Brookstone Estates of Vandalia offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents the option to choose the daily support level that best fits their needs. The community can accommodate individuals who require Diabetes Care, including blood-sugar monitoring, medication management, and diet oversight coordinated by licensed nurses. By integrating this service into daily routines, the staff helps residents maintain stability and reduce the risk of complications.
Additional on-site medical services include routine access to dental care, hearing care, podiatry services, and nurses who are available to support ongoing health needs. The team is trained to manage incontinence care, provide ambulatory assistance, and coordinate hospice care when necessary. These resources allow residents to remain in familiar surroundings as their health requirements evolve, reducing the need for outside appointments and minimizing disruptive transitions.
Apartments vary in layout and features, but options may include kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, private decks or patios, and cable or satellite television connections. Some units feature Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and easy access to outdoor areas, while select common areas offer a central fireplace, piano or organ, and convenient parking. Because configurations differ, not every accommodation offers every feature, so prospective residents should verify specific availability during a tour.
The dining program provides three daily meals with an all-day dining option for added flexibility. Menus include low-sodium, no-sugar, gluten-free, and vegan selections, and healthy snacks are available between meals. Guests are welcome to join residents for meals, allowing families to share time together while ensuring dietary guidelines are maintained for those who need additional oversight.
Residents can stay engaged through an activity center, library and computer lounge, and raised garden beds. Social calendars feature clubs and community groups, happy hours, live music, and birthday celebrations, while intergenerational programs and off-site outings encourage broader community involvement and variety throughout the week.
