Brookdale Cushing Park offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care on the same campus, making it possible for residents to move between levels of support without leaving familiar surroundings. The Memory Care program is equipped to handle advanced dementia conditions and specific behaviors such as wandering at any time of day, elopement risk, combativeness, or other behavioral challenges. Medical support is also available for residents who require wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, full-assist bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting, as well as diabetics managing their condition with oral medication. Full transfer services—ranging from standby to Hoyer lift and bed-bound transfers—allow the staff to care for residents with varying mobility needs, while those who use walkers or wheelchairs can also be accommodated.
The community maintains a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Background checks are completed for all team members, and night shifts are staffed by awake personnel. Doors are alarmed, the rear grounds are fenced, and pull cords connect residents directly to the care team, with a PERS system in place to call 911 if needed. An activity director coordinates daily programs, and on-site podiatry visits reduce the need for outside appointments. Continuous security and staff presence provide an added measure of safety for residents and reassurance for families.
Accommodation options vary and may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable access; residents can also paint or decorate their rooms, although not every apartment has each of these features. Dining is available through both a set menu and on-order selections, with snacks offered throughout the day. The culinary team can modify meals to support special dietary requirements, whether for diabetic management, texture changes, or physician-ordered restrictions.
Residents in Independent Living have access to the same dining program and can request laundry service as part of their monthly plan. This service is optional, allowing those who prefer to handle their own laundry to continue doing so while offering convenience to residents who would rather have the staff manage it.
On the lifestyle side, Brookdale Cushing Park provides resident parking, outside smoking areas, and is wheelchair accessible throughout the building. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, internet access, and communal gardens. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach local appointments and shopping. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
