Brookdale Richland Hills is a one-story senior living community that welcomes both independent seniors and those who need a bit more help with daily tasks, and the staff, who are fully trained and kind, are always available to give a hand with things like bathing, dressing, medication, or just getting around, and they try to answer call lights quickly, so residents feel safe and cared for all day and night. The building makes life easier because it's on one level and has wide hallways, wheelchair accessible showers, and open living spaces like lounges, living rooms, and inviting dining rooms where residents can enjoy nutritious meals; the chef and kitchen staff focus on creating meals with quality ingredients, and the dining rooms are bright, roomy, and set up to make meal times pleasant, plus they allow guest meals and flexible menu options to suit different dietary needs, including diabetic and low-salt meals.
Outdoor areas are a big part of life here, and residents like sitting on the front porch, relaxing in the fenced courtyards, or taking walks on winding paths through community gardens with raised beds and plenty of places to rest, and people who enjoy being outside can garden, enjoy the lawns, or walk companion animals because pets are welcome, and staff can help with outdoor activities if needed. Rooms are comfortable and sized for both privacy and ease, ranging from 288-360 square feet, and each one is unfurnished, so residents can bring their own things, plus rooms have closets, phones, and their own climate controls, with regular cleaning, linen changes, and laundry provided by the housekeeping team, who also take care of trash and maintenance.
Residents can choose from a big range of activities each day, including arts and crafts, educational classes, music, exercise like yoga, brain fitness, coffee chats, fitness challenges, seasonal celebrations, outings, and spiritual activities; there's a library with large-print and audio books for reading, and a full-service salon/barber shop for hair and nails. The community pays special attention to those with memory issues, offering secure memory care services designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering with special outdoor courtyards, cozy social spaces, and staff trained to work with dementia, so residents with Alzheimer's or similar conditions can enjoy life safely.
Brookdale HealthPlus® services mean there's registered nurse oversight on site, support for chronic conditions like diabetes and heart problems, annual wellness checks, health screenings, immunizations, and someone to help coordinate care after hospital stays. Help is available for medication management, managing appointments, dining assistance, cueing and reminders, and personal care tasks, with services built around each resident's own needs, and respite care is offered for short-term stays or when caregivers need a break.
Friendly staff are known for being patient and joyful with residents and visitors, and there's a focus on building a sense of community through shared meals, casual get-togethers, special events, and devotional services. Safety is considered in building features like controlled access, fire systems, alarmed doors, and a 24-hour emergency response system, and all units and spaces meet handicap accessibility requirements, including wheelchair friendly designs.
Transportation services help residents get to shops, appointments, or group outings, with both complimentary and paid options, and there's on-site parking for residents who still drive. Amenities also include Wi-Fi, communal kitchens, entertainment spaces, post boxes, and common area televisions, so seniors have access to conveniences. Elder law, financial planning, notary services, and access to off-site religious services are available as well.
In all, Brookdale Richland Hills gives seniors choices for independent living, assisted living, and specialized memory care, offers continuing care with skilled nursing, and works to provide a safe, down-to-earth place for those who want a little help, want to stay engaged, or simply want peace of mind as they age.
