Brookdale Tequesta MC is dedicated solely to memory care, providing a structured environment and staff training that targets the needs of residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. The community can also accommodate individuals requiring ongoing diabetes management, and it accepts residents for respite or short-term stays, making it an option for families who need temporary support.
Beyond its primary memory care focus, the community delivers several specialized services on site. Licensed staff oversee medication management, incontinence care and high-acuity support, and the building is equipped to serve residents who are non-ambulatory. Pet-focused programs and designated staff ensure pets receive proper care when residents cannot, helping maintain established routines and emotional connections.
Apartments and common areas include a variety of practical features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes in select units, ground-floor options, and air conditioning. Some residences overlook a garden or patio, while others are positioned near the central fireplace, library or TV lounge. Wi-Fi, cable television access, and resident parking are available, although not every accommodation offers every feature, and weight limits may apply for certain units. Indoor meeting rooms and outdoor butterfly or hummingbird gardens extend the usable living space, with handicap-accessible pathways connecting these areas.
Dining services emphasize balanced nutrition as well as choice. Residents receive three daily meals prepared by a professional chef, with restaurant-style service in the main dining room and an option for private dining or room service when preferred. Menus accommodate vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar and pureed diets, and occasional barbecues, picnics, international cuisine nights and guest meals keep offerings varied.
Residents can take part in an activities calendar that includes art and cooking classes, gardening club sessions in raised beds, trivia and karaoke nights, live music, dances, day trips, educational talks and swimming in the on-site pool. The community also hosts reminiscence and sensory-based programs tailored to cognitive support, along with stretching classes, Live Well programs, men’s club gatherings, movie nights in a dedicated theater room, holiday and birthday parties, and games in the activity room or outdoors.
