Brookdale McCook offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who prefer a more autonomous lifestyle can choose an independent living plan and add services only as needed, while those who require regular assistance can opt for the assisted living program. Short-term respite stays are available, and the staff is trained to support diabetes management as well as moderate dementia conditions.
Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on staff, and a nurse is on-site around the clock. Security is also staffed 24/7. On-site medical services include incontinence and ambulatory care, medication management, and a dedicated memory care program. Care team members can provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer support is available for residents who use walkers, wheelchairs, or need standby supervision.
Apartments feature a kitchenette for light meal preparation and snack storage, although not every unit includes the same configuration or square footage. Emergency call systems, individual climate controls, and step-in showers are standard in many apartments, but specific features vary by floor plan, so it is important to confirm details during a tour.
Meals are served from a set menu in the community dining room, and the culinary staff accommodates physician-ordered diet modifications, including low-sugar and low-sodium plans. Residents who prefer to prepare simple foods can do so in their kitchenettes, while still relying on the main dining room for balanced, chef-prepared meals.
The community offers resident parking, an on-site barber and beauty shop, an exercise room with scheduled classes, and high-speed internet access throughout the building. Residents can enjoy landscaped communal gardens, on-site religious services, an ice cream parlor, guest suites for visitors, a library, a therapy room, and an arts and crafts studio. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
