Brookdale Destin in Destin, Florida, provides three levels of residency—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can remain in the same community even as their needs change. Care plans are designed to support individuals with moderate dementia, day- or night-time wandering, elopement risk, sleep reversal, and diabetes managed by oral medication. A structured Memory Care program supports cognition, orientation, and behavior management, while Assisted Living services cover routine personal tasks for those needing partial or full assistance.
Clinical resources are delivered on site. Residents have access to 12- to 16-hour daily nursing coverage, a 24-hour nurse on duty, and oversight from RNs and LPNs. Podiatry, wound care, ambulatory care, occupational therapy, medication management, and hospice services are available within the building. Background-checked staff remain awake through the night, and the community maintains 24-hour security. Bathing, dressing, toileting, and eating assistance can be provided at the full-support level, and residents who use walkers, wheelchairs, or only need standby help with transfers are all accommodated.
Most apartments include a private bathroom and are wired for an emergency response system; keypad entry adds another layer of safety. Units are climate-controlled and sized for personal furniture, with options that vary by floor plan, so not every accommodation offers the same features. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are handled by staff, freeing residents from day-to-day chores.
Meals are served restaurant-style from a set menu, with therapeutic and texture-modified diets prepared on request for diabetic, cardiac, or other clinical needs. Staff monitor intake for residents who require oversight or direct feeding assistance, and snacks are available outside scheduled dining times. Special events and private dining arrangements allow families to share meals on site.
Residents have access to surface parking, an outdoor pool, a wellness center, internet, and a daily check-in system. Amenities also include a barber and beauty shop, concierge services, meeting rooms, therapy space, communal gardens, walking paths, a screened lanai, a courtyard with a fishing pond, and a golf course nearby. Indoor options range from an arts and crafts studio and game room to a library, piano, café/bistro, and flat-screen TVs in common areas. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments, errands, and group outings.
