Brookdale New Bern provides an assisted-living setting designed to deliver daily support alongside a broad range of medical services. Residents who need help managing moderate dementia, diabetes, mobility issues or communication challenges have access to on-site physical therapy, speech therapy and a structured mental-wellness program. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is always on the premises, and nursing coverage extends at least 12 hours each day to handle medication management, wound care and hospice coordination when necessary.

Around-the-clock staffing and a 24-hour security presence back up the clinical services. Team members can give full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing and toileting, and they are trained to handle incontinence care, ambulatory support and diabetic monitoring. Transfer help is available whether a resident uses a walker, a wheelchair or only requires standby supervision. Occupational and physical therapists rotate through the community, and the pet-focused program ensures animals involved in therapy plans are considered part of the care approach.

Apartments are designed for ease of movement and may include private bathrooms, housekeeping and scheduled laundry services; not every unit contains every feature, so confirming specifics during a tour is recommended. Staff members handle linen changes and can add extra cleaning services if individual health plans call for them.

Dining is managed through a set menu that offers three daily meals, plus snacks that are available throughout the day. The culinary team accommodates diet modifications such as carbohydrate-controlled plans for diabetes management or texture adjustments for residents working with speech therapy.

Residents can use on-site amenities such as resident parking, communal gardens, a library, internet access, meeting rooms and an arts and crafts studio. A barber and beauty shop, postal services, keypad entry and a 24-hour security system add practical convenience, while scheduled transportation supports medical appointments and local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
