Brookdale Hillsborough sits over at 600 Auten Road and provides several types of care for older adults, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, continuing care retirement communities, and at-home care services, so people can stay if they need more help as they age. Residents find a warm, homey environment as they walk in, with a large fireplace and a covered entryway, and there's a nice porch for sitting outside too. The staff includes physicians, skilled nursing professionals, and caregivers trained in specialized programs like Clare Bridge and Solace, which are both for people living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias.
This place gives help with managing medications, dressing, and bathing for those who need it, and for those living mostly on their own, there are independent living options with less daily help, but still with included housekeeping, nutritious meals, utilities, and maintenance. People can use wheelchair-accessible showers and full tubs, and anyone can take part in various on-site and off-site activities to keep social, learn, or find entertainment. There's a theater for movies, a bistro with coffee and tea, elegant dining rooms decorated with chandeliers, and a well-stocked library with cozy chairs, plus several lounges set up for conversations or relaxing by a fireplace.
Residents can enjoy a choice of studio apartments, and outdoor patios with shaded tables are available for fresh air. The facility is pet-friendly, so people can bring pets with them. Meals are served every day with special dining programs, including options for vegetarians, and there's a salon for hair care and beauty needs. Housekeeping and maintenance are part of the package, along with resident parking and free transportation for errands and trips. Health and safety don't get overlooked, since there are staff members on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in case any emergencies come up, and hospice and respite care are both available as well.
Memory care programs give personalized care in a secure environment, and staff use reminiscence therapy and sensory-based programming like snoezelen for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia. Residents have access to devotion services, with support for spiritual needs both at the facility and at nearby locations. There are outdoor walking paths, and common areas designed for either group gatherings or quiet moments alone. Activities, events, and Brookdale signature programs aim to keep people involved, engaged, and as independent as possible while making sure help is always nearby. Residents and their families note that the nursing and caregiving staff tend to be attentive, kind, and quick to respond. The community stays small enough that everyone is known, making it easier for staff to offer individualized help based on what each resident needs or prefers. Meals are known for using good ingredients and being balanced for health as well as taste. The focus all around is to meet the needs of people aged 55 and over, making daily life easier, safer, and more social, while also being ready for changing care needs.
