Brookdale Battle Creek offers two levels of supportive care: Assisted Living and Memory Care. Residents who need help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, or medication reminders can choose Assisted Living, while those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias can enter the secured Memory Care program. Both care types are delivered by trained staff who focus on maintaining residents’ abilities and encouraging engagement. The community’s Memory Care neighborhood uses structured routines and dementia-specific programming to reduce anxiety and help residents remain oriented. Families can transition a loved one between these care levels without leaving the campus.
Beyond the core care types, Brookdale Battle Creek maintains an array of clinical services. Licensed nurses are on site, and physicians, podiatrists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists make regular visits. Residents have access to wound care, diabetes management, hospice support, and a therapy room for rehabilitation exercises. The staff coordinates directly with outside health-care providers and can accommodate respite or short-term stays. A Mental Wellness Program, specialized memory care training for team members, and 24-hour supervision add further layers of oversight. Safety features include an emergency call system in each apartment and a facility-wide sprinkler system.
Apartments range from studio and efficiency layouts to ground-floor units with porches. Select residences include kitchenettes, private bathrooms, wheelchair-accessible showers, in-unit washers and dryers, flat-screen TVs, cable or satellite service, Wi-Fi, and central air conditioning. Common spaces feature a central fireplace, community kitchen, library and computer lounge, and landscaped outdoor areas with walking paths and gardening beds. Resident parking, surface parking for guests, and pet-friendly policies are available, but not every unit has every listed feature.
Dining follows an all-day schedule so residents can choose when to eat. The culinary team prepares menu options that accommodate low-sodium, no-sugar, gluten-free, kosher, vegetarian, and other special dietary needs. Meals are served restaurant-style, and room service is offered for those who prefer to dine in their apartments. Guests may purchase meals to join residents, and staff dietitians review menus to support individual nutrition plans.
Residents can stay active through an on-site activity center, arts and crafts sessions, yoga, tai chi, fitness and live-well programs, trivia games, karaoke, and sensory-based activities. Clubs and social outings encourage community engagement, while holiday gatherings, walking paths, and access to an outdoor swimming pool provide additional options for recreation and wellness.
