The Colonnade at Carrollwood

As soon as we walked in the front door we were warmly greeted for our tour. My grandmother was looking at options of assisted living. We visited several and felt like The Colonnade at Carrollwood would have been the perfect fit for her needs. The staff was friendly, went above and beyond to answer all of our questions, and followed up. The residents seemed very happy during our tour and the it was very clean. The apartment size was perfect. The activities offered would keep anyone busy all week long. At the last moment before making our decision a family member invited my grandmother to move in out of state. Otherwise, The Colonnade at Carrollwood would have been her choice! Thank you to all the staff for their patience, friendliness, and compassion.

My therapy dog and I volunteer here weekly. The residents are well cared for, active and happy. Staff are kind and seem to genuinely enjoy their work. I would absolutely feel comfortable having a family member here.

My grandma's apartment because it's like home and I can tell she loves it. She loves activities such as bingo, bowling and poker. The staff always have a smile on their face. I am happy she is happy. Thank You Brookdale.

My mother entered Brookdale Carrollwood in early December after suffering a mini-stroke. She needed 24/7 care. The staff at Brookdale attended to her needs with professionalism and genuine care. Knowing she was a new resident, the night staff regularly checked in on her insuring her comfort. I witnessed that fact after arriving at 7:00am on her 2nd day to take her to a 9:00am doctor appointment.

Initially, my mother was not communicating, nor eating much. When she didn't show up for meals the staff followed up every time and would even bring a tray of food to her room. As I visited each week, the staff kept me updated on her progress. She opened up more with the other residents and attended meals in the dining room. Her transformation was nothing short of amazing. And at the age of 89, she even had a little more pep in her step without needing a cane or walker!

Thank you Brookdale for ALL that you do!
