Brookside Memory Care sits in Tigard, Oregon, and offers a range of senior living services like independent living, assisted living, nursing care, and specialized memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the place has a long family heritage in senior care going back to 1985, which shows in how they stick to values like dignity, integrity, and respect. People can schedule initial assessments to talk about care needs, and the community encourages new families to talk to current residents and their families for honest feedback, plus there's always a straightforward talk about costs, payment, and contract details so things are clear from the start. The facility provides private and ADA-accessible rooms, each with half baths, individual climate controls, personal phone lines, cable TV, Wi-Fi, washers and dryers, and emergency pull-cord systems in the room and bathroom, which helps a lot if there's an accident or need for help. Rooms come with handicap accessible showers and air conditioning, and companion options are available for folks who want that.
The safety of residents gets top focus, so you'll find wet and dry sprinkler systems, secured keypad entry, and safety checks in the amenities, and the staff stays awake overnight-every night-with training in Alzheimer's and dementia care. Residents get care from a team that includes a medical director, registered nurse, coordinators, medical technicians, and a full culinary team, so support's always there, day or night, all year round. Healthcare help covers high acuity care, diabetic support, medication management, wound care, podiatry, occupational therapy, personal care services like bathing and toileting assistance, help with walking or wheelchairs, plus dressing and grooming. Activities run from music to crafts, fitness, wellness programs, and spiritual or cognitive support, with a big focus on one-on-one and small group memory care events for people facing memory loss and confusion. The person-centered approach means plans and activities always look at each person's needs and life history, not a one-size-fits-all method.
There are two big outdoor patios, raised garden beds for anyone who likes to dig in the dirt, a secure walking path in the courtyard, and indoor community spots like a fireplace living room, an activity room with up-to-date tech, a reading room, and a TV lounge with a 75-inch screen. There's a dining room for regular meals, plus a private space for special gatherings, and the menu planning allows for vegan, gluten-free, low sodium, organic, or no-sugar meals, and guests can come eat too. Every room includes regular housekeeping and laundry, with building and grounds maintenance handled by staff, so nobody has to worry about fixing things or cleaning up. Residents and guests have on-site parking, and utilities like cable and internet are included.
Brookside Memory Care uses a clear process that emphasizes upfront conversations, scheduled tours-including virtual visits-and careful reviews of everything from amenities and activity programs to care levels and payment. Senior care advisors help guide families through choices like assisted living, memory care, or nursing options, making sure everyone knows what to expect before moving in. Staff runs safety protocols like temperature screening and quarantine during emergencies, and keeps up regular wellness visits, pet therapy, and social events. The place feels homey and safe, and the community scores high with residents and families, holding a 4.4 out of 5 sentiment rating.
