Brookdale Medical Center Kingsley offers assisted living focused on residents who need consistent clinical oversight. The community is equipped to support individuals who wander day or night, present elopement risks, or have behavioral or combative tendencies. Advanced dementia care is available, and staff manage complex health needs such as wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and diabetes management—whether residents use oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The team also accepts residents under 60 when the medical profile fits the community’s scope of practice.
A licensed nurse is on-site and another is on call around the clock. All staff undergo background checks, and an awake night shift monitors pull-cord alerts, fenced outdoor spaces, and 24-hour security coverage. Podiatry services are provided in-house, and an activity director coordinates structured programming to support cognition and mobility. Caregivers offer full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they can perform transfers ranging from stand-by help with a walker to two-person or full Hoyer lift moves for bed-bound residents.
Apartments are designed for varying levels of independence. Some units feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, cable access, and the option to paint or decorate; however, not every apartment includes every amenity. Independent living residents may opt for medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan while retaining more autonomy than those in assisted living.
Meals are served restaurant-style with both set menus and made-to-order options. Therapeutic diets, carbohydrate counting, and other physician-ordered modifications are managed by culinary and nursing staff so diabetic and special-diet residents receive accurate portions and timing.
The campus offers resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a movie room, a wellness center, and communitywide internet access. Scheduled transportation is available, and the property is close to public transit for families and residents who prefer independent travel. Outdoor smoking is permitted in designated areas, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
