There is also a small amusement park geared to the younger set.

A Wonderful Selection

We understand that every senior has a unique journey. We work to get to know every resident in both our assisted living and memory care communities to ensure they have the care they need to live a healthy, happy life.

Brookdale Kettleman Lane is a pleasant Alzheimer’s care community comprised of four private units, and 36 friendship suites. Our spacious apartments are light and airy with some offering carpet and others wood/vinyl flooring.

All of our apartments have private bathrooms and a 24-hour emergency response system. Our beautiful, one level building provides a home-like atmosphere for our residents. Residents can relax in one of our two cozy living rooms in front of the fireplace, or enjoying television with friends.

Our secured courtyard is beautifully landscaped with pathways, flower beds, gazebos and benches. Everything is done for a reason but most especially to give residents a sense of freedom and independence, all within a safe environment over which our staff keeps careful watch.
