Brookdale Zanesville sits on six acres of landscaped land in Perry County and serves seniors with a mix of care options like assisted living, memory care, independent living, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement. The place's got lots of apartment layouts-studio, alcove, and one-bedroom options-so folks can pick what suits them best, and each unit has private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and choices between furnished or unfurnished spaces. The grounds are well kept, with walking paths, a courtyard, gardens, and a gazebo so residents can get outside, take a stroll, or just relax. People can bring a dog or cat, and there's parking for residents who have a car. Inside, there are spaces for socializing and relaxing, like a library, arts and crafts studio, beauty parlor, bistro, and a residents lounge, plus a computer area and laundry facilities for daily needs.
Brookdale Zanesville puts a focus on health and well-being with services like housekeeping, linen changes, medication management, and an emergency call system in each apartment. The staff includes nurses on site and doctors on call, all available 24/7, and the place can look after residents who need varying levels of support, whether they're fairly independent or need more help with things like transfers or mechanical lifts. Memory care takes place in a secure, purpose-built building with safety systems like bracelets that sound an alarm if someone leaves the community and computer systems that alert staff when a resident wanders toward an unsafe area. The team uses individualized care plans and behavioral care if needed, with extra focus on those who are prone to wandering or acting out due to dementia or memory loss, and they're ready to support residents all the way, including for end-of-life needs with hospice care.
Meals are professionally prepared, following special diets like low sodium, low sugar, vegan, and vegetarian, and served restaurant-style or by room service if desired. There's always three meals a day, plus the option for guests to join or to have private dining. Residents can join in on a lot of activities, such as yoga, chair yoga, brain fitness, art and cooking classes, gardening, pet programs, lectures, outings, trivia, and devotional services. Smoking is only allowed outdoors. They also allow short-term respite stays, so folks can try living there or recover after being in the hospital. With complimentary transportation, a wheelchair-accessible layout, and a focus on helping residents age in place as needs change, Brookdale Zanesville tries to be a community where people can stay comfortable, safe, and involved in life while getting the care they need.
