The Brennity at Melbourne Senior Living

The Brennity at Melbourne Senior Living sits in Melbourne, Florida, and gives people aged 55 and up several types of care, with independent living, assisted living, and memory care options all on one campus, and you'll find it has pretty much everything you'd expect plus some extras people might enjoy, like cottages with garages and laundry rooms, apartments, and villas with a pond view, even screened-in porches where you can sit outside while staying out of the sun. There's a big focus on letting people make their own choices and keep their independence, with daily help and care plans that match each person's needs, and the memory care program pays special attention to folks with Alzheimer's or dementia-there's always fully trained staff around who know how to help. Residents can swim in a big indoor pool with a beach mural and accessibility features, soak in a hot tub, lounge in outdoor pool areas with crystal-clear water and a basketball hoop, or head to the fitness center full of equipment, and every space-like den areas with daybeds, living rooms with hardwood floors, a modern kitchen with granite countertops, or the bright yellow two-story main building-looks designed with seniors' comfort and safety in mind, since you'll spot things like walk-in showers with grab bars. The Brennity offers meals through a chef-led program in a restaurant-style dining room with chandeliers and a grand piano, or enjoy snacks in a cozy refreshment area with bar stools. You'll find activity spaces all over: a game room with shuffleboard and leather seating, a computer room for emails or games, and a common area with a TV and bar for social times. The community also has a salon and beautician onsite, devotional services, social gatherings, and both on and offsite trips, run by their own Activities Director, and there's scheduled transportation for errands or doctor visits. For people who need more support, the assisted living and memory care wings have private apartments and communal spaces, with programs to focus on keeping minds active and safe, and there's a Resident Council to help shape the daily life of the place. With lawns, landscaping, pet park, a dining room, and covered porches, it's set up for easy walks and outdoor time. The Brennity uses a continuing care retirement community model, so if your needs change, you won't have to move far, and with daily housekeeping, maintenance, and support, folks here seem to settle in, enjoy meals, activities, and company, and still have a lot of choice about how they spend their days.
