Brookdale Richmond is an assisted-living community that concentrates on meeting day-to-day medical needs. Residents have access to diabetes management, on-site physical therapy and speech therapy, as well as a mental wellness program. The community accommodates respite or short-term stays, giving families a break or a bridge after hospitalization. For routine foot care, a podiatrist visits on a regular schedule, and the staff is trained to support residents living with moderate dementia conditions.
Care delivery is backed by licensed nurses on staff, a 24-hour nurse on call, and an awake night shift. All employees undergo background checks, and the property maintains 24-hour staffing with door alarms and in-room pull cords. Personal care can include full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility help ranges from standby supervision to one-person transfers for residents who use walkers or wheelchairs. An activity director plans daily programming that aligns with residents’ care plans.
Apartments include a private bathroom, individual climate controls, cable hookup, and the option for residents to paint or decorate their space; however, not every unit offers every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, so residents can keep their focus on daily life rather than chores.
Meals are prepared daily with both set menus and made-to-order options, and snacks are available between meals. A private dining room is offered for family gatherings, and the culinary team can honor physician-ordered diet modifications or management plans.
Residents and visitors will find on-site parking, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, a wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, keypad entry, flat-screen TVs, a piano, libraries, postal services, a covered porch, landscaped grounds, a fireside living room, a whirlpool, and special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation can be arranged for medical appointments and errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
