West Mark, formerly Brookdale, offers Assisted Living designed to accommodate residents who need everyday support while coping with complex medical profiles. Care teams are trained to work with residents who wander during the day or night, exhibit combative or other challenging behaviors, stay awake through the night, require wound care, oxygen therapy, or oral-medication diabetic management, and those living with advanced dementia.
Additional safeguards back up this clinical care. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Background-checked caregivers stay awake on the night shift, and the community maintains 24-hour staffing and security with door alarms and in-room pull cords that alert staff. Full-assistance help is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility needs are addressed through standby help, one- or two-person transfers, walkers, wheelchairs, and full-transfer or Hoyer lift support. Podiatry services are provided on-site, reducing the need for outside appointments.
Residential options range from studios to larger layouts. Some suites include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service, and residents can paint or decorate their rooms; however, not every accommodation includes every feature. Independent-living residents on the same campus have access to medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan.
Meals in Assisted Living are served three times daily. Residents choose from a set menu or order alternate selections, and the kitchen accommodates physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Independent-living participants may opt into the monthly meal program but can also prepare food in their own kitchenettes if desired.
On the lifestyle side, West Mark supplies resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, and scheduled transportation, while the property is also close to public transit. Internet access is available, and there is an on-site barber and beauty shop as well as regular religious services. Outdoor smoking areas are designated, 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.
