Brookdale Garden Grove is an assisted-living community able to manage a wide range of medical needs. Care teams are prepared for residents who wander at any time of day, exhibit elopement risk, show combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, require wound care, use oxygen, need special diets, live with advanced dementia, are under 60 years old, or manage diabetes with either oral medications or injections. The community’s goal is to keep residents in place while coordinating with physicians and families to adjust care levels as conditions change.
Registered or licensed nurses are on staff, background checks are performed on employees, and an awake night shift monitors residents. Safety features include a fenced rear area, door alarms, in-room pull cords, and personal emergency response systems that alert staff. A visiting podiatrist handles routine foot care on site. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can accommodate walkers, wheelchairs, standby help, one-person or two-person transfers, and even residents who are bed bound.
Most apartments include a private bathroom, individual temperature controls, cable access, and the option for residents to paint or decorate the space; however, not every unit has every feature. Families can tour available floor plans to decide which layout and amenities best suit the resident’s needs.
Meals are prepared to order, and snacks are available throughout the day. The kitchen can honor physician-ordered diet modifications, manage complex nutrition plans, and accommodate residents who require specialized textures or restricted ingredients.
Residents have access to parking, can smoke in designated outdoor areas, and may bring pets; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The building is wheelchair accessible and offers an on-site barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and regular religious services. Scheduled transportation is available, and public transit stops are nearby for additional travel options.
