Brookdale Chapel Hill is structured around a Memory Care program that supports residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Families can arrange respite or short-term stays, giving caregivers a break while ensuring their loved ones receive consistent attention. On-site resources include a therapy room for rehabilitative sessions, routine diabetes care management, access to a visiting or on-staff doctor for medical oversight, and speech therapy services for residents who need help with communication or swallowing issues.
To back up this clinical support, the community maintains an emergency call system in each residence and common area, linked to staff who are available around the clock. A 24-hour security system monitors entry points and shared spaces, so residents remain safe while moving about the building and grounds.
Accommodations range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger suites, and not every unit contains every listed feature. Some apartments offer a kitchenette for light meal prep, while others come fully furnished and ready for personal décor, including the option to paint walls. Select residences feature fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, wall-to-wall carpet, or private patios leading to courtyard and garden areas. Cable, Wi-Fi, central air conditioning, housekeeping, postal services, and access to shared spaces such as a fireside living room, library/computer lounge, community room, and walking paths are available. Cats are allowed, and the campus maintains pet-friendly policies in designated areas.
Dining is provided three times daily, with a blend of chef-selected menus and made-to-order options. Residents who require diabetes, low-sodium, or no-sugar meal plans can receive those modifications without extra cost. Healthy snacks are stocked throughout the day, and the staff can arrange room service for those who prefer to eat privately. A café-bistro offers lighter fare, while occasional barbecues and picnics let residents eat outdoors with family or friends. Guests are welcome to join meals for a modest fee.
Recreational and wellness programming includes an activity center, swimming pool, clubs, fitness classes, arts and crafts, yoga, TV and movie nights, bingo, and other social events. Residents participate in health and wellness sessions, Live Well initiatives, day trips, community service projects, and organized social outings that encourage engagement with Chapel Hill and surrounding areas.
