Brookdale Montrose sits in Akron, Ohio, as a two-story senior living community with many living space choices like studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and den apartments; the rooms look home-like, with queen-sized beds, bedside tables, lamps, floral comforters, framed artwork, and living rooms have comfortable seating, fireplaces, grand pianos, elegant bookcases, and large windows for sunlight, while dining rooms use brown linens, teal chairs, warm wood tones, and pleasant decor to create a relaxed place for meals. Residents can use a private dining room, a fitness center with NuStep trainers and other equipment, cozy common rooms, a cafe, a library, a billiards lounge, a beauty salon, a therapy room, and a movie theater, and there's a walking path outside through nicely landscaped grounds as well as butterfly and hummingbird gardens and an outdoor patio garden that gives everyone a chance to be outside when the weather allows. The building is pet-friendly and has rooms and amenities that meet handicap access needs, plus there's Wi-Fi for residents' use. Choices for living include independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so seniors with many needs find a place there, whether they want no help or need daily assistance, and there's a secure memory care setting with predictable routines, special features for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and consistent staff for comfort and safety.
Friendly, trained staff are there day and night, every day of the week, to help with emergencies or daily tasks, offer physical therapy, home health care, and help with medicine, and the care teams create plans tailored to each resident's needs, even supporting those with chronic health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart failure. Brookdale Montrose is part of the Brookdale HealthPlus® Community program, so there's an RN Care Manager on-site for health coordination, regular wellness visits, immunizations, and screenings-all to help keep seniors healthy and avoid unnecessary hospital visits. The community is a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), so residents can move between independent living, assisted living, nursing care, memory care, and at-home care as their needs change, without leaving their home and friends.
Meals are cooked restaurant-style, with healthy options, special diets for those who need them, and even guest meal features and room service when someone wants extra privacy or can't join others in the dining room. There's a busy calendar with social, educational, and entertainment events, on- and off-site trips, devotional services, arts and crafts, exercise programs, games, and musical events for fun and learning, plus preventative health and wellness programs. Residents get transportation for appointments or shopping, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, grocery help, and parking for those who still drive, and there's a front desk and on-site care management to help with any questions or needs.
Pets are welcome, and there's plenty of inviting space for visiting with family and friends or joining the community in group activities, and the facility places importance on building real bonds with both residents and their families, encouraging everyone to age well and live well, with enough support to let seniors stay as independent as possible, and familiar faces help people feel at home through every stage of care.
