Brookdale Dover offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with clinical capabilities that accommodate residents who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, display combative or other behavioral issues, or remain awake throughout the night. Care teams are also equipped to manage wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and the needs of adults under 60. Diabetic management ranges from oral medications to insulin injections and sliding-scale coverage, and the community accepts residents with advanced dementia conditions.
Round-the-clock support is provided by licensed nurses who are on site 24 hours a day, backed by an RN/LPN team and an activity director trained in therapeutic engagement. Every staff member undergoes background checks, and an awake night shift monitors door alarms, pull-cord call systems, a fenced rear area, and personal emergency response systems. On-site medical resources include regular podiatry visits, a therapy room, and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Direct care covers full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, plus some help with eating. Mobility support ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers for walkers and wheelchairs.
Residences are designed for varying levels of independence. Depending on the selected floor plan, apartments may offer a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate. Housekeeping is provided, and scheduled laundry services are included, but not every unit contains every listed feature.
Dining follows a set menu prepared by the culinary team, with snacks available throughout the day. The kitchen can modify textures to mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid consistencies, and staff manage physician-ordered diet restrictions and special meal plans.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a concierge desk, and a library. Scheduled transportation and proximity to public transit help residents attend appointments or outings. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
