Brookdale Cape May offers a single level of care—Assisted Living—supported by a range of medical services designed to help residents maintain health and independence. On-site or scheduled physical therapy is available for strength and mobility, while respite or short-term stays give caregivers a break and allow prospective residents to sample life in the community. Nurses and caregivers receive specialized memory-care training, enabling them to recognize and respond to cognitive changes even though the setting is licensed for assisted living. Diabetes management, a structured mental wellness program, and access to an attending or visiting doctor round out the medical support residents can expect.
Safety measures back up that clinical focus. The community is secured, and every apartment is equipped with an emergency response system connected to staff around the clock. Pull cords, pendants, or wall-mounted call buttons are available to summon help quickly. Sprinkler systems are installed throughout the building, and routine drills reinforce preparedness. These features combine to create an environment where residents and their families can feel confident about day-to-day security.
Apartments range from studio and efficiency layouts to units with kitchenettes, and each includes a private bathroom with sink and toilet; many feature wheelchair-accessible showers. High-speed Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, central air conditioning, and phone connections are available, although not every unit contains every option. Ground-floor and fully handicap-accessible apartments can be requested, and some layouts include washers and dryers. Indoor common areas such as a fireside living room, library and computer lounge, and surface parking for residents add convenience, while landscaped grounds, walking paths, and garden areas offer outdoor space. Cats are allowed, subject to community policies.
Dining follows a restaurant-style model with three daily meals, but anytime or all-day dining is also offered for residents who prefer flexible schedules. The culinary team provides set menus alongside special diet accommodations such as low-sodium, no-added-sugar, gluten-free, vegetarian, and kosher options. Guest meals can be arranged, and a café/bistro serves lighter fare between main dining periods. Diet modifications are managed in collaboration with clinical staff to support individual health plans.
Residents have access to a variety of programs that encourage social, physical, and cognitive engagement. Choices include arts and crafts sessions, yoga, fitness classes, and broader health-and-wellness programs. Reminiscence groups and intergenerational visits support memory and social connection, while birthday parties, dances, and clubs foster a sense of community. An activity center hosts cooking classes, trivia games, and educational speakers, and scheduled social outings take residents off-site for shopping or cultural events. A swimming pool, piano for casual or planned performances, and structured clubs and communities round out the amenity set.
