Brookdale Utica delivers both Assisted Living and dedicated Memory Care, with programs adaptable to residents who wander, require oxygen, follow physician-ordered special diets, live with diabetes managed by oral medication or insulin, or are younger than 60. The community is set up to support advanced dementia conditions, offering a secure environment where individualized care plans address behavioral changes and progressive cognitive loss.

Round-the-clock licensed nurses, an awake night shift, and an immediate pull-cord alert system anchor daily safety. Residents have in-house access to physicians, nurses, hospice teams, occupational and physical therapists, podiatry, optometry, dialysis coordination, and dentistry, minimizing off-site appointments. Care staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting and can manage every transfer level—from stand-by help to two-person or Hoyer lifts for bed-bound individuals. Background-checked employees, 24-hour staff presence, and a building designed specifically for memory support form an added layer of protection.

Accommodations range from suites with private bathrooms to units that also feature a kitchenette for light meal preparation. Each room is designed for mobility equipment and has emergency call features; however, not all apartments include every amenity, so it is best to verify specific layouts during a tour.

Meals are chef-prepared and served three times daily with all-day dining options for residents who prefer flexible schedules. Therapeutic diets for diabetes, cardiac needs, or texture modifications are available, and healthy snacks are stocked throughout the day to help manage blood sugar and promote balanced nutrition.

Residents have access to landscaped grounds, porches, a fireside living room, library, billiards and game rooms, a community rental space, meeting rooms, piano, and a fully equipped barber and beauty shop. Additional conveniences include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, concierge and postal services, flat-screen TVs, robust Wi-Fi coverage, and internet access points. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
