Brookdale Hixson is an Assisted Living community that can also accommodate residents with moderate dementia conditions. The health program includes on-site physician oversight, 24-hour supervision, coordinated care with outside providers, diabetes management, a dedicated therapy room, physical and occupational therapy, and a structured mental-wellness program. Short-term respite stays are available when space permits, allowing families to take planned breaks while their loved ones receive the same medical and therapeutic support as full-time residents.
Care is delivered by an awake night-shift team, licensed nurses, therapists, and caregivers trained in wound care, medication management, incontinence care, memory care, and hospice support. Residents who need assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting can receive full help, and staff can perform transfers that involve walkers, wheelchairs, or standby supervision. An enclosed courtyard provides a secure setting for those who benefit from outdoor time, and pet-focused programs allow residents’ animals to be part of their daily routine under staff supervision.
Apartments range from studio and efficiency layouts to units with kitchenettes, private bathrooms with wheelchair-accessible showers, and options for in-unit washer and dryer. Basic features such as central air conditioning, phone hookups, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and flat-screen televisions are available in many—but not all—apartments, so it is important to verify specific features during a tour. Common areas include indoor lounges, a fireside living room, activity rooms, and multiple outdoor spaces like walking paths, decks, balconies, and gardens. Surface parking is available for residents and guests, and uncovered spaces accommodate those who still drive.
Dining services provide three daily meals with an all-day dining option for flexible schedules. Menus accommodate vegetarian, kosher, low- or no-sodium, no-sugar, and gluten-free requirements, and a dietitian oversees special therapeutic diets when ordered by a physician. Guest meals can be arranged so visiting family members can dine with residents without leaving the community.
Residents have access to a barber and beauty shop, a porch for casual seating, greenhouse and gardening areas, a therapy room, a piano, and a fireside living room, all protected by a 24-hour security system. Internet access is available throughout the building, and on-site resident parking simplifies moving in and out. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
