Brookdale Uptown Whittier delivers two levels of residential care—Assisted Living and Independent Living—so residents can step into the amount of daily help they need without relocating. Clinical supports include wound management, oxygen administration, special diet oversight, services for diabetics who use oral medications, and admission of adults under 60 who meet the community’s criteria. The community does not provide dementia-specific programming or memory care services.

Around-the-clock access to a nurse is in place, and all team members undergo background checks. Staff members remain awake throughout the night, and security personnel are on site 24 hours a day with a fenced rear perimeter and a PERS alert system that notifies staff members of emergencies. An activity director coordinates daily programming, and a podiatrist visits the property for routine foot care. Residents who need bathing, dressing, or toileting receive full assistance, while help with eating is available for those who need some physical support. Mobility options range from simple standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers using walkers or wheelchairs.

Apartments are designed to let residents control their own comfort and privacy. Layouts may feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate; however, not every apartment includes every feature, so it is important to confirm specific details when touring. Common areas are wheelchair-accessible to ensure residents who use mobility devices can move freely throughout the building.

Dining staff prepare meals to order, stock snacks throughout the day, and accommodate physician-prescribed diet modifications. Independent Living residents can opt into medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, linen and personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, allowing them to retain autonomy while reducing daily chores.

Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, and a pet-friendly policy; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional amenities include wheelchair-accessible entrances, a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and errands, and the property is situated close to public transit stops for added convenience.
