Brookdale Bay City delivers two levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—under one roof. The community is equipped to manage residents who wander at any time of day, attempt elopement, remain awake throughout the night, or live with complex medical needs such as wound care, oxygen therapy, specialty diets, and diabetes managed by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale protocols. The team also accepts residents under 60 and is trained to support advanced dementia conditions, providing structured programming in spaces designed specifically for memory loss.
An awake night-shift staff, on-site nurses, and visiting professionals such as podiatrists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists help ensure consistent monitoring and timely interventions. Services include medication management, incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, and hospice coordination. Direct care staff can offer full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer support ranges from standby help for walker users to two-person transfers, Hoyer-lift moves, and care for bed-bound residents, allowing the community to accommodate changing mobility needs without relocation.
Residences are available in several floor plans; some feature private bathrooms, while others include a kitchenette to support light meal preparation and personal independence. Families should verify which specific features are present in the suite they are considering, as not every unit includes every option.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with all-day dining available for residents who prefer flexible schedules. The culinary team can provide vegetarian dishes, low-sodium plates, no-sugar options, and other physician-ordered diet modifications. Guest meals are offered so family and friends can dine with residents, and special dietary menus are updated regularly to align with medical directives.
Common conveniences include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible buildings, an on-site barber and beauty shop, a wellness center for routine health checks and fitness, reliable internet access, and well-kept communal gardens for outdoor relaxation.
