Brookdale Auburn in Auburn, CA offers three levels of residency—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—allowing individuals to move in with minimal support needs and remain as care requirements increase. The community is equipped to serve residents who wander in the morning or evening, those at risk of elopement, individuals who are up all night, and adults under 60 who need a supportive environment. Clinical oversight extends to special diet management and diabetics on oral medications. Memory Care programming accepts and supports advanced dementia, providing a secure setting for residents living with complex cognitive challenges.

Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on staff, backed by caregivers who remain awake overnight. A fenced rear area, wander-guard technology, pull-cord alerts, and personal emergency response systems combine with routine background checks to create multiple layers of safety. On-site podiatry, audiology, and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses reduce the need to travel for many medical services. Staff can deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they are trained to handle walkers, wheelchairs, standby or one-person transfers, two-person transfers, and bed-bound residents. An activity director designs programs that align with each resident’s physical and cognitive abilities.

Apartments range from studio to one-bedroom floor plans. Depending on the unit, features may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable hookups, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are standard, but because not all units contain every feature, it is advisable to confirm specific accommodations during a visit.

Snacks are available at any time, and residents can dine in their rooms or invite guests to the private dining room. The culinary team can provide gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanically chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid diets to support physician-ordered nutrition plans.
