Brookdale Shelby is an assisted living community that accepts residents with moderate dementia and offers an extensive range of clinical options. In addition to routine wellness monitoring, the community provides diabetes care, wound care, hospice care, ambulatory care and medication management. Residents have access to an on-site physician, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and a 24-hour on-site nurse for timely intervention. Physical, occupational and speech therapists use the community’s dedicated therapy room, and short-term respite stays are available for those recovering from illness or surgery.

Daily support services cover every major activity of daily living. Staff can deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and they can help residents transfer with a walker, wheelchair or standby supervision. Incontinence management, laundry and dry-cleaning services, and scheduled nursing assessments are included. Security measures such as 24-hour staffing and a secured entry system help protect residents with cognitive impairment.

Accommodations include studio and one-bedroom layouts; some feature private bathrooms, and all receive regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry services, though residents should confirm the exact features of the unit they are considering. Climate controls and emergency call systems are standard, and maintenance requests are handled by on-site personnel.

Meals follow a set menu with rotating selections prepared to accommodate dietary modifications such as low-sugar or low-sodium options. Snacks are available throughout the day, and staff can assist those who need help cutting food or maintaining proper nutrition. The dining room offers open seating to encourage social interaction, and room-service style delivery can be arranged when a resident is unwell.

Residents have access to an exercise room, whirlpool, arts and crafts studio, therapy room, communal gardens, café/bistro, library and a full-service barber and beauty shop. Other conveniences include resident parking, on-site pharmacy, postal services, internet access, a 24-hour security system, keypad entry and scheduled transportation for medical appointments or local outings.
