Brookdale Charlotte East has a calm, peaceful setting with paved patios, birdhouses in the gardens, and rocking chairs shaded by umbrellas, so folks can sit outside and enjoy the weather, and inside the place has sunlit, spacious common rooms that remind you of a resort, from the big foyer with armchairs and flowers, to the activity rooms with a piano and a large TV, and the elegant dining rooms have tables set with chandeliers overhead. Residents can choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, and many units have private patios or balconies you can sit out on; pets are welcome here too. There's a real focus on comfort and safety-it's a gated community, and the care team stays on duty 24/7 to help with emergencies or daily needs like dressing, bathing, or taking medicine, and a nurse oversees care plans for each person, helping keep up with things like diabetes or high blood pressure.
The community covers lots of different care options, whether someone wants to live independently or needs more hands-on help with daily life, and for folks living with memory concerns like Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, there are dedicated areas that aim to reduce confusion and help prevent wandering, and for higher care needs, there's skilled nursing and rehab on-site too. The Brookdale HealthPlus® program helps keep an eye on wellness, regular checkups, and health screenings, and residents get preventative services like immunizations as needed. Apartments and the building are easy to get around in if you use a wheelchair, and high-speed internet gives folks a way to stay in touch or stream shows, while scheduled group transportation helps people get to appointments or enjoy outings.
Residents can spend their day at fitness classes, use physical therapy equipment in the fitness center, or join in on arts, devotional services, or group games in activity rooms, and there's a steady calendar of activities meant to keep people active in body and mind, with both on-site and off-site religious services for a range of faiths and a visiting chaplain. Meals are served restaurant-style three times a day and aim to be nutritious and tasty, and if you want, they also offer beautician services and hospice care. The community offers tours if folks want to visit and see daily life, and everything here, from resident parking to shaded outdoor courtyards, tries to make things easy and comfortable for those 55 and older, with plenty of events and personal touches to help people feel at home.
