We lost my dad after a very short illness and mom needed to go assisted living as she couldnt take care of the home on her own. Mom had to give away their dog because she wouldve barked way too much and would disturb the other residents and she had to leave her home of 40+ years. I contacted Lisa at Stonebrook and she gave us a virtual tour then later came over to moms house to answer any questions (after 5 pm). Mom immediately felt relaxed in her presence and has since saidthat Lisa is like family to her. Thats an awful lot of change for a 91 yr old and the staff check on her often (including Lisa) to see how shes doing and I feel very confident that they are taking all the precautions to keep COVID out of their facility. My mom has struggled to get used to living in a 1 bdrm apt and life in assisted living but shes starting to joke and laugh again and I credit Lisa and the Stonebrook staff for helping her feel at home. I think the hardest part has been not being allowed to have visitors right now but she can be taken out for a visit.. Anytime I need to ask something Lisa is always available and answers or takes care of the issue right away. This is a huge comfort for me as I live in Mikwaukee. I really believe we picked the right place for Mom!!
Our dad, Dean McCreight was lucky enough to join the Brookstone family on September 18th. He is adjusting very well and happy to see so many residents and members of the staff that he knows. Everyone has been so good to Dad. My sister Pam and myself along with Dad toured Brookstone in July and were welcomed with open arms. Lisa Wessels and Chris DeFrieze have been so helpful in so many ways getting Dad adjusted to his new surroundings. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful facility in our community. I can speak for our entire family that we are giving Brookstone a 5 star PLUS rating. Thanks again!

2020-12-30ONLY because of distance from their family and friends, my in-laws did not choose Brookstone. But, during the time of gathering information, learning the processes, and researching facilities, Lisa was so insightful and helpful. She continued to call to ask how our search was going and to offer answers and assistance. Even after I explained I thought the location was too far away, Lisa still reached out to me, and encouraged me to do the same, to ensure I had all the information and resources I needed. Her knowledge was unlimited, and had my in-laws chosen Brookstone, I am sure it would have been an excellent decision.

2020-08-18My mom is new to Brookstone having just moved in yesterday. I cannot say enough about the welcome she received when she got here. From the sign at the front door welcoming her to a lot of the staff stopping by her room to introduce themselves and say hello. She felt right at home immediately. I know that Brookstone has been the absolute right move for her.

2019-09-23We cant praise Brookstone enough. Unlike larger facilities where people do not know each other, Brookstone is a true community where friends abound. It becomes a true home.Staff is caring, efficient, knowledgeable and always smiling. They know their residents and treat them with respect and love. A special shout out to Beth Springer, Activities Director, who planned Moms 105 birthday celebration, to caring Resident Nurse Sue Mullen and to Aides Janet and Kim who do everything with humor and a smile. All the staff have made Brookstone a home, a good place to be. Jackie Mcgaughy and Scott Culp
