How to evaluate Brookdale Ann Arbor

Staffing and transparency are the most important signals at any licensed community. Find out the awake-overnight staffing level, the caregiver turnover, and how long the administrator has been in place. Get an itemized, all-in monthly rate tied to your parent's specific care level, and ask what pushes a resident into a higher-cost care tier. Visit more than once, unannounced, and check the license and inspection record with LARA via the Adult Foster Care & Homes for the Aged licensing search.
