The Bradford At Brookside operates as a nursing home that is equipped to manage residents with complex medical needs. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock, assisted by certified nursing aides who monitor vital signs, administer medications, and coordinate with physicians for ongoing treatment plans. Short-term respite care is available, giving family caregivers a break while ensuring the individual receives the same skilled oversight as long-term residents. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists provide scheduled rehabilitation sessions in collaboration with the medical team, and care plans are reviewed regularly to adjust to changing health conditions.
Beyond direct medical oversight, the community delivers daily living support that includes assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility. An on-site pharmacy service streamlines prescription refills, while laboratory and diagnostic services are arranged as needed to minimize off-site appointments. The staff coordinates hospital transfers when necessary and ensures a structured discharge plan for residents returning from inpatient stays. Emergency call systems in resident rooms link directly to the nursing station, and safety checks are performed throughout the day and night.
Accommodations range from studio and efficiency layouts, each designed to support accessibility and safety. Some units are equipped with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and direct access to outdoor areas, while others may not include every feature; availability depends on the specific apartment selected. Housekeeping services are provided on a routine schedule, and maintenance staff handle repairs to keep spaces functional and clean.
Meals are prepared by the culinary team and served in a communal dining room with seating assistance for those who need it. Residents receive three balanced meals each day, with snacks available between service times. Therapeutic diets such as low-sodium or diabetic menus are arranged through the dietary manager in consultation with nursing staff, and meal textures can be modified for residents with swallowing difficulties.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts exercise classes, art projects, and group games scheduled throughout the week. A library and computer lounge offers a quiet place to read, browse the internet, or video-chat with family. Structured social outings into Livingston and the surrounding area provide additional engagement, whether for shopping trips, local events, or scenic drives, with transportation and staff support included.
