The Brook of Boyne City offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents the choice of day-to-day help or a more self-directed lifestyle. Short-term respite stays can be arranged, making the community a practical option for families needing temporary support. Diabetes management is available, and residents who require speech therapy can receive it on site. All care plans are individualized and can be adjusted as needs change.
Medical resources extend well beyond routine monitoring. Hospice, occupational and physical therapy, medication management, podiatry, and high-acuity or non-ambulatory care are all delivered in-house. Memory care services are offered for residents coping with cognitive change, and an emergency call system links every apartment to staff around the clock. Nurses oversee diabetic care, incontinence care, ambulatory support, and other clinical needs, working closely with ancillary providers to coordinate treatment.
Apartments range from studios to units with full kitchens, kitchenettes, balconies, or patios. Wi-Fi, cable, utilities, housekeeping, and maintenance are included, and wheelchair-accessible showers and handicap-friendly layouts are available in many—but not all—suites. Ground-floor units, central fireplaces, private baths, and options for pet-friendly living with dogs or cats can be requested. Indoor and outdoor common areas include library space, a billiards lounge, television lounges, and uncovered resident parking.
Dining is centered on flexibility and choice. Three chef-prepared meals are served daily with anytime dining and room-service options for those who prefer to eat on their own schedule. Menus accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, low-sodium, and no-sugar preferences, and guest meals can be arranged. Special dining programs, private dining for family events, and occasional barbecues or picnics round out the food service.
Residents have access to an activity center, arts and crafts studio, library and computer lounge, fitness center, indoor and outdoor walking paths, raised garden beds, and a swimming pool. Regular programming includes yoga, chair yoga, tai chi, stretching classes, Wii bowling, live music or theater performances, movie nights, wine tastings, happy hours, gardening club, cooking classes, community service projects, and holiday parties. Chaplain visits, Catholic, Protestant, and other devotional services are scheduled, while day trips, educational speakers, and lifelong-learning sessions encourage ongoing engagement. Pet-focused programs are offered for residents who enjoy animal interaction.
