Brookdale Vancouver Stonebridge provides a memory-care only setting that is specifically designed to accommodate residents with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. The team is prepared to manage residents who wander during the day or night, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, remain awake overnight, require oxygen, are under 60, or have diabetes managed by oral medication or insulin injections. Every resident’s medication is overseen by licensed nursing staff, and hospice services are available when needed.
Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and awake night-shift caregivers remain on site around the clock, backed by door alarms, perimeter fencing and 24-hour security. Residents have access to physical therapy, occupational therapy, podiatry and incontinence management without leaving the community. Staff can deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and they are trained to perform transfers ranging from simple standby help to two-person or mechanical Hoyer lifts for bed-bound individuals.
Private rooms are available that may include their own bathroom, independent temperature controls, cable service and the option for residents or families to paint or decorate. Not every room contains every feature, so confirming specific details during a visit is recommended.
Meals follow a set menu with planned variations for texture or dietary needs such as diabetic or low-salt preparations. Staff members can provide full feeding assistance for residents who require it, and snacks are kept on hand throughout the day and night.
Amenities include outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty salon, a movie room, community internet access, landscaped gardens, on-site religious services, and escorted walks outside the property. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and personal errands.
