Pets are allowed, and the community has clean common spaces with comfortable chairs, fireplaces, and a staircase, a well-lit dining room with framed artwork, a library with bookshelves and windows, and a porch and courtyard with wicker seating, lush plants, and umbrellas for shade.
The staff can help with personal needs like grooming, and they're there to help with medication and other daily tasks. Brookdale Portage offers transportation for trips to appointments or errands, and residents don't have to worry about cooking, cleaning, or driving because those chores are handled by staff so there's more free time for relaxing or joining in activities.
