Brookdale Ann Arbor offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programs structured to support residents who live with physical challenges, age-related decline, or progressive cognitive conditions. The community can accommodate advanced dementia, residents who wander during the day or night, and individuals with a history of elopement. Clinical protocols are in place for people who need wound care, oxygen therapy, or diabetic management—whether on oral medications or insulin injections. The team is also prepared to work with adults under 60 who require the same level of assistance, and night staffing accounts for residents who are up all night and need supervision.

A licensed nurse is on-site and awake around the clock, with an RN or LPN on staff and another nurse on call 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and the building is secured with door alarms, wander-guard technology, and a fully fenced rear area. Residents have pull cords in their apartments to alert staff, and care plans can include one-person, two-person, or full Hoyer-lift transfers as well as standby support for walkers and wheelchairs. On-site medical services include podiatry, a therapy room for rehabilitation sessions, and acceptance of residents with psychiatric needs. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting as required, backed by an activity director who adapts programs to each person’s abilities.

Apartments come furnished with independent temperature controls, cable hookup, and the option to paint or decorate, but specific features such as a private bathroom or kitchenette vary by layout. Housekeeping is provided, and scheduled laundry services are available for linens and clothing. Residents who prefer to bring their own furniture or décor are welcome to do so, subject to space and safety guidelines.

Dining offers a main set menu as well as on-order choices at each meal, with snacks accessible throughout the day. Meals can be served in the restaurant-style dining room, delivered to the apartment for in-room dining, or enjoyed in a private family dining space if booked in advance. The kitchen team manages specialized diets including gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chopped, puréed, and thickened-liquid options to support clinical nutrition plans.

Community amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, and a pet-friendly policy. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The single-level layout is wheelchair accessible and features an exercise room, wellness center, barber/beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a library, and several special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation, proximity to public transit, and convenient curb access simplify trips to medical appointments and local shopping.
