Brookdale Englewood

Brookdale Englewood sits on a single-story campus out in the countryside where you can look out on open views and see some nice gardens, and the building was made so it feels more like a home than a big institution, with wide doors and walk-in showers that help people using wheelchairs, and everything is set up so folks can stay independent as long as possible while getting help as needs change over time. There are options for private or companion suites, and they welcome pets by offering pet-friendly rooms, so anyone who wants to bring along a small dog or cat doesn't have to worry, and the suites can be roomy, too. Meals get cooked fresh every day with nutrition and special diets in mind, and if you want, you can stop by the ice cream parlor for a treat or go over to the whirlpool for a relaxing soak because they like giving people little enjoyments that add up, and the dining program serves up choices, including vegetarian options, in a dining room where the staff get to know what folks like and need for their meals. If you need help with bathing, grooming, medication, or getting to appointments, there are friendly and professional staff on the job all day and night, every day of the week, with emergency pull cords right in the rooms and a 24-hour alert system for safety. Memory care is available for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, offering extra safety features and doors to keep folks secure, plus lots of activities meant to fit where someone's at-like music, games, or simple chats-to keep the mind going as best as possible, and there are individualized plans in place so care fits each resident's needs. For those looking for some fun or company, the community arranges social, educational, and recreational activities and has both quiet spots and group games, as well as on-site beauty and barber services, Wi-Fi, and spots for family visits, since having friends and visitors matters. There's the option to get help with laundry, housekeeping, and even dry-cleaning, and if you need to get to the store or a medical appointment, transportation is available, sometimes complimentary. People can join in spiritual or devotional gatherings, both on campus and off, and respite care is also there for families who might need a short-term stay or some extra help. Brookdale Englewood provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, continuing care, skilled nursing, and even hospice options if needed, and services adjust as care requirements change, so residents can "age in place" without moving around. The goal is to help everyone live life comfortably, with attention tailored to each person, whether through medication management, dressing, or just that small sense of home, and with a staff that does its best to treat everyone kindly and with respect in an easygoing, supportive environment.
