Brookdale West University operates primarily as an independent-living community and does not provide specialized dementia care. On-site medical oversight includes scheduled podiatry visits and clinical review of each resident’s medication regimen, helping residents keep prescriptions current and taken as directed. Nurses coordinate with physicians and pharmacies, and routine wellness checks are available.

Staff complete background checks and staff the property around the clock. Emergency pull cords and personal emergency response systems alert team members at any time, and both the front and rear of the community are fenced for added control of access. An activity director plans daily programs, while direct-care aides can assist with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting for residents who request it. Residents who use walkers or wheelchairs receive transfer help as needed.

Apartments vary in size and layout. Many include a private bathroom, individual temperature controls, cable hookup, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Some units have full kitchens for residents who prefer to cook, while others rely on the community’s dining room; housekeeping is provided in all units. Because floor plans differ, not every accommodation contains every feature listed, so it is best to verify details during a tour.

Meals are available three times daily, with a standard menu and an on-order option for residents who want something different. Between meals, snacks are set out in common areas. The culinary team can adjust textures, portion sizes, sodium, sugar, and other dietary elements as directed by a physician or dietitian.

Amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, a beauty and barber shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, communal gardens, on-site religious services, a concierge desk, library, pool, community laundry rooms, varied lease terms, an on-site pharmacy, and scheduled transportation for appointments or shopping. The property is fully wheelchair accessible. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
