Brookdale Trail Ridge sits in Sun City West, Arizona, and offers assisted living and memory care for older adults who want some help but like having choices each day, and the place is all on one level with safety features like secure entrances, circular halls, and clear markers to help people get around, and there's a big, enclosed courtyard outside that's safe and well kept, so folks can get fresh air whenever they want. Staff are available 24 hours a day, which means help's close by if emergencies come up, and there's a nurse on staff along with RNs, LPNs, medication care managers, and techs to help with care needs, including things like giving injections, helping with mobility or hygiene, or watching over people who tend to wander, plus they let folks keep small pets like cats and dogs, which can be comforting, and allow outdoor smoking if that's important.
There's a strong memory care program called Clare Bridge and Solace, which gives structure and activities for all stages of dementia, helping folks stay active and maintain skills, and the care team works to build individual plans so everyone gets the help they really need, from diabetes support to handling tough behaviors or extra help with bathing. Brookdale Trail Ridge handles nearly all the basics, with meals-offering choices like vegetarian, low-sodium, or low-sugar diets-served restaurant-style or in residents' rooms, and there's a full activity schedule with games, fitness classes, art, gardening, trivia, and karaoke, aiming to keep both body and mind busy, and friends are welcome for guest meals.
Housekeeping, laundry, trash service, and home maintenance are covered, and concierge staff help with things like mail or finding a doctor, and they bring in visiting health pros such as nurses, dentists, and therapists if someone needs extra help right in their room. There's a beauty shop, library, indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxing, and single rooms or shared rooms, with memory care studios averaging about $5,190 a month and shared rooms at $4,225.
The whole place is pet-friendly, and they've got an emergency alert system in place for extra peace of mind, plus a secured memory care wing specially built for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia, so doors and garden spaces stay locked for safety but people can still walk freely inside. Brookdale Trail Ridge lets residents live in one spot as their needs change, so they can stay where they're comfortable, and they've got programs and events to help folks connect, stay social, and keep busy whether that's with devotional services, lectures, music, or just a card game with friends.
