Brookdale Westover Hills sits in a busy part of town and offers a mix of living choices, including studios, alcove, and one-bedroom apartments, and the building itself looks inviting with big windows and plenty of places to sit and talk with others, which you can see right when you walk in because there's comfortable seating, a fireplace, and tables for playing cards or doing puzzles, and sometimes people gather there for book club or sewing groups. They have a lot of activities for residents, both inside and out, from arts and crafts, brain fitness classes, cooking lessons, educational talks, and games like Wii bowling or trivia, as well as offsite day trips and outings, and there are also pet-related programs since residents can bring their cats and dogs, and the pet care's included.
Fitness and recreation matter here, and you'll notice it in the workout rooms and outdoor courtyards with spots to stroll, sit with family, or just enjoy the nice weather under a shade umbrella, and you'll likely see activity rooms set up for social gatherings, with TVs, big tables, and places to relax. Three meals a day are served in a dining room with natural light, and meals can fit special diets like gluten-free, low-salt, or low-sugar, while residents can also order room service if they want a quiet dinner; and, it feels more like eating out since the dining space has restaurant-style settings and sometimes even private dining rooms for family visits.
Residents needing help with bathing, dressing, taking their medications, or doing chores like laundry or cleaning can use the assisted living services. For those with memory loss, Alzheimer's, or dementia, the place offers a secured memory care wing in its own building, with extra safety like alarms on bracelets to keep folks from wandering off, a higher level of medical support, 24-hour awake staff, and an approach where care is focused on each person's habits, hobbies, and what makes them feel comfortable, so they try and work with behavior changes like exit-seeking or outbursts, which is good for families worried about safety but wanting to keep someone in a homelike space.
Doctors can come when needed, and there's a nurse on staff along with a care team day and night, which helps if there's an emergency, and the staff is used to handling difficult behaviors or lifting people who can't move on their own. Transportation services are available for appointments and shopping, and there's parking for those who drive, though many residents don't need to. Besides all that, the community includes an onsite beautician, Wi-Fi, devotional services, hospice, and respite care, and since it offers both assisted living and skilled nursing alongside independent options, folks can stay right here even if their health care needs change, which takes some worry off families about having to move again.
The place is pet-friendly, supports a wide range of needs, and has policies to accept people who might have tough behaviors or who are prone to wandering, so it's meant to be inclusive and supportive, with staff around the clock and building designs that make home life and safety the biggest things, not just fancy extras.
