Brookhaven Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits at 1855 Cheyenne Dr in Carrollton, right next door to Baylor Carrollton, which makes it easier for families and doctors to visit, and when you pull up there's a sense that folks have put a lot of care into keeping things clean and comfortable. The place is pretty large, with more than 175 beds, and about 15 or so private rooms for those who want extra quiet, and the building has both private and shared rooms with private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, and fully furnished spaces, so residents can settle in without much fuss. Brookhaven handles long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, and skilled nursing needs, including caring for people recovering from things like strokes, Parkinson's, and orthopedic injuries, and there's 24-hour supervision, medication management, help with moving around, and support with daily needs, and you see registered nurses, licensed vocational nurses, and certified nursing assistants around at all times. Folks get memory care, wound care, incontinence care, high-acuity medical support, and help for those who can't walk much, and there are secure areas for anyone who tends to wander, which helps keep everyone safe, and they've got a dedicated team doing in-house physician visits and therapy, too.
The rehabilitation wing here was renovated recently, and there's an on-site gym for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician overseeing things, and because they accept Medicare and Medicaid, there's more flexibility for folks with different financial needs. The dining area works restaurant-style, serving meals all day, with special diet options for things like diabetes or food allergies, so nobody's left out, and there's an active social life, with art and music programs, movie nights, spiritual groups, and even a resident-run activities plan, plus a movie theater, a library, a wellness room, a spa/sauna, walking paths, and landscaped outdoor spaces for anyone looking to spend time outside or enjoy community gatherings. Housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and move-in help are all standard, so families don't need to worry about the basics, and there's transportation for appointments when needed.
Brookhaven keeps things simple and safe, with a focus on treating everyone with respect and making sure care plans fit each person's needs and wishes, and the staff aims to balance medical help with emotional and social support, always working to help residents feel comfortable and at home, and while some of the features might sound similar to what you see elsewhere, there's a steady focus here on healing, progress, and keeping the place a steady, reliable part of the Carrollton community. The facility is managed by Diversified Healthcare, and over time, it's gathered a solid reputation for compassionate care from its team of healthcare professionals, as people living here get support for the whole person-body, mind, and soul-in an environment where safety and personal dignity matter, and families often say it feels like a supportive, family-oriented spot where people are treated right.
