Brookdale Brookfield is a senior living community that offers a mix of assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, continuing care retirement options, and at-home care. The campus stays focused on wellness and personal independence, and staff tailor care to each person, often rechecking needs so support can change as health changes. Residents can choose from several studio floor plans, with some rooms featuring kitchenettes, and each space has its own bathroom and living area, with easy access for wheelchairs and features to help with mobility. Services include help with bathing, dressing, medication management, mobility, grooming, and reminders for health routines, and for those with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, there's a dedicated memory care area and a memory care salon for haircuts and pampering.
Staff are always available around the clock for emergencies, and the building uses emergency response and monitoring systems to keep everyone safe. The community has landscaped outdoor spaces, gardens, patios, a walking area, and a gazebo, and the common inside rooms offer TVs, comfortable couches, and tables for games, activities, and being together. Group activities run daily, ranging from fitness classes and brain exercises to arts, crafts, music, outings, and seasonal parties. The dining room is bright and set up for shared meals, but there's also private dining, snacks, and in-room dining; menu choices include options like low salt, low fat, diabetic, and vegetarian meals. Special programs, life enrichment activities, and Brookdale's own signature engagement ideas happen throughout each month, with updates shared on Brookdale Blogs.
The place welcomes pets, but residents need to handle their own pet care, and visiting pets are allowed. Spiritual needs get attention with shared spaces for church or Catholic services. There are mailboxes, entertainment areas, guest parking, and transportation for shopping and outings. Services cover adult day care, pharmacy needs, hospice help, diabetic care, in-home health care, and coordination with outside providers if someone's health changes. Cleaning, maintenance, on-site housekeeping, salon visits, and help with laundry are available. Visitors can come on a flexible schedule. The staff have special training for memory care, diabetes, chronic illness, and managing resident behavior, and they assist with moving, including with Hoyer lifts and two-person transfers.
The campus has scenic views and a family-oriented feel, and many say the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, though some mention that communication from leadership can be unclear. Payment options cover credit cards, checks, VA benefits, and long-term care insurance. Brookdale Brookfield tries to meet each resident where they are, respects preferences, and supports living with as much health and independence as possible.
