Brookdale Lake Charles sits on landscaped grounds with a courtyard, offering different types of care like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even home care for folks who want to stay at home but need some help. The place keeps things simple with all their apartments on one level for easy access, and you'll see things like wheelchair-accessible showers and pet-friendly rooms, so if someone has a small dog or cat, they're welcome. Staff stay on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ready to help with emergencies, and they're trained to assist with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, housekeeping, and making sure medication gets taken on time. There's memory care too, with special help for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they offer gentle reminders and programs meant to keep folks engaged.
The community cares about keeping residents social and active, so there's always something to do, with activities both onsite and offsite-things like arts and crafts with classes such as Flex Your Brain and crafting, onsite devotional services, family meals and get-togethers, and outings with transportation provided; sometimes it's complimentary and other times it's at cost, and there's parking for those who drive. They have indoor and outdoor common areas, walking paths, a residents lounge, and a dedicated game room for cards or board games. Meals come in different varieties, including vegetarian options, and there's restaurant-style dining, plus a beautician and barber shop right on the grounds.
Brookdale Lake Charles offers a variety of care so residents can age in place, with respite care and hospice services available when the time comes, and they focus on compassion, treating folks with kindness and respect, tailoring care plans, and working closely with families and healthcare providers. Their partnership with Facebook means there are social media-related services, and there's high-speed Wi-Fi throughout for those who like to stay connected or keep up with friends. The community supports independent seniors who want maintenance-free living, and there are skilled nursing services for those who need more medical care. Basic utilities and maintenance are part of the package, the grounds are handicap accessible, plus each apartment has emergency call systems, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms.
Pets are part of life here, and they're part of the environment, too. They have signature programs and plenty of chances for residents to socialize, learn, or just relax in the outdoor courtyard. Brookdale Lake Charles aims to help people age well and live well, always keeping an eye on safety and comfort.
