone who is needing to find the right place for a loved one. When you visit there, maybe a group of residents in the large gathering room will be in the middle of one of the many games that they play. There is friendship and lots of laughter. Definitely not a "nursing home atmosphere". My other reason for writing this is to express how very, very grateful I am for every one of the employees at Grand Brook. Their friendliness and helpfulness and all-around cheerful and upbeat attitude make Grand Brook unique. Hopefully, when you visit there, you will feel, as I did on my first visit. This is the place.

Although I have limited experience with memory care facilities, i have to say that Grand Brook Memory Care of McKinney has THE Most Amazing staff. From sales to director of nursing to director, and most importantly, the caregivers and folks that interact with the residents on a daily basis - every single one of these people actually seem to like their work and CARE about the residents! With the regular Zoom update meetings for family members and the WhatsApp group to share news and photos of events and activities, its easy to feel connected to your loved one. It is really, truly amazing to me - and especially at such a stressful time for family members - choosing where to have your loved one live - the Grand Brook team is stellar! So happy we chose Grand Brook for our Mom, and even with her dementia, she still consistently tells me how sweet everyone is that works here. If you have to deal with these devastating illnesses, Im happy to have Grand Brook along for the journey!

It would take me writing an entire novel to properly express and explain what a true blessing Grand Brook-McKinney has been for our family. We found GBM a month ago after putting up with very sub par care and treatment for 2 months in an Allen Memory care facility. Oh! How I wish we had gone to GBM first—but so very thankful she is under their loving care now. Specifically, she now has a team helping her every step of the way to manage her medication. Under the watchful eye and extremely kind heart of Stephen White, RN, my mom is finally getting all the help she not only needs—but deserves. His patience and empathy not only for her, but our entire family, his 24 hour availability by text or phone, and his true love for his job are unequaled. He has become a member of our family. The rest of the staff is also amazing and it all starts at the top with the director, Oracia. She has created a team of skilled professionals who treat both residents and their families with dignity, care and love. Very important note: All employees at Grand Brook receive a minimum of 64 hours of training in memory care in their first 3 months—as well as ongoing training each month. This is what makes GBM unlike any other place we found. The activity program is also another amazing plus. Tria keeps residents engaged all day long with games, song, dance, trivia contests, and so much more. I have never seen her without a huge smile on her face as she moves from person to person to keep each one entertained, active and thinking. Taj is also so good with the residents. He sings, plays great oldies on his guitar, and works so well with everyone—no matter their level of ability to engage. Residents are encouraged constantly to participate as they can. My mom, who is unable to do that, is still engaged by merely watching and listening to the activity. One of our biggest issues when we came had to do with nutritious food. We are more than pleased with the menu offered at GBM. Fresh fruit and vegetables are a staple. Processed-frozen food is very limited. Spices and condiments are readily used and made us so happy. My mom did not work all her life to have to eat fish sticks and mystery meat—and Grand Brook changed all that for her. Many kudos to their culinary team for sure! Since we have only been there a month, we have not learned everyones names, but I feel the need to shout out to a few of the awesome people who have already made a wonderful impression on us! Emmanuel is a true blessing and has such a sweet relationship with my mom. Jimmy, Nancy, Maria, Vanessa, Taylor and Rebecca are always ready to help and do everything with such pleasant attitudes. I smile watching them interact with my mom. Their memory training shines in their ability to communicate and comfort her. Heidi is the admin assistant but spends so much time interacting with residents and families. She is always happy to help, energetic and such a sweet, bubbly presence! Robyn, is the community director and her enthusiasm for her job is very contagious—she is always there to answer questions and help. And last but not least, a huge compliment to Connie! She is an amazing housekeeper and takes such pride and ownership in her mission. Moms room is always beautifully clean and smells amazing! Grand Brook McKinney runs like a well oiled machine, but is chock full of loving care, professionalism, and personality. Thanking God every day for guiding us to Grand Brook. The End. (The way every good novel ends!)

My wife was a resident at Grand Brook Memory Care of McKinney. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for a residential home for their loved one with Alzheimers or other forms of dementia. Memory care is all they do and they are very good at it. The facility is warm and welcoming, with nice resident rooms and several pleasant common areas to provide variety. There is a real family atmosphere there, and visitors are always welcome. The staff is very experienced and show real devotion to their work and real care and concern for the residents. They treat their residents with dignity and respect - like family.

My dad has been a resident of Grand Brook for over 4 years and he and my family feel like G B has been a gift from God. We had two previous experiences with other facilities that was not a good fit. Finding Grand Brook was my dads answer to his style of living. He loved it from the get go and felt like he was meeting old friends. As we drove up you are welcomed by a well groomed yard with outdoor seating, flower beds flourishing and a wonderful Texas welcome. Our guide spoke directly to my dad and made him comfortable. We noticed immediately the clean home like environment and well cared resident. Anytime I have visited its the smell of fresh food cooking and that is the key to dads heart. The staff is wonderful, caring, happy and up front To let you know of any change in dads condition. I Love the parties, activities, and programs too. Dena Williams

I was so distraught at what was available for my mom until I found Grand Brook. The day I set my foot in the door, met Stephen White the Director of Healthcare and his staff, I knew I found my moms forever home. The facility is immaculate, not an ounce of trash any where on the property. Each staff member so courteous and kind and exude joy and compassion to help our loved ones. They enjoy what they do and it shows. The facility runs like a well oiled engine. They send videos and pictures of mom consistently. They engage her, love her, pray for her and with her. They have guided me with confidence and reassurance the entire way, I was very skeptical having a terrible experience at another facility. The Director, Executive Director and other staff members went the extra mile to reassure me they are in this business out of compassion for the elderly, providing the care they need and deserve and above all the dignity they deserve. It hasnt stopped not for a minute. I love visiting, it is not depressing but always active and joyful. They work hard to accommodate family needs no matter what the ask is. They have fought this pandemic with fierce fervor and resolve and in my opinion, they have won! This gem should not be overlooked, I dont know how I missed it but I am so thankful I found it.

We have had an amazing experience with placing my Dad at Grand Brook. Its been a challenging road, but the entire team at Grand Brook have been so kind, warm and supportive to my family and my Dad. The DON, Stephen has been so patient, warm and helpful. Im not sure we would be where we are without him! He and the entire team of caregivers, have shown us how they put the families and patients first and go above and beyond to ensure the best care for each person.

Grand Brook Memory Care has taken care of my mother and father on several respite stays. In the past, they have done an excellent job of taking care of them. Since my fathers passing, they still care for my mother from time to time. They truly have a heart of compassion for taking care of their residents. In fact, I trust them more than any other home my parents have stayed in. When I pick up my mother, she always looks happy and smells good. The staff also puts a lot of effort into daily games and mind-stimulating activities. I highly recommend Grand Brook Memory Care!!

My Dad has been a resident for over a year now and I cannot begin to tell you what an incredible place Grand Brook is. Every single employee makes us feel like we are part of a large family. We see daily pictures-videos of the daily activities which has been wonderful during Covid lockout. The director has advocated on our behalf w- the state and w-senators to get the best for my Dad and the others. The design of the facility is such that there are neighborhoods and the residents are encouraged to roam and explore. There is plenty of natural sunlight and the facility is just a one story which has been great to visit Dad outside his window due to Covid restrictions. I cannot say enough wonderful things. HIGHLY recommend!! Happy Dad!

My wife of over 55 years has been a resident of GrandBrook McKinney for over a year and a half. I feel truly fortunate to have found a place that cares for her and who she is-was. Everything is run professionally and competently. The way they have handled the Pandemic has only highlighted their outstanding attributes. Everyone is a professional in every sense of the word. I couldnt ask for more than that! I visit as frequently as I can and It gives me great comfort to know that my life-partner is treated with respect and love.

Grand Brook Memory Care is excellent in all aspects. Nurse Stephen White, Staff director Oracia , and the kitchen staff as well as the care givers strive for excellence in all they do. This is especially true during the recent pandemic. They came highly recommended and we concur. The facility is kept spotless and maintained by staff such as Francisco and other workers. Grand Brook would be an excellent choice for anyone seeking this type of care.

My Texas sisters and I moved our dad to Grand Brook almost a year ago and our experience with him there since has been nothing short of phenomenal. To say the management and staff there are all outstanding, loving, caring, and skilled is the understatement of the century. The care that my dad has received and the attention to detail is almost unbelievable. He went there confused, angry, depressed, and withdrawn but now loves his life, his friends, and the staff like they were family. He is positive, engaged, happy, and content and I can say that is all because of the environment that is Grand Brook of McKinney. He absolutely loves the plethera of daily activities and the fact that if he feels like just sitting in the atrium and soaking up the morning sun, or sleeping in and taking breakfast in his room on a particular day, he can do that as well. The facility has a homey feel about it and is bright, airy, and always spotless and dad is always clean and well presented as well. The management and staff have always had excellent communication with the families but with the Covid challenges, they not only stepped up to the challenge but have gone over and above the call of duty in keeping us updated about our loved ones, communicating with them through Facetime and other means, and making sure we are familiar with the current Covid state regulations and progress. God touches this place and the staff that work there every single day, there is simply no other explanation for it. We rest in knowing that our dad is happy and well taken care of and that we dont ever have to worry about him. I live over 2000 miles away but told my husband that if I ever need to be placed in a memory care home, he has to promise to send me to Grand Brook, even if it means he rarely gets to visit me in person!

When having to move my mom from independent living into a memory care; I was concerned that it was too big a step for her as she was still used to her independence and quite active but had begun wandering. The staff at Grand Brook helped make the transition so much easier as they gave her chores to help with to make her feel still worthwhile. She has never been one to sit idle. 2020 has been a challenge for all of us and the lockdowns were unpleasant but Grand Brook made family feel like we were still aware of the day-today activities through Whats App, Facetime calls and window visits, then courtyard visits. We are now able to have essential caregiver visits with our loved ones and I know Mom has been well cared for and feels safe. The Grand Brook staff is loving, caring and on top of changes and keeps the family both informed and involved. The activities are above and beyond what one would expect to see and it is a joy to see the participation and sense of belonging that the residents feel in this community. No one wants to be in memory care, but Grand Brook is certainly the best I could have hoped for when I needed to place my mom.

My father lives at Grand Brook in McKinney and he loves it there. The residents and unbelievable staff really make it a remarkable home. During the pandemic we have been able to visit anytime because the property is all first floor and we can visit through the window. Some of my friends have loved ones in multi story properties and they are limited on visits. We can visit anytime through the window without an appointment.

My son and I visited several memory care facilities before selecting Grand Brook McKinney for my husband. The administration and all other staff members made the difficult decision to place him in a memory care community much easier. I have never seen such a hard-working and caring group of people. Their dedication to keeping the family informed about the residents health and needs is very reassuring. I feel comforted by their willingness to pray for the needs that surround us. In short, I trust them.

Grand Brook has been such a blessing to my father and to our family. This is my dad's first year in a care facility, and we feel so fortunate that we found Grand Brook. The staff clearly are special people and have been carefully selected and well trained on how to handle even the most difficult situations with grace and reassurance. Residents are compassionately cared for and provided with stimulation and personal engagement on a daily basis, and my dad really enjoys the personal interactions with staff and residents. Robyn, the activity director, is creative and energetic in bringing life and engagement to the group, and Dad loves the live music and games that are provided during recreation times. Family parties and events are regularly sprinkled into the monthly schedule, and visits are encouraged whenever family can come. The meal menu changes daily and dad always cleans his plate! Medical care is monitored daily via the on-staff healthcare directors who contact us whenever concerns arise or decisions need to be made (thank you, Stephen!) Oracia, the executive director, and her assistant, Heide, are both sweet and very approachable and are responsive to any questions or needs I might have have. The caregivers are just wonderful and I feel safe that everyone there really knows my dad and what he needs from them. I rest easy at night and have a sense of trust and comfort that Dad will be well cared for and enjoy life at Grand Brook.

My dad has Alzheimer's Disease, and we really extremely dreaded the the point when we would have to place him in a Memory Center Center, mainly because of our view of these types of places. We were very cautious and selective of the place that we wanted my dad to live and be cared for. The first time that we visited Grand Brook in McKinney, my mom and I both felt a total peace about him being there. He has been there about two months now, and I honestly could not imagine a better place for my dad to live and be cared for. Oracia the Executive Director, Stephen the Director of Nursing, Christina the Sales and Marketing Director, Robin the Activities Director, and Heidi the Office Manager all are amazing with the residents, and it's obvious that they view their responsibility as a calling rather than a job. It's so obvious and clear that they love the residents and they really treat all of the residents like family. Lastly and probably most importantly are the Caregivers. They treat the residents with a tremendous amount of respect and love, which you don't see in many nursing homes or memory care centers. It is unbelievable watching them care for the residents. I believe that their attitudes start and are due to the leadership that I listed. We see every day that the Caregivers honestly care about what they do and they sincerely love the residents, which is so rare in facilities like this. We are so blessed to have found Grand Brook for my dad to spend his last years. I would highly recommend anyone that needs to find a Memory Care Center for a family member to check this place out before you place your loved one anywhere else. I know without a doubt that you will love this place and be totally surprised like we were at the difference compared to other Memory Care Centers and Nursing Homes.

When it came to the point that we knew that we were going to have to find 24 hour care for my dad who has Alzheimers Disease, we started looking for a place where we felt like he would get good care in. The first time that my mom and I visited Grand Brook of McKinney, we felt a peace about this place. Its hard to explain, other than you can tell that all the care givers honestly like what they do, they are all so patient with the residents, and they without a doubt genuinely care about the residents. Everyone there is down to earth and friendly. Oracia, the Executive Director, and Stephen, the Director, Robin, the Activities Director, and Christina, the Admissions Director, are all amazing people, who seem to genuinely view their roles as a calling rather than only a job. Oracia and her leadership staff set the tone for the staff. We visited several other facilities and they all seemed like standard nursing homes, and Grand Brook feels more like home and a big family. We are so blessed and fortunate to have found Grand Brook for my dad! I would highly recommend anyone visit Grand Brook of McKinney if you are searching for a home for your loved one to be taken care of.

Grand Brook Memory Care of McKinney is such a comfort and a true "home" for my father. After checking out more than eight facilities, our family quickly fell in love with Grand Brook. The staff is incredible and after many months of observing them, I have never seen or heard an impatient or brusque comment or action. Patience, care, love, and authenticity is always present. Patients are shown impeccable attention and concern for every detail. Dignity is granted each patient, from the lovely dining rooms with real dining tables and chairs, porcelain plates, and sweet service to the smiles and laughter staff generates on a daily basis...this is truly a blessed place. (My father often believes he is on a cruise ship much of the time.) Having a Medical Director on staff is amazing and he works closely with doctors, hospitals, and technicians to assure safety and quality health care. Activities are constant and engaging, with tenderness and special attention for those unable to fully participate. Parties and dinners for family and residents are beautiful, happy occasions, and well thought out. This memory care unit manages to put a smile on the face of both the families and residents....even when it may be a tough day to get through. Their support is incredible and I highly recommend Grand Brook McKinney for your special loved one. We have been truly blessed to find such a safe, happy place for our dear loved one.

After nine years of being a caregiver for my husband who has Alzheimer’s, it became apparent that soon it would be necessary to place him in a Memory Care Facility. My search lasted several months and included not only visiting facilities but talking with others who had personal experience. Some facilities obviously fell short and others, although new and beautiful, I was concerned lacked in staff experience. There was only one that I visited several times. This became the only one where I could visualize my husband living. My husband has now been at Grand Brook Memory Care of McKinney for two months. Although there was an adjustment period of several weeks, my husband is now settled in and happy. He is involved with activities that include new resident friends as well as the staff who are very engaged with him. I am so happy and pleased that my husband is at Grand Brook Memory Care Of McKinney and they allow him to be the best he can be even as the disease progresses. Thankful wife.

My wife has suffered with memory loss for over five years, I finally realized I could not provide the care my wife needed at home. After visiting numerous facilities in McKinney my daughters and I chose a facility which provided residents with both assisted living and memory care support. After a few months we decided it was better to move my wife to a facility that was dedicated to memory care only. A dear friend of ours recommended we visit Grand Brook of McKinney. From the first visit Grand Brook of McKinney felt like home. The staff is so very caring and considerate and the care givers are dedicated and wonderful. The facility is decorated beautifully and truly feels like a home. The apartments are warm and cozy, the dining rooms are set up to accommodate any residents help needs, the outdoor areas and the two big tv rooms provide wonderful places to relax. My wife always has a closet full of clean clothes and the food is wonderful. Two other distinctions that make Grand Brook stand out from other facilities are the full time RN that has an office in the facility and the full time Life Engagement Manager (and assistant) that provides activities all day long for the residents. Grand Brook McKinney is a wonderful place. A standout among memory care facilities.

Grand Brook Memory Care is run by compassionate and caring professionals. They took good care of my Mom and had a listening ear for what the family wanted. Thank you to Grand Brook..

Recently I was tasked with finding memory care for my mom in the McKinney area. I visited her often in her previous location, a well respected facility in Tyler. I've experienced whats available in memory care. I chose Grand Brook based on a favorable first impression, my sons recommendation, the on site medical professional, and price. I was lucky. Grand Brook is much more. A smallish community, they gather in a common area each morning and afternoon to take part in planned activities. Professionals are on staff to plan and direct these activities. Each patient participates according to their capabilities and although their memory and mental facilities are gone, they are still engaged, living life and relatively happy. The food is good and they eat together. Aid is provided when needed. Personal interaction is encourage but appropriately monitored. The onsite medical professional knows the status and medical needs of all the patients and contacts the families directly when needed. Other medical professionals (dentists, etc) are called in on a regular basis and their services are offered if desired. The care staff is patient and attentive. The environment is clean and safe. The patients are well groomed, clean, and safe. If there are individual patient needs, the care staff does their best to ensure those needs are met. Schedules are maintained so that patient care is reliable and consistent, not arbitrary. Lastly the administrative staff takes an active part in the care of the patients. They know all the patients and their needs. They know the patients families and their desires and goals. They actively assist the care staff in day to day operation of the facility. Its personal to them and they make every effort to meet the needs of their patients and families.

Excellent care for my Mom! She has been there for a year and a half! She had been in 3 other places before that! The upgrade in the nurse has been such a blessing! And the caregivers really do care! Thank you God!

My mother has been a resident at Grand Brook Memory Care for over a year. As we approach the end of her life, I continue to experience the professional, yet compassionate care given by both the management and staff of this facility. As a nurse, I have high standards for how I believe care should be delivered. On many occasions, I have sat and watched how staff members interacted with my mother as well as with other residents. Each time, they have been patient, gentle and kind – even in occasionally challenging situations. Management has a hands-on approach and they are actively involved in each patient’s plan of care, routinely communicating with family members to insure the highest quality of care. Staff members can be taught skills, but an innate sense of caring and compassion for those for which they care is entirely different. As I stay at my mother’s bedside, different staff members who have cared for her come in to visit. Each morning, one special staff member brings me coffee because she knows I am “a coffee person”. Today, two precious staff members brought a snack tray to the room to make sure I had something to eat. Last night, another thoughtful staff member was concerned I would not get dinner and she brought me a meal. These gestures are not learned skills. These are the heart-felt acts of people who truly care. I cannot say enough good things about Grand Brook, nor can I imagine my mother receiving better care anywhere. I have been blessed to be part of the Grand Brook community and I highly recommend this facility to those who are hoping to find a memory care facility with the old fashioned family-centered values.

I have observed the staff on many occasions and find them to be gentle, patient, and caring. They call the residents by name and encourage them to be all they can be. They appear to make every effort to meet the residents' individual needs. The facility is clean and well kept. Special holidays and birthdays are observed and the group seems to enjoy them very much. Grand Brook is a relatively small facility and lends itself to the very attentive nature of the staff.
