Brookdale Buckingham in Glastonbury, CT is a dedicated Memory Care community that also welcomes residents for respite or short-term stays. Medical oversight includes on-site and on-call professionals such as registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, a visiting doctor, and a speech therapist, all experienced in supporting moderate dementia conditions. Residents have access to regular podiatry, audiology, dental visits, and a therapy room for rehabilitative services, ensuring most routine medical needs can be addressed without leaving the building.

Daily support is organized to match each resident’s personal care plan. A nurse is on the premises or on call around the clock, an awake night staff monitors safety, and secure exterior doors with alarms and a fenced rear courtyard help prevent wandering. Direct care includes full-assistance bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, with staff trained to manage transfers using walkers, wheelchairs, or standby supervision. An activity director coordinates therapeutic programming designed for cognitive engagement and physical movement.

Residences are offered furnished, and layouts vary, so not every unit contains the same features. Emergency response systems are standard, and maintenance is handled by community staff. Families are encouraged to review individual apartments during a tour to confirm the specific details that meet their requirements.

Dining follows a set menu prepared to meet nutritional guidelines, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary team can accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications or management plans, such as diabetic or texture-modified meals, to align with each resident’s medical profile.

Residents can expect practical amenities such as a barber and beauty shop, internet access, a library, arts and crafts studio, fireside living room with a piano, flat-screen TV lounges, and a concierge desk for everyday assistance. Outdoor areas include landscaped grounds with walking paths, a screened lanai, a porch, and communal gardens that are secure and accessible. Transportation is scheduled for medical appointments and local outings.
