Brentwood at LaPorte is a senior living community that cares for adults over 55 and provides several levels of support, from independent living to assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care. The campus has buildings with unique exteriors and secure entryways meant for residents and visitors, and inside there are apartments in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans, all with large windows for natural light, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and individual heating and cooling. People living here use indoor and outdoor sitting areas, fireplaces, living rooms, a TV lounge, meeting rooms, a library, a piano, and a beauty salon. Dining is restaurant-style with quick service, snacks and drinks in a cafe or bistro, private dining rooms, and menus with gluten-free, low sodium, and low sugar options, and people can request room service too.
There's an enclosed courtyard, backyard garden beds, raised gardens for people who like to plant flowers or vegetables, and outdoor spots where residents can sit with friends or family. The community has plenty of activities like stretching and Tai Chi classes, art workshops, music, gardening clubs, Wii bowling, games like trivia, trips off-campus, community service opportunities, pet visits, and educational lectures, so everyone can find something they enjoy. Residents can attend devotional and religious services onsite or off property, and there's a support group for those who want it.
Memory care is a big part of Brentwood at LaPorte, with the "Along the Journey" memory care neighborhood, and the building is purpose-built for adults with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, using bracelets and computers that alert staff if a resident who's at risk tries to leave or wander into unsafe areas. There are specially trained staff, including nurses and a doctor on call, and they help residents who have major behavioral needs, including aggression, confusion, or wandering. The team provides reminders and help with medication, manages diabetes and incontinence care, and helps with all activities of daily living, whether someone needs a little or a lot of help.
Brentwood at LaPorte also has a home care agency onsite for companionship and non-medical services, and staff coordinate care plans with residents' families and healthcare providers. There's hospice care, respite care for short stays or recovery from illness, and aging in place for people whose needs change as they get older. People living here don't have to worry about cleaning or laundry, because those services are included, and there's free cable TV, high-speed internet, computer rooms, parking for residents, and scheduled transportation for doctor visits, shopping, or community outings. Safety is a big focus, so staff are onsite 24/7 and the community is fully accessible for wheelchairs.
Brentwood at LaPorte aims to help seniors maintain social connections, independence, and comfort as they age, with progressive levels of care available on one campus so people can stay in familiar surroundings even if their needs change.
