Brookdale Vero Beach South is a memory-care–only community that also accepts respite or short-term stays. Residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia receive round-the-clock oversight from nurses and caregivers trained in medication management, wound care, diabetes monitoring and incontinence support. On-site medical professionals include physicians, physical and occupational therapists, a speech therapist, a podiatrist, an optometrist, and massage therapists. Hospice services are available when needed, and the therapy room is equipped for individual or group rehabilitation sessions.

The community is secured with keypad entry, a wander-management system and an emergency call system in every apartment. Sprinklers are installed throughout the property. Care is delivered in spaces designed specifically for memory loss, including enclosed courtyards that allow safe outdoor access. Regular health checks, ambulatory assistance and coordination with outside specialists help residents maintain stability while remaining on campus.

Apartments range from ground-floor studio suites to larger efficiency units. Each residence is air-conditioned and offers cable or satellite TV connections, Wi-Fi access and wheelchair-accessible showers; some units add washers and dryers, screened lanais or views of landscaped grounds. Housekeeping, linen service and maintenance are included, and resident parking is available. Indoor common areas feature a fireside living room, an atrium and a central fireplace, while outdoors residents will find walking paths, gardens and shaded porches. Not all accommodations include every feature, so it is best to confirm specific details during a tour.

Dining is handled by a professional culinary team that provides all-day meal service with options for low-sodium, gluten-free, vegetarian, kosher and other physician-ordered diets. Menus rotate to include international dishes and familiar favorites, and guests may join residents for meals. A private dining room is available for family gatherings, and room service can be requested when a resident prefers to dine in their apartment.

Residents can stay active through daily programming in the activity center, fitness classes such as yoga and chair yoga, and health and wellness programs. The campus includes indoor walking paths, raised garden beds and an outdoor swimming pool. Social calendars feature clubs, arts and crafts workshops, live music, karaoke nights, theater performances, dances, happy hours, birthday celebrations and intergenerational events. A library and computer lounge supports quieter pursuits, and scheduled outings keep residents connected to the larger Vero Beach community.
