Brookdale Central Whittier offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents can receive wound care, oxygen therapy, diabetic oversight for those on oral medications, and nutritional support for special diets. The team also accepts adults under 60 years old who need these services. While the community does not provide dementia-specific programming, it does bring podiatry services on site so residents do not have to leave the property for routine foot care.

An RN or LPN is on staff and a nurse is on call around the clock, backed by an awake night team and a Personal Emergency Response System that alerts staff. All employees complete background checks, and the grounds are secured with fencing in the front and rear. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and some physical help with meals. Transfers can be handled with a walker, wheelchair, standby support, or a one-person lift, depending on what each resident needs. An activity director coordinates daily programming for both Assisted Living and Independent Living participants.

Apartment styles vary; some have a private bathroom and cable service, while others do not include both features, so families should confirm specific layouts during a tour. Independent Living residents can arrange for medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, and personal laundry so they can stay focused on their own routines without worrying about chores.

Meals are ordered from a menu at each sitting, with snacks available throughout the day. The kitchen staff can adjust textures, portion sizes, and ingredients to meet physician-ordered diet modifications, which is important for residents who require low-sodium, diabetic, or other specialized meal plans.

Community amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation is provided, and the property is close to public transit for added convenience. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
