Brookdale New Braunfels is an assisted living community designed to serve residents who may need help with daily activities while still valuing independence. The staff is prepared to care for residents who wander during the day or night, who are awake overnight, who require wound care, oxygen support, special diets, diabetes management with oral medications or injections, or who are under 60 years old. The community is also equipped to support residents with moderate dementia, offering consistent monitoring and care tailored to cognitive needs.
Around-the-clock health oversight is delivered through a licensed nurse on site and a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Every caregiver passes background checks, works under an awake night shift, and is guided by an activity director to keep residents engaged. Safety measures include door alarms, a fenced rear area, pull-cord alert systems, and continuous staffing. On-site podiatry and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses broaden the medical scope. Help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting can be provided at the full-assistance level, and the team can handle mobility ranging from simple standby support to two-person transfers for wheelchair users.
Living spaces vary, so not every apartment includes the same features, but options can include a private bathroom, individual temperature controls, cable access, and the freedom to paint or decorate the room. Residents can furnish their apartments with personal items to create a familiar setting while the staff maintains routine housekeeping and maintenance.
Meals are prepared daily with both a set menu and on-order selections, allowing residents to exercise choice while ensuring nutrition standards are met. Snacks are always available, and the culinary team works with clinical staff to accommodate physician-ordered diet modifications or management plans such as low-sugar, low-salt, or texture-altered meals.
The community offers resident parking, is wheelchair accessible, and welcomes pets; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. On-site amenities include a barber and beauty shop, movie room, wellness center, internet access, and religious services. Scheduled transportation, plus proximity to public transit, helps residents reach medical appointments or local destinations without hassle.
