If needed, there's access to physical therapy, rehabilitation, and an on-site pharmacy, and the community is designed to help people with memory issues thanks to special programs that reduce confusion and prevent wandering.
Folks can get three meals each day in a dining room that looks over an inside courtyard and gardens, and snacks are always available, plus there are programs for weight management and nutrition tracking. There's a garden outside, a courtyard, and even a beauty and barber shop where people can get a haircut or visit with a neighbor, and for staying active, there's a fitness room, equipment, wellness programs, and a game room, as well as a library stocked with regular and large-print books. Events, activities, music, art, outings, and other social programs keep things lively, while pet-friendly policies make it easy for animal lovers to keep their companions close.

Overall, Brookdale Germantown aims to give seniors the choice to live as independently as possible, while offering help and a bit of company when it's wanted, all in a relaxed place that feels more neighborly than big or flashy.
