"We've been here six years, and I've been thrilled with the level of community involvement we have," said Jeanne Morton, an administrator at Brookfield. "We have a lot of groups come in and participate. It's far and above anything I've ever been involved with, and I've been to a few different places in different states. They show a real commitment to the seniors here."

Dining is a top priority for the staff at Brookfield, and they can accommodate special diets and preferences, as well as gatherings with family during the holidays. Three nutritious meals are served daily.
