Southbrook Retirement Residence
Our Perspective
Southbrook is the right place for seniors who want to live in an active, involved community of peers. This home is exceptionally good at welcoming those who are skeptical about moving into seniors' care (trial stays are welcome, and staff is very warm). If making your own meals and doing your own housework has become tiresome, take Southbrook for a test.
This spacious, established, elegant retirement community offers abundant luxury but never at the expense of its dedicated focus to excellent care. Southbrook inspires families and seniors to offer effusive praise that speaks not only about the exceptional facilities but more so about the caring staff. Families single out individuals on staff who go out of their way to offer exceptional personal care to residents here.
One of many standout aspects of this home is the versatility of care and stay options possible. Care ranges from independent living (ideal for seniors who want to rid themselves of common chores like housekeeping and meal preparation) to memory care, for those in the middle to later stages of dementia. Southbrook allows private home care, guest stays and respite care stays.

Stephen, family member
"[My grandmother] struggled with having to make meals and do housework ... [everyone] made for a very welcoming visit and she has now been moved into a new room full time ... Having everything very close is a benefit of this 'Lodge' ... . She loves it here now. Take a trial and see if you like it!"
Debbie, family member
"My mother has been [here] for four years. It was a big change for her ... but with the warm welcome and all the help she received, she soon felt at home. The past four years have been a very good experience. [We know she] is in caring hands.
