Brown Deer Place offers two distinct levels of residence—Independent Living for older adults who want freedom with light support, and Memory Care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Short-term respite stays are available, giving families a reliable option for brief periods of relief or post-hospital recovery. Residents who need regular monitoring for diabetes can receive the necessary assistance, and an on-site speech therapist is on hand for communication or swallowing challenges.
The building is a secured community designed to reduce wandering risks while preserving freedom of movement within safe areas. All care suites are configured to accommodate memory loss, and the care team focuses exclusively on the needs common to Memory Care and related conditions. Incontinence and ambulatory support are provided, along with medication management overseen by licensed nurses. A podiatrist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, and massage therapist make scheduled visits, and hospice services are coordinated when required. This concentration of professionals allows residents to receive comprehensive medical oversight without leaving the campus.
Accommodations include studio, one-bedroom, and companion layouts with options such as kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, and cable television. Select apartments feature fireplaces, central air conditioning, or high-speed Wi-Fi, and some open directly to landscaped outdoor areas. The community accepts small pets, offers piano or organ spaces for personal use, and provides on-site parking. Because layouts and features vary, prospective residents should confirm which amenities are included in their chosen apartment.
Dining follows an all-day schedule so residents can eat on their own timetable. A professional chef prepares three daily meals along with snacks, with menus that can be adjusted to meet low-sodium, no-sugar, vegetarian, gluten-free, or other physician-ordered diets. International dishes, guest meals, and themed events round out the program, and nutrition staff coordinate closely with nursing to ensure that medical and dietary guidelines are met.
Recreational services include an activity center, library and computer lounge, and both indoor and outdoor walking paths. Residents can join clubs, raised-bed gardening projects, reminiscence programs, intergenerational events, and social outings to local attractions. Happy hours, live-music performances, birthday parties, and dances are scheduled throughout the month to maintain an active social calendar.
