What Our Assisted Living Community Can Offer You

Do you wish you had more time in the day for your family, friends or hobbies rather than worrying about an endless to-do list? Or maybe you’ve started to notice you could use a little help getting around. Everyone’s situation is different, but our community is here to help you find quality care, genuine relationships and time to enjoy your retirement.

Here are some ways we can support you throughout your day:

Personal Assistance
We’re here to help you maintain the independence you want with support to meet your needs. We can help with daily tasks like managing medications, bathing and dressing, so you have the confidence to take on each day. You’ll also have peace of mind knowing trained staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to be alerted to an emergency.

Health and Wellness
To help support your health, we meet you where you are with six dimensions of wellness—social, physical, purposeful, intellectual, spiritual and emotional—so you can keep growing. Our B-Fit fitness program is a fun, effective and social exercise experience, and our Brain Fit program is our holistic approach to brain health. You can also share your wisdom and story with others through our My Life Story program.

Lifestyle Services
Our team is here to help live your best life. We can handle the cooking, cleaning and laundry so you can reignite some of your old passions or find new hobbies. Your basic utilities and maintenance are typically included in your monthly service rate, so you’ll even have fewer bills to keep track of. Plus, you’ll have chapel and hair salon right here on campus.

Home-Like Environment
Our community offers spacious, cozy apartments with studio and one-bedroom floor plans. Each apartment features a private bath and large windows to let in abundant natural light. Floor plans feature a kitchenette, too. Outside your private retreat, you can enjoy a cup of coffee on our patio, play cards in the game room or meet with friends in our community living room.

Common Questions About Assisted Living

Assisted living communities are designed for seniors who need a little extra help with activities like managing medication, bathing and dressing. Residents usually have their own apartment that they can decorate as they wish and have access to community amenities like dining programs, social activities and more.

Skilled nursing communities are supportive environments that provide healthcare resources like physical, occupational and speech therapy. At Brookdale, our skilled nursing team provides round-the-clock nursing care seven days a week.

It’s okay if you don’t know which level of care you or your loved one needs. Our assisted living communities can do an assessment to determine the right amount of care for you.

Knowing when the time is right can be a little tricky since everyone’s circumstances are a little different. Generally speaking, assisted living is a great option for seniors who could benefit from assistance with the daily tasks of life, like personal grooming or managing medication. Community life is also ideal for seniors who want to live in a place that provides social activities with people in their same stage of life.

The cost of assisted living varies widely depending on where you live, the type of apartment you choose and the level of care you need. One of the benefits of living at a Brookdale community is that you only pay for the care services you need, which means you can almost always find something that fits within your budget. 

Medicare and other federal programs typically don’t cover the cost of assisted living. You will likely need to pay with personal savings, assets or long-term care insurance.

Some of our assisted living communities have different guidelines, but you are often welcome to bring personal belongings and furnishings to make your new space feel more like home. We always encourage our residents to personalize their apartment so it feels comfortable, inviting and relaxing.

We offer a variety of room sizes and floor plans so you can choose the one that’s right for you. While styles vary between communities, our apartments are designed to feel and function like a home, with kitchens, bathrooms and plenty of light from the windows. Couples can usually live in the same apartment, but it’s wise to check with the community first.

You are not required to have a car to live at one of our communities. We provide scheduled transportation services so you can run errands and make your appointments without dealing with the hassle of driving and parking. However, if you still want to drive, many of our communities allow residents to have cars.

Pets are an important part of the family, which is why our communities are pet-friendly. Be sure to check with your individual community before you arrive in case there are weight or breed restrictions. Explore our Pets page for more information on pet-friendly living.

We try to welcome as many individuals as possible, but our number one priority is a resident’s health. If we believe a senior needs more care than we can provide, we can make suggestions for an alternative care solution.

No problem! We have trained staff members who can help with medication management. If you could benefit from this kind of service, just let the staff at the community know and they can help you out.
