My mom recently moved here and is very happy. Her move in was smooth. She enjoys the activities. The community is good. I have to give a shout out to Jose the main chef who is fantastic and makes sure everyone is taken care of. Overall glad we chose Pegasus preserve West U.

Providing a percussion wellness class for the senior community at Brookdale West University was a meaningful experience. The session focused on gentle drumstick exercises, using familiar oldies tracks to stimulate memory, movement, and connection through sound. We explored basic rudiments in a relaxed way, and I also drew from my Brazilian percussion background—especially repique and caixa technique—to introduce rhythm in a way that felt engaging but still comfortable for everyone present.

Providing a percussion wellness class for the senior community at Brookdale West University was a meaningful experience. The session focused on gentle drumstick exercises, using familiar oldies tracks to stimulate memory, movement, and connection through sound. We explored basic rudiments in a relaxed way, and I also drew from my Brazilian percussion background—especially repique and caixa technique—to introduce rhythm in a way that felt engaging but still comfortable for everyone present. What mattered most was creating a space where each participant felt at ease, supported, and mindful of their own wellbeing while making music together. Seeing the smiles, the subtle movements of hands keeping time, and the shared sense of rhythm in the room was a powerful reminder that percussion can be both expressive and restorative at any stage of life. I’m grateful to Brookdale Senior Living for welcoming this kind of musical wellness into their community and for valuing the role that rhythm can play in care, memory, and human connection. A huge shout out to Hope Stone for giving me the opportunity.

I moved in and the first staff I met were wonderful. Then within 8 months there was new staff and they were very rude and no courtesy, uncaring. I started to feel very uncomfortable. I lived with black mold in my bathroom ceiling and it took maintenance forever to want to work on the ceiling when I've already gave notice to move out! I was getting sick from breathing the black mold and I had to moved out immediately. I'm a retired military veteran and I can't believe the living conditions I had to deal with.

The caretakers/ nurse staff are really wonderful people. They genuinely care about the residents and work together to make sure their residents’ needs are met!!

As a new resident I have nothing but accolades for Brookdale Wedt University! Its greatest asset, in my opinion, is the ability to provide so many stimulating options to stay healthy and stimulate your brain health! It’s easy to make friends while enjoying your older years!❤️

Well managed facility and beautiful well kept gardens, with staff that is professional, friendly and caring.
