Brookdale Bossier City offers two primary levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—supported by an awake, overnight staff that monitors residents around the clock. Residents have access to diabetes management, respite stays and care protocols designed for moderate dementia. On-site medical resources include licensed nurses, visiting podiatrists, physical and occupational therapists, medication management services and coordinated hospice support. The community also provides ambulatory care, incontinence care and a secured, enclosed courtyard for Memory Care residents to help reduce exit-seeking behavior.
Daily living assistance is tailored to need: staff can give some physical help with bathing, full assistance with dressing and eating, and provide standby oversight for toileting for residents able to manage basic self-care. Transfer support ranges from simple walker and wheelchair guidance to one-person physical transfers, allowing residents to maintain mobility while remaining safe. The goal is to keep residents functioning at their highest possible level while still offering the hands-on help required.
Apartments are available in several layouts, some with private bathrooms and in-room cable service; not every unit includes every feature, so families should verify specific details during a tour. Independent Living residents occupy similar floor plans but receive fewer hands-on services, relying instead on scheduled wellness checks and optional medication-management monitoring designed for a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
Meals are prepared three times daily, and an anytime-dining option lets residents eat on their own schedule. The culinary team accommodates diet modifications such as low-sodium, no-sugar, gluten-free and vegetarian menus, and healthy snacks are always available. Room service, guest meals, barbecues and picnics, all-day dining and special dining programs round out the food options, providing both convenience and variety.
Brookdale Bossier City supplements its care and dining program with resident parking, wheelchair-accessible spaces, walking paths and landscaped grounds. There is a barber/beauty shop, arts and crafts studio, library, flat-screen TV areas, fireside living room, piano, porch, private dining room, meeting rooms, and campus-wide Wi-Fi and internet access. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
