Brookdale Santa Catalina delivers three distinct levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can remain in the same community even as needs change. The staff is equipped to handle complex medical profiles, including residents who wander, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, or are at risk of elopement. Support is also available for individuals who stay up all night, require oxygen therapy, need wound care, or follow special diets. Diabetic management covers oral medication, injections, and sliding-scale insulin, and the community accepts residents under 60 as well as those living with advanced dementia. Clinical oversight is strong, with an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on-site 24 hours a day, an additional nurse on call around the clock, and continual security staffing.
Beyond primary medical support, Brookdale Santa Catalina offers a broad range of ancillary healthcare and personal-care services. On-site resources include skilled nursing, hospice coordination, pharmacy services, occupational therapy, podiatry, and medication management, all housed within an enclosed courtyard design that supports safety. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team is trained in all transfer methods—from standby supervision and walker assistance to two-person transfers, Hoyer lift use, and care for bed-bound individuals. The facility also maintains laundry and dry-cleaning services, incontinence programs, and resident and family counseling.
Apartments feature a private bathroom and cable access, though not every unit includes every feature. Residents can select layouts that match their budget and needs, balancing privacy with proximity to care teams. Housekeeping and maintenance are provided, and emergency-response systems are built in to connect residents to staff quickly.
Meals follow a set menu with options for physician-ordered diets, diabetic modifications, and texture adjustments. Snacks are available throughout the day, and staff can provide full dining assistance when necessary. A private dining room can be reserved for family visits or special occasions, and nutritional monitoring helps ensure residents maintain adequate caloric intake.
Amenities emphasize convenience and social engagement. The campus includes resident parking, surface and carport options, a general store, postal services, concierge assistance, and keypad entry for security. Residents have access to a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, therapy room, wellness center, outdoor pool, therapy pool, hot tub, and walking paths that weave through communal gardens and a putting green. Indoor common areas consist of a fireside living room, library, game room, community room rentable for events, meeting rooms, and a business center with computers and wireless internet. Additional features include a piano, flat-screen TVs, guest suites for overnight visitors, greenhouse space for gardening, and regularly scheduled excursions and entertainment programs.
