Brookdale Tyler South is a single-story senior living community in Texas that's easy to get around and has plenty of places to gather and relax, with wide hallways, large windows for natural light, and several comfortable seating areas with plush chairs, cozy rugs, and fireplaces where folks can watch TV or chat by the fire, and there are also common rooms like a library, lounges, and card and game rooms for different interests, plus a beauty and barber salon on-site for haircuts and pampering. The property features both private and semi-private rooms, all with private bathrooms, emergency call systems, and options for furnished or unfurnished spaces, as well as cable or satellite TV, and internet or Wi-Fi.
The dining room is elegant, and every day there are three homemade, restaurant-style meals with dietary accommodations available, and snacks and flexible meal plans are offered, so there's always something for different tastes, and meals are served by friendly staff who greet everyone with a smile. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services keep things tidy, and utilities except basic cable and telephone are included, which makes things simple for residents.
Outdoor amenities are plentiful, with covered patios with wicker furniture, a fenced courtyard with lush landscaping and a stone retaining wall, walking paths, gardens, and a secured outdoor area for residents who need extra safety. The community is designed as a secure place with technology like bracelets with alarms to prevent wandering, and controlled access at building entrances and exits to help keep everyone safe, which is especially important for those in memory care.
Brookdale Tyler South offers independent living for active seniors, assisted living for those who need help with bathing, dressing, medication, meals, and mobility, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, with programs, activities, and therapies to keep minds and bodies active. There are staff on-site around the clock, with nurses and aides able to handle most care needs, including personal care, medication management, incontinence care, and special diets, and there's a nurse on staff and a doctor available on call, so health needs get quick attention.
The community supports people through all different stages of aging, with services like diabetic care, support for behavioral and elopement risks, stand-by and two-person assisted transfers, and use of mechanical lifts, and memory care services are specialized for people who wander or have physical or behavioral needs, including those who might act out physically, so there's a safe, structured routine every day. Residents who need therapy-like physical, speech, or occupational therapy-can get that on-site, and visiting podiatrists also come, while hospice and respite care is another option so families get support as needed.
Activities are a big part of life here, with a full schedule that includes arts and crafts, group exercise, chair fitness, music, gardening, educational events, outings, and special seasonal happenings, so residents can stay social and busy, and devotional services on-site help keep faith part of life for those who want it. Pets like cats and dogs are welcome, which means residents don't have to leave their best friend behind, and the team helps with transportation services, including rides to medical appointments.
The building is wheelchair accessible, has flexible visiting hours, and is located in a convenient area, so family can visit easily. Security is a focus, with emergency preparedness plans, safety checks, and regularly trained staff, and the company screens staff background and driving records, and trains them in everything from memory care and medication to chronic disease management and palliative care, so care is steady and reliable.
People can pay privately or with VA benefits, using all-inclusive rent arrangements, but the community doesn't accept Medicaid or Medicare. Rooms cost about $5,300 for a memory care studio and around $4,500 for a semi-private space, which includes many amenities. The whole community is designed to help residents feel at home, keep connected with others, and age well with independence and dignity, and the staff is known for being caring and for greeting everyone kindly, so folks get a sense of comfort and peace. Brookdale has been providing senior living since 1978, and at Brookdale Tyler South, the focus stays on safety, respect, and helping people live the way they want for as long as possible.
