We have had Mom at Morada for a few months. From the beginning the staff has been helpful and kind. The ambience really suits my mother, and my sisters and I are pleased with our choice of assisted living for her.

5 / 5.0

The staff members at Brookdale Ennis community are awesome! the staff has been so kind and loving to my dad. And he is not the most lovable person around at this time in his life! Have bent over backwards to help him and me.

5 / 5.0

I couldn't ask for better care. I was so grateful for their care top to bottom I bought flowers and a huge box of cookies from a bakery for the whole staff. The facility is so clean and feels more like a hotel.
