Brookdale Cape Coral, also called Alterra in Cape Coral, offers seniors a comfortable community with various levels of support. Residents here find assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, memory care, and adult day care options, all on the same campus, which helps people age in place without having to move when care needs change. The staff stays on site and ready to help 24 hours a day, whether with simple things like getting dressed, bathing, medication management, or in case of emergencies, and caregivers work hard to give every resident kindness and respect while helping them stay as independent as possible.
The community features private apartments and suites like the Hawthorne, Richmond, Townsend, and Silverdale Suites, each with private bathrooms, walk-in closets, emergency call systems, and wheelchair accessible showers. Residents can use common areas such as the library, media room with computers and a roll-top desk, a sunroom, and quiet places with soft lighting and comfortable chairs for visiting or relaxing. The dining areas, private and communal, are well-lit and have big windows for natural light, and meals are made with care using appealing ingredients.
Security and safety are important, so there's keypad entry and an emergency system. For those who like the outdoors, there's a courtyard with palm trees, walking paths, and a screened lanai, plus gardening and greenhouse spaces to enjoy. Inside, there are spaces for games, a bingo cage in the game room, and activities that encourage socializing with others. Scheduled outings, events, and on-site devotional services are part of daily life. Pets are allowed, and the community keeps things comfortable and friendly.
Brookdale Cape Coral offers specialized memory care for adults living with Alzheimer's and dementia, with features designed to keep residents safe from confusion or wandering. There are skilled nursing services for residents needing higher levels of care and structured care programs that adjust as residents' needs change. Hospice and respite care are also available to support families during times of greater need.
Residents can get help with laundry, housekeeping, and meal preparation, and the community provides complimentary or cost-based transportation to help residents stay active and independent. There's an on-site salon with all the basics, plus at-home care services available for those still in private homes but needing help and companionship from trained aides. Social, educational, and entertaining programs run regularly to give everyone a chance to stay engaged mentally and physically. The staff here works to understand each person's needs and adapts care plans as things change, focusing on keeping people comfortable, active, and living well at every stage.
