Brookdale Sherwood in Odessa, Texas provides both Assisted Living and Independent Living, giving residents the option to choose the level of day-to-day support they need while remaining in the same community. For those living with moderate dementia, the staff is prepared to offer additional structure and oversight. A full clinical team—including a doctor, nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists—handles routine health management as well as specialized services such as wound care, diabetic oversight, and hospice care. Short-term respite stays are available, and 24-hour staffing ensures there is continuous access to care.
An awake night-shift staff adds another layer of safety, and medication management is handled on-site. Residents who need help with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting can receive full assistance, and transfer support is available for those using walkers or wheelchairs or who require standby supervision. On-site podiatry, ambulatory care, and incontinence services limit the need for outside appointments. Laundry and dry-cleaning services, coupled with regular monitoring for changes in condition, help residents maintain their routines with minimal disruption.
Accommodations range from studio and efficiency apartments to ground-floor units; some include kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, washer and dryer, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and central air. Not every apartment has every feature, so prospective residents should confirm individual specifications during their visit. Common areas feature indoor and outdoor seating, a fireside living room, central fireplace, courtyard and garden, and accessible walking paths. Housekeeping and maintenance are provided, and on-site parking is available for residents who still drive.
Dining follows an all-day, restaurant-style schedule, letting residents choose when and what they eat. The culinary team prepares standard meals, low-sodium or no-sugar menus, vegetarian options, and gluten-free selections. International dishes, barbecues, and picnics add variety, and kosher meals can be arranged. Family and friends may join residents at mealtime through the guest-meal program.
Additional amenities include an on-site barber and beauty shop, communal gardens, and regular religious services offered within the community. These services aim to cover routine personal needs and spiritual preferences without residents having to leave the property.
