Brooklyn Living Center in Brooklyn, Michigan, provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who want the reassurance of help with daily activities can choose the assisted option, while those who handle their own routines can remain in independent apartments and still access services as needed. The community accepts residents who manage diabetes with oral medication but does not serve individuals with dementia-related conditions.
Medical oversight is anchored by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Care team members stay awake throughout the night, respond to pull-cord alerts, and have completed background checks. On-site podiatry is available, and full assistance can be provided with bathing, dressing, and toileting, plus some physical help at mealtimes. The staff can support residents who use walkers or wheelchairs, stand by for supervision, or perform a one-person transfer. Security is continuous, with personnel on site at all hours.
Accommodations range from studio-style to larger layouts and may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, and not every unit contains every feature, so it is best to confirm during a tour.
Dining is flexible, with made-to-order meals, in-room service, and a private dining room for family gatherings. Snacks are available throughout the day, and the culinary staff can adjust menus to meet physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, and wheelchair-friendly common spaces. The community permits pets; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Other conveniences include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, internet access, communal gardens, a library, and regularly scheduled religious services.
