Brookdale Concord Parkway sits near Charlotte in Concord, North Carolina, and gives seniors a place to live with different levels of care under one roof, so if you just want maintenance-free living for those over 55, you can do that, but if you need more support, they have assisted living with help for personal care, laundry, meals, and even help with activities like bathing and getting dressed, along with independent living and skilled nursing for more serious health needs, and they also have memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia, including a closely watched environment, special brain games, gentle daily routines, and group walks for those who need it. There's staff available day and night, all week long, so residents always have someone nearby if something unexpected happens, and they work from care plans made for each person based on what they need and want.
The building and grounds keep seniors in mind with wheelchair accessible showers, full tubs to help those with mobility needs, and there are landscaped paths you can stroll along, even with a pet, and lots of big windows make the bedrooms and common spaces bright and neighborly, where people can relax, read, or watch TV in roomy sitting areas. The dining rooms are simple and well-lit, with tables that have light green linens, and meals come on colorful plates along with snacks easy to eat between meals, plus vegetarian choices for anyone who wants them. There's an on-site beauty salon, and a parlor for folks who enjoy ice cream in the afternoon. For getting around, residents get to use their own parking spaces or take the free transportation to shop, join offsite activities, or go to devotional services held off the property. You'll also find a calendar of group activities, both fun and helpful, from educational programs to games and outings, and there's adult day care, too, if you only need the place for a short while during the day.
Memory care residents have dedicated support with an environment set up for safety and mental engagement, and there's counseling available by psychiatrists and psychoanalysts for those who need help through tough times. Hospice and rehab services are also on hand for people who have changes in their health needs, and the whole place gets regular checks to stay current on state licensing. The living options include studio units between 192 and 290 square feet, set up with combined living and sleeping areas and closet space, so it's manageable for older adults, and there are different floor plans for different preferences. The campus feels peaceful, a little like a country estate with columns at the entrance and nicely decorated welcome areas, and there's a sense that people can be as active or as quiet as they like, with the aim to keep life happy, safe, and a little easier. The community has received the Best of Senior Living Award and high marks from residents and families, and as part of Brookdale Senior Living, it draws on a long record of caring for seniors in many places. Brookdale Concord Parkway stands out for giving seniors choices about how they want to live, a pet-friendly environment, and just enough help to let people keep their independence for as long as possible.
