Brookdale Reno is a dedicated memory care community designed to serve residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of cognitive decline. Licensed nurses and trained care associates are on site to monitor chronic conditions, with particular attention to diabetes management through blood-glucose checks, medication administration, and coordination with outside physicians. Care plans are kept current through routine assessments so changes in a resident’s condition can be addressed quickly.

Daily support covers the tasks most residents need to remain as independent as possible. Associates provide some physical assistance with bathing, dressing, and eating, while residents who can manage toileting on their own are encouraged to continue doing so. When transfers are needed, staff offer standby or supervisory help rather than full lifts, promoting mobility and safety without unnecessary restriction.

Accommodations include private and companion suites laid out to reduce confusion and support way-finding. Features such as individual climate controls, emergency call systems, and accessible bathrooms are available in many units, but not every apartment has every feature, so families should confirm details during a tour. Weekly housekeeping and linen services are included, and maintenance staff handle repairs to keep living spaces functional and secure.

Meals are prepared three times a day in a monitored dining room where menus can be adjusted to meet specialized diets, including carbohydrate-controlled options for residents with diabetes. Staff remain on hand for cueing or light physical help so residents can focus on eating at their own pace. Snacks and hydration stations are available throughout the day, and family members are encouraged to share feedback with the culinary team to help refine menu choices.

Residents have access to a range of practical amenities: a secured keypad entry system, an emergency alert network, on-site barber and beauty services, high-speed internet, and indoor spaces such as a piano area and an arts and crafts studio. Outdoor features include landscaped grounds, communal gardens, walking paths, and a shaded porch that provide safe settings for fresh air and supervised strolls. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
