Brookdale West St. Paul offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to remain in the same community even as care needs increase. The team is equipped to manage wandering behaviors during the day or night, potential elopement risks, and residents who are frequently awake overnight. Clinical support extends to wound care and diabetic management, whether residents take oral medications, require insulin injections, or need sliding-scale adjustments. Services are appropriate for individuals with moderate dementia, providing structure and close observation tailored to cognitive changes.

Continuous clinical oversight is built into daily operations. An RN or LPN is on staff around the clock, with a nurse available on site 24 hours a day and security personnel present at all times. On-site medication management helps residents stay on schedule and reduces outside appointments. Direct care staff can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from standby help for walker users to one- or two-person transfers and full-lift/Hoyer transfers when needed, enabling residents with limited mobility to remain safely in place.

Private and companion suites are available, though not every apartment includes every feature. Depending on the unit selected, residents may have in-room phone connections, Wi-Fi, or computer access. Many rooms look onto landscaped grounds, and some open to a porch or other outdoor areas. Resident parking is offered for those who still drive, and ample community parking accommodates visiting family members.

Meals follow a set menu developed to meet nutritional guidelines, with the kitchen able to provide physician-ordered diet modifications such as low-sodium or diabetic options. Staff assistance is available in the dining room for residents who need help cutting food, tracking carbohydrate counts, or cueing during meals, and full feeding support is on hand when required. Regular mealtime schedules and consistent menus help residents with memory loss anticipate routines and maintain adequate nutrition.

Residents have access to practical amenities including on-site resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, communal gardens, reliable internet access, and postal services. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
