Brookdale Panama City
5.0
The staff at Brookdale was very kind and took care of our grandmother until the end.
During her time there she enjoyed the meals and friends she did make.
The nurses were very helpful. We always felt like we could ask them questions
Superior Residences of Panama City Beach
5.0
I definitely recommend it as I do all the time and tell people to go there. They don't clean under the beds too good and seemed to lose some of her clothes but other than that we are absolutely fine with the place and we loved the people.
