Brookdale Pocatello offers three distinct levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care—so residents can remain in the same community even as their needs change. Licensed nurses oversee daily clinical services, including diabetes monitoring and treatment, medication management, and incontinence and ambulatory care. The Memory Care program is designed for individuals with moderate dementia and provides structured routines and cognitive support. Hospice services are available on site, allowing residents to receive end-of-life care without relocating.
Round-the-clock staffing and monitored security systems help ensure resident safety at all hours. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and can support transfers with walkers, wheelchairs, or a simple standby approach for residents who need only supervision. Ongoing health assessments guide individualized care plans, and families receive regular updates about any changes. For residents in Independent Living, optional medication-management monitoring is offered, allowing them to maintain autonomy while still having a clinician track prescriptions and dosage compliance.
Apartments are laid out to support aging in place and may include a kitchenette for light meal preparation; prospective residents should confirm which floor plans have this feature. Emergency call systems and accessible bathrooms are standard. Residents in Independent Living can add support services such as medication monitoring at any time, and upgrades to higher levels of care are available without changing apartments when possible.
The culinary staff prepares three meals daily, and diet-specific menus accommodate physician-ordered modifications, whether for diabetes management, reduced sodium, or other needs. Snacks are available throughout the day, and staff can provide full assistance with eating if necessary. Private dining space can be reserved for family gatherings so residents can host visitors without leaving the community.
Amenities include resident parking, a barber and beauty salon, exercise and wellness centers, a movie room, library, game room, arts and crafts studio, cafe/bistro, pub-style lounge, and a pool. Flat-screen TVs, communal gardens, walking paths, and an on-site chapel add to daily convenience, while concierge service and internet access keep residents connected. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
