Some reviewers praise the facility for its excellent services, caring and professional staff, and the warm, welcoming environment it provides for its residents. Notable staff members such as Suzanne, Mark, Breanne, Darlene, Dale, and Susan receive special mentions for their dedication and hard work.

Additionally, the facility's pet-friendly policy and its efforts to accommodate residents with special needs or behaviors are commended.

    However, some reviews point out areas needing attention. Concerns are raised about the cleanliness of private rooms, the quality of food, especially the evening meal, and the level of care, which some find rushed due to apparent understaffing.

Furthermore, a lack of communication with families regarding their loved ones' care and issues is mentioned as a drawback.

    Overall, while Brookdale East Tucson is praised for its staff's dedication, the caring environment, and the range of activities offered, feedback suggests room for improvement in cleanliness, food quality, staffing levels, cost justification, and communication with families.
