Brookdale Santa Fe offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to choose the level of day-to-day support they need while remaining within the same community. Short-term stays and respite care are available for individuals recovering from illness or for families who need temporary help. Licensed nurses coordinate diabetes management, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy on site, reducing the need for outside appointments. Residents who require closer monitoring have access to incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, and medication management, and the community can arrange hospice services when needed.
The property is equipped with an emergency call system in each apartment and a full sprinkler system for fire safety. A clinical team that includes registered nurses, therapists, and a consulting podiatrist is available on a scheduled or as-needed basis. For residents living with memory impairment, a secured memory care area offers an enclosed courtyard that supports safe outdoor access. Pet-focused programs, laundry and dry-cleaning service, and regular diabetic screenings round out the medical and personal care offerings.
Accommodations range from studio and efficiency apartments to larger units that may include balconies, patios, or terraces. Some floor plans feature in-unit washers and dryers, while all have central air conditioning, cable or satellite TV access, Wi-Fi, and private phone connections. Residents can select covered or uncovered parking, and a guest suite is available for visiting family. Indoor common areas include meeting rooms, a billiards lounge, and postal services, while outside the building residents find landscaped grounds, courtyards, walking paths, a garden, deck, and other open-air sitting areas. Not every apartment includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.
Dining is covered by three daily meals plus an all-day dining option for flexible schedules. The culinary team prepares menus that accommodate kosher, vegetarian, low-sodium, and no-sugar preferences, as well as other physician-ordered diets. International dishes appear regularly, and healthy snacks are stocked throughout the day. Guests can purchase meals when visiting, allowing families to dine together without leaving campus.
Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, swimming pool, indoor walking paths, and a fitness program that supports the community’s broader health and wellness initiatives. Scheduled social outings, holiday parties, happy hours, trivia games, bingo, and TV or movie nights keep the calendar full. Creative pursuits take place in the arts and crafts center, where art classes and raised garden beds encourage hands-on projects. Live Well programs, clubs and special-interest communities, a game room with billiards, and a community piano round out the daily options for engagement.
