Brookdale Anderson (al Closing) offers an Independent Living setting that is reinforced by readily available medical oversight. Residents who use oxygen, follow special diets, or manage diabetes with either oral medication or injections can receive attention from nursing staff trained in these areas. Mild dementia needs are accommodated, and the community can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting while encouraging residents to manage meals on their own whenever possible. Mobility support spans walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, and one-person transfers, so residents can safely move about the property without losing independence.
Around-the-clock clinical coverage backs up that medical focus. An RN or LPN is on staff, a nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and caregivers work an awake night shift. All employees undergo background checks. The building is secured with door alarms, pull cords in residences, and personal emergency response systems that send alerts directly to staff. A dedicated activity director coordinates daily programs, and on-site medical services include visiting podiatry as well as a therapy room offering physical, occupational, and speech therapy.
Residences come in several layouts, and not all units contain every feature. Many offer private bathrooms with step-in showers, built-in nightlights, and independent temperature controls. Select apartments include kitchenettes and cable service, and all receive routine housekeeping and scheduled laundry. For dining, the community serves three chef-prepared meals daily with both set menus and made-to-order options, along with anytime snacks. Dietary modifications such as mechanical-chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid meals are available.
Independent Living residents who prefer to cook can choose an apartment with a full kitchen, yet still enjoy the convenience of three daily meals in the dining room. Housekeeping and linen service are provided on a scheduled basis, freeing residents to pursue personal interests rather than home maintenance.
Amenities round out the lifestyle with resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and scheduled transportation that connects to nearby public transit. On campus, a barber and beauty shop, wellness center, library, game room, fitness center, sunroom, and courtyard give residents multiple places to spend time. Additional conveniences include a chapel that hosts on-site religious services, a bank, communal gardens, shuffleboard courts, an outdoor pool, internet access throughout the property, and an associated skilled nursing facility for higher-level care if ever needed. Veteran discounts are available for those who qualify.
