Brookdale Irvine supports two levels of residency: Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who still manage most daily activities on their own can choose Independent Living and add services only as needed. Those who require help with bathing, dressing, medication reminders, or other daily tasks can step into Assisted Living, receiving scheduled assistance without sacrificing privacy. The community allows residents to move between these levels if their needs change, so they do not have to leave the campus to find higher or lower levels of care.
Additional medical services are available to address short-term and chronic health needs. Respite stays let caregivers take a break while residents receive full support. A structured Mental Wellness Program, on-site physical therapy in a dedicated therapy room, diabetes management, and scheduled doctor visits are part of routine care planning. Safety measures include a wander-management system, secured keypad entries, and an emergency call system that links residents to staff around the clock.
Apartments range from compact studios to larger layouts, some on the ground floor and others with a balcony, terrace, porch, or private patio. Select units include kitchenettes, in-unit washers and dryers, wall-to-wall carpet, and wheelchair-accessible showers, while all apartments have private bathrooms, independent temperature controls, cable or satellite TV hookups, and Wi-Fi. Common spaces feature a central fireplace, library with computer lounge, meeting rooms, snack shop, guest suites, and landscaped courtyards connected by outdoor walking paths. Utilities, parking options, and postal services are included, but not every apartment contains every listed feature.
Dining follows a restaurant-style format with all-day service. Residents may order from a set menu or request meals made to order, and room service is available when preferred. A professional chef oversees menus that accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, no-sugar, and other diet modifications. International dishes, theme nights, and a private dining room for family gatherings are part of the program. Snacks are accessible throughout the day.
Daily life includes piano music, live entertainment, art classes in a dedicated studio, raised garden beds, putting green and other outdoor sports, yoga sessions, and fitness and Live Well programs. Residents can swim, attend movie nights, play bingo or trivia, join clubs, volunteer in community service projects, and head off-site for social outings. Holiday parties, dances, and birthday celebrations add variety to the calendar, while an activity center and game room provide space for informal gatherings.
