Brookdale Wake Forest is a senior living community that gives care to adults aged 55 and over, offering different types of support like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and respite care, so you see people can find what help they need as their health changes. This community was built for the needs of seniors, with one-story buildings that help folks with limited mobility get around easier, and you'll find both private rooms and semi-private rooms for people to choose from, all with bathrooms and access to indoor and outdoor common areas where residents can eat, relax, or join in group activities.
The memory care area is made for residents with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, with security features like a locked property and wearable bracelets that set off alarms if someone tries to wander off, and there's staff trained to support residents who might have strong behavioral symptoms or who tend to exit-seek, even when some behaviors might be more challenging. Nurses and other staff are around day and night, with a doctor always on call, making sure help is ready for any personal needs, accidents, or health changes, and they'll update care plans as needed to fit what residents might start needing as time goes on-whether it's extra reminders to use the restroom, help with bathing or dressing, or even using lifts for transfers when someone can't get up safely on their own.
Residents get diabetic care with blood sugar checks and insulin shots if needed, and there's incontinence care including regular reminders, and even behavioral support services right on site for those who need more specialized attention from trained professionals. People living at Brookdale Wake Forest can keep pets like cats and dogs, with pet care available, and there's also lots of activities planned out by a full-time activity director, with things like karaoke, Wii bowling, gardening, brain fitness, outdoor walks, yoga, and even community service for residents who enjoy giving back or staying busy.
Meals are served restaurant-style three times a day, with low sodium and low sugar choices, plus room for special diets, and they welcome guests for meals at set times. The community gives rides to appointments or shopping, and residents who drive can park their own cars. You'll find Wi-Fi/high-speed internet and quiet spaces for reading, but also all kinds of social events, lectures, group outings, holiday celebrations, and religious services when people want that.
Brookdale Wake Forest has a team that includes a Business Development Director, Sales Manager, Sales and Marketing Director, and the previous Ex-Director Wake Forest, and their staff works with families to figure out the right care and make sure everyone understands costs and planning, sharing resources like glossaries and tips for older adults or caregivers. You'll see the place works closely with doctors and nurses for health checks, screenings, and immunizations, and their Brookdale HealthPlus® Community program means they're ready to help with long-term conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure when needed.
Most of all, people at Brookdale Wake Forest can stay in one community as health needs change, with a secure, supportive environment for those with memory loss, ongoing physical care for those who need help with daily tasks, and chances for independent seniors to keep their lives active and social for as long as possible.
