Brookdale Charleston Gardens delivers two primary levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—with clinical depth that targets residents who need consistent medical oversight. Licensed nurses coordinate directly with outside physicians and specialists, manage medications, and are supported by on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapists. The community accommodates residents with diabetes, incontinence, and moderate dementia, and it participates in both hospice and dementia waiver programs, allowing many people to remain in place even as needs increase. A dedicated mental wellness program, 24-hour supervision, and specialized memory care activities round out the medical platform, aiming to keep residents engaged while addressing cognitive changes.
Daily support tasks are available at a full-assistance level, including bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Caregivers are awake and on duty throughout the night, and transfer help is offered for individuals who use walkers or wheelchairs or who simply need standby assistance. An enclosed courtyard provides a secure outdoor space for Memory Care residents, while the broader campus offers ambulatory and hospice services when appropriate. Continuous safety checks, diabetes monitoring, and individualized care plans complete the facility’s service profile.
Living spaces range from studio apartments to efficiency units with kitchenettes, flat-screen televisions, and private or shared baths; some suites feature wheelchair-accessible showers and in-unit washers and dryers. Cable, Wi-Fi, central air, and resident parking are available, though not every accommodation includes every feature. The campus is pet-friendly, with outdoor walking paths, garden courtyards, and fireside common areas that give residents several spots to relax or entertain visitors.
Dining is led by a professional chef who offers three scheduled meals as well as an all-day dining menu. The kitchen can prepare guest meals and accommodate low-sodium, no-sugar, gluten-free, and other allergen-restricted diets. Snacks are available throughout the day, and seasonal barbecues or picnics are held when weather permits, providing variety without compromising nutritional guidelines.
Residents have access to on-site parking, concierge services, a barber and beauty shop, internet access, walking paths, and a therapy room; a community piano and the fireside living room serve as informal gathering spots. Pets are allowed, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. A pharmacy service streamlines prescription refills and helps keep medication management efficient.
