Turning Brook Senior Living Community gives a wide range of care from independent living, assisted living, memory care, and home care to hospice care so residents can get the type of help they need as their needs change, and it's got home health care that's Medicare-certified, plus non-medical home care options for those who just need a hand with things like errands or bathing, and there's even skilled nursing care available, which is good for folks who have more medical needs. You'll see a strong focus on safety with security gates, a 24-hour call system, wander guards or a similar system for memory care residents, and around-the-clock staff who can help with transfers and mobility, and there are indoor areas like a TV room, computer room, and game rooms, along with places for activities, town square walks, or grabbing a snack at the Café or Coffee Shop or using the post office and pharmacy right onsite, so you really don't have to leave for much if you don't want to. The grounds have outdoor walking paths, gardens for watching butterflies and hummingbirds, raised garden beds, patios, and enclosed courtyards, and inside you'll spot meeting and activity rooms, a woodworking shop, a library, an arts and crafts room, and a movie or theater room so there's always something to do, plus Wi-Fi all through the common spaces makes it easier to stay connected. Residents can have dogs or cats as long as they follow certain pet policy weight limits, so you'll see pets around too, which is nice for company.
Turning Brook has staff who can speak a surprising number of languages-like English, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Russian, lots more-so folks from many backgrounds feel comfortable, and dining is flexible with chef-prepared meals, shared or private dining rooms, and menu choices that work for special diets including those for diabetes or allergies, which is important because everyone eats a bit differently. Health care at Turning Brook covers medication management, coordination with outside health providers, diabetic care, incontinence care, high-acuity needs, nurse on staff, and therapy services, and if you're looking for help for a short time, they do offer respite stays for both short-term and long-term care. Houses and apartments here come in many styles, including detached homes, studio and one or two-bedroom apartments, condos, and townhomes, so there's a living space for most needs, and rooms have features that support his or her comfort and convenience.
The place tries to promote independence as much as possible but has help available onsite whenever it's needed, whether that's with daily routines like bathing, dressing, or managing medicines, or with special needs like dementia or memory care, because the staff has experience with Alzheimer's and related issues, and the community is specially designed to keep those residents safe and engaged through supervision and lots of activities. For social life, the activity calendar has things like music, arts, dinner theaters, devotional activities, and even outings off property, and the "Town Square" walkway, lined with benches and streetlights, serves as an easy way to get outside and meet neighbors. It's wheelchair accessible and easy to get around, and transportation is available either complimentary or at cost for errands, shopping, or appointments, plus laundry, cleaning, mail, and pharmacy services are all right there. Residents and families say the place feels warm and supportive, and staff seem genuinely passionate about what they do, focusing on providing a healthy, stable quality of life in a welcoming space that can accommodate many care needs as things change over time.
