Brookdale Urbana provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programming and staffing designed to support residents who live with moderate dementia. Residents have access to physical therapy, speech therapy and specialized diabetes management on site, and families can take advantage of respite or short-term stay options when needed. The community’s Memory Care neighborhood offers structured daily routines, secure environments and trained staff who focus on preserving cognitive function while promoting safety and dignity.
Around-the-clock staffing and 24-hour security systems back up the clinical services. A licensed nursing team coordinates medication management, wound care, hospice support and ongoing health checks. Physical, occupational and speech therapists see residents in dedicated therapy areas, reducing the need for outside appointments. The care team can assist fully with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting and is trained to perform walker, wheelchair, standby, one-person and two-person transfers. An enclosed courtyard, brain-fitness technology and regular podiatry visits round out a medical program intended to keep residents as mobile and comfortable as possible.
Apartments are available in several layouts; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls and cable connections, though not every unit offers every feature. Housekeeping, linen service and laundry are handled on site, and staff check emergency-response systems in each room. Residents who enter under Independent Living can add medication-management monitoring to their service plan, allowing them to remain self-reliant while still having professional oversight of prescriptions.
Dining offers a set menu at traditional mealtimes, but residents may also order alternatives on demand. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and the culinary team works with clinical staff to manage special diets such as low-sugar or low-sodium meal plans. Guests are welcome in the private dining room, and tray service can be arranged when a resident prefers to eat in their apartment.
The campus includes resident parking, landscaped grounds, communal gardens, a porch and a fireside living room. Indoors, residents make use of an exercise room, therapy room, wellness center, movie room, game room, library, piano and flat-screen TVs. A barber and beauty shop, on-site religious services and a dedicated emergency-response system in each apartment add convenience and peace of mind. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Reliable internet access, a flat walking path to public transportation and a strong activities calendar help residents stay connected both on and off campus.
