Brookside Extended Care

Here for those who require more—and deserve everything.

Brookside Extended Care is a home for individuals with significant medical and developmental needs, but more than that, it’s a place where people are genuinely known and cared for. We work with individuals who require a high level of support, and we approach every interaction with patience, presence, and respect. 

As we get to know each person, we learn how they communicate, what brings them comfort, and which routines help them feel safe and settled. These details shape everything we do. Our approach is steady, responsive, and rooted in the trusting relationships built between residents and our team. We believe that support is more than just meeting needs—it’s about creating a space where people feel understood and valued. Every member of our team shows up with intention and treats each individual with thoughtfulness and heart. 

Fostering Ability. Supporting Growth.

What Families and Care Teams Say About Brookside

  • "Our experience with Brookside and the staff has been a godsend for our son. They helped him both reach and exceed health and mental goals with personal care and most of all, love. We not only have seen this for our son, but you see this when you are there with other residents. I would highly recommend Brookside for your family member that needs that extra support in order for you to have that peace of mind. Thank you, Brookside, for being there for us."

  • "My child has been a resident at Brookside for fifteen years. Any parent with a child who is medically fragile knows what a heart-wrenching decision it is to place them in a facility. Rest assured, Brookside is far more than that--they go above and beyond to make it home for the residents. We have truly gained a second family. I would be happy to speak with anyone who is considering placing their loved one at Brookside."

    -Renee D.

  • "As a child welfare placement supervisor, I had a request for placement of a youth with multiple medical needs. I placed many calls to facilities, searching for the right placement for our youth. Typically, I prefer to visit a site prior to placement, but that wasn't possible with this one. I made a decision based on the information gathered from Brookside staff, and I have been nothing but pleased. The word 'family' is used frequently, and the attention to residents illustrates this clearly. "

    -Lynn S.

  • "I have visited a resident at Brookside for many years. I have always appreciated the compassion and care demonstrated by the staff toward the residents. Residents are acknowledged by name anytime staff interact with them, from seeing them in the hallway to entering their room to offer care. The facility and grounds are welcoming and well-maintained. I would especially like to recognize their case management team. Their team responds to communications as quickly and thoroughly as possible. Overall, I have been extremely pleased with the care offered to residents at Brookside and would highly recommend the facility to anyone."

    -Jill Z.

  • "We are grateful of the excellent service and support that Brookside provides. They have various procedures in place to keep the residents safe, clean, and healthy. It's so heartwarming how the nursing and caretaker staff always do their best to meet the needs of the residents, respect them and pour their love and care onto them. It's such a blessing that many of the nursing team have worked at Brookside for over twenty years. Their commitment is above and beyond!"

    -Jenny H.

  • I came out to photograph a population of incredible individuals, but what I saw went so far beyond what I expected. From the second I walked through the doors, you could feel the love in this place. There's this unspoken rhythm between the staff and the residents, it's not just care, it's connection. They know these individuals like the back of their hands. It felt like walking into a big, extended family where everyone belongs, and everyone is seen. While here, I spent time observing the therapy, nursing, case management team and floor staff. Watching them interact with the kids and adults, it was clear how deeply they care. It shows in everything they do.
