Fewer Chores, More Adventures

In an upscale gated community in Homewood, just south of downtown Birmingham, our campus is luxury retirement living at its best. Our campus is located right across the street from the Shades Valley Greenway along scenic Shades Creek, as well as Samford University. Plus, you’ll have easy access to some of Birmingham’s best shops and restaurants, including the Summit, Crestline and Mountain Brook Villages, right here in our neighborhood.

Our campus is all about supporting your independent lifestyle where you can live your best life. We’ll take care of the chores so you can focus on the fun! Do you want to practice your golf swing? Check out our putting green. Or start your morning with coffee on the patio and then head to the fitness center for a yoga class or a walk on the greenway. Or maybe you want to join a card game in the activity room. What are you waiting for? You’ve earned this worry-free lifestyle where you can do more of what you love to do.

Let someone else worry about the dishes and enjoy our dining program with its healthy and delicious menu choices. Our dining program is all about you, and we consider your feedback, your menu suggestions and your favorite recipes. And of course, in a city known for its amazing food scene, our community would have a talented and experienced culinary team to serve up a memorable dining experience at each meal.

At Brookdale University Park, you have so many possibilities for how to add more to your day. If you want to take a yoga class in the morning, followed by a game of canasta, you can. In the evening, join friends for happy hour followed by a movie night with popcorn. What about bingo or the walking club? Or live music performances? It’s your choice.

One Campus—Multiple Care Options

By definition, a CCRC, or continuing care retirement community, is a senior living community that provides multiple levels of care at one community. This means you probably won’t have to change communities, even if you or your spouse need more care later. And we’re a rental CCRC. That means you’ll pay a monthly rental fee, plus monthly fees based on the level of care and services you need.

With our continuum of care options, you'll be prepared with the care you might need down the road, all in one location. From skilled nursing care or extra management of your activities of daily living, to Alzheimer's and dementia care for residents with early to early-moderate stages of dementia—we have services for a wide range of needs. 

Independent living is ideal for seniors who want to trade in the worries of home ownership for the true comforts of home. You'll have apartment options to suit your style and plenty of opportunities to socialize.

Assisted living provides a redefined independence through assistance and services like medication management and housekeeping. Your wellness is supported through collaborative care partnerships, and our staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our memory care program is rooted in a person-centered approach that preserves identity and sense of self. Our secure communities provide a daily path of engagement that allows residents to flourish, even with advanced expressions of dementia.

Our skilled nursing communities are here to help you throughout your journey to recovery. Whether you need a long-term stay or short term rehabilitation, we provide around-the-clock licensed nursing care in a supportive environment.
