"I recently moved from Virginia to Brookdale Southside. I can't even begin to say enough wonderful things about this community. Every single person has been so friendly, helpful, respectful, knowledgeable and just plain amazing. As I handled all aspects of the move on my own (with the love and support of my family) I could not have completed this move as quickly or as painlessly without Victoria, Karen, C.C. and so many others who welcomed me even before I actually made it down here. I absolutely love it here! The campus is beautiful, my apartment is all updated and I have plenty of room. Honestly, I have found the food to be really good and I am a very picky eater. Gretchen, et al, at the front desk have also been such a help and so patient with me. It's easy to keep busy and make new friends. Anyone who is thinking of taking a leap to a senior living campus, please check out Brookdale Southside. You won't be disappointed. God Bless Y'All" - Jeannie…
