Brookdale University Park offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to choose the level of support they need. The health team can manage wound care, oxygen therapy, and diabetes—whether the resident relies on oral medication or insulin injections. Staff are also trained to work with individuals who have moderate dementia conditions. Routine podiatry services are provided on-site, reducing the need for outside appointments and keeping foot health issues from escalating.
Care is backed by an RN or LPN on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock. All employees undergo background checks, and an awake night shift, 24-hour security presence, fenced rear area, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems help maintain safety. Residents who need help with daily activities can receive full assistance for bathing, dressing, and toileting, while those who can eat independently are encouraged to do so. Mobility needs are covered with support for walkers and wheelchairs, as well as standby, one-person, or two-person transfers. An activity director coordinates daily programming to keep residents engaged.
Apartment choices may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and the option to paint or decorate the room, though not every unit includes every feature. Independent Living residents benefit from scheduled housekeeping and laundry services, along with a monthly meal plan.
Meals are prepared from a set menu, and residents can also order alternatives when desired. Snacks are available throughout the day, making it easier to manage blood sugar or simply enjoy a between-meal bite.
Amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, and wheelchair-accessible common spaces. A barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, stair glide, and scheduled transportation are part of daily life, and the campus is close to public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
