Brenden Gardens has 110 apartments for seniors who want independent living, assisted living, or memory care, and the apartments come with full kitchens or kitchenettes, so folks can cook if they want, but there's also a MyChoice Dining Program and restaurant-style meals served in care-focused dining rooms with up to three meals a day, and that's nice because people can choose how much they want to do for themselves and how much they want done for them. Maintenance staff looks after the buildings and grounds, and there's a 24/7 front desk concierge for questions or needs that pop up at any hour; housekeeping is included, and satellite TV, basic cable, and internet come with the apartment, so nobody has to worry about setting that up on their own. Residents can use transportation services to go out shopping or on group trips, and many planned activities fill the calendar, like game nights, happy hours, casino nights, and movie nights in a real movie theater, as well as arts and crafts, community events, and clubs, so there always seems to be some way to find company or try something new if someone's interested.
Brenden Gardens is pet-friendly with a dog park and even pet therapy programs, so those with furry friends or those who enjoy animals might find comfort there, and the building itself includes both indoor heated and outdoor pools, a fitness center with exercise classes, and FOX Rehabilitation services are offered for ongoing therapy and healthy living support; they've also got specialized support if someone has Parkinson's, dementia, low vision, or is recovering from surgery, with programs for fall prevention, memory enhancement, and neurological rehabilitation, plus in-house doctor visits and therapy like speech, physical, and occupational. Folks who want some quiet can sit out by the lake, pond, gazebo, flower garden, or park, or head inside to use the library, chapel, card room, or computer workstations, and there's a beauty salon and barbershop, activity studio, or bar/lounge for social times.
Community living at Brenden Gardens means safety with a gated entrance, covered parking, and attentive staff guided by a leadership team and an Executive Director, and the care team supports people with whatever level of help they need-from no assistance at all in the independent living apartments, to extra support in assisted living, or structured programs for people with memory loss. The community holds on-site religious services, runs volunteer and community service opportunities, puts on special meals in a private dining room, and encourages an active social life for those who want to join in. Brenden Gardens' monthly rates for independent living start at $2,800, though the costs can change based on meal plans, services, or extra help needs. Many people find comfort knowing a wide range of care is available if their health needs change, all within one community.
