Brookdale Eagan provides a dedicated memory-care program designed for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia, including advanced stages of the condition. The clinical team manages complex needs such as exit seeking, elopement risk, behavioral challenges, wandering day or night, and combativeness. Medical oversight covers wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, and diabetic management for residents on oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community also accepts younger adults under 60 who require these services.

Around-the-clock support is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Night shifts are fully awake, and door alarms, fenced outdoor areas, pull-cord alerts, and continuous staffing create a secure setting. A full-time activity director organizes programming tailored to cognitive abilities, while background-checked team members are trained to assist with full bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby assistance to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents, and wheelchair or walker users are supported throughout the day. On-site podiatry and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses round out the clinical services profile.

Accommodations include private rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Many suites arrive furnished, though residents may bring personal items, paint, or otherwise decorate to feel at home. Cable television is available in select units, but not every room includes all listed features, so confirming details during a tour is recommended.

Dining follows a set menu crafted to meet nutritional guidelines, with modifications for diabetes, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets. Three daily meals are served in a common dining room, and snacks are accessible outside scheduled mealtimes. Staff offer total assistance at mealtime for residents who need help cutting food, eating, or drinking.

Amenities and services include outdoor smoking areas, a wheelchair-accessible layout, a barber and beauty salon, movie room, wellness center, internet connectivity, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments and errands. Small pets are welcome; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
