Brookdale Rotonda sits at 550 Rotonda Blvd W in the Rotonda West neighborhood and has a license #9182 as an assisted living community, offering 60 beds in a single-story building that's easy to get around for folks with mobility needs. The place serves as a continuing care retirement community, which means people can move in when they're independent and get more assistance as they need it, and they offer independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, nursing home, and even respite care for short stays, along with at-home care and hospice support. The building is designed for comfort and safety, with secure spaces and features for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's, emergency call systems in private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and walk-in closets, and it's got wheelchair accessible showers, full tubs, and staff around 24/7 who're always close by in case anyone needs help. Apartments come in different layouts, like Hawthorne I & II Suites, Richmond Suite, Townsend Suite, and Silverdale Suite, all aiming to give a bit of privacy and a lot of comfort.
Residents can bring pets, and there's room for them, and you see folks out in the indoor and outdoor common areas, courtyards, walking paths, and at the dining room with three restaurant-style meals a day, plus vegetarian options and meal substitutions if anyone has certain likes or needs. There's a community living room, a game area, a salon, a fitness room, and a residents' lounge for folks to relax or visit with family, and a beautician is right onsite to help with haircuts or trims. Brookdale Rotonda also has a library, and you'll often find residents enjoying social outings and events, engaging in recreational and wellness activities like B-Fit fitness or Brain Fit programs, and joining devotional or religious services either on or offsite. Activities schedules stay full with games, educational talks, and friendly gatherings aimed at keeping everyone active and social, and there's supportive counseling available, too.
The staff, described as attentive and kind, gets to know residents so care plans can be personalized for memory care or assisted living needs like bathing, dressing, and medication management. The memory care program is specific for people facing memory loss and comes with safe, secure settings and staff trained in dementia and Alzheimer's, providing therapy and structure for those who need it. For chores, there's housekeeping, laundry, and complimentary scheduled transportation to appointments or outings, while those who'd rather drive have resident parking outside. People can get their own personal items delivered, and with internet and cable or satellite TV in their rooms, there's a bit of normal modern comfort, too.
Brookdale Rotonda tries to promote independence and a healthy, connected life for seniors as they age in place, making sure each person has what they need to stay as active and independent as possible while being ready to help when days are hard. Their staff works all day, every day of the week, always aiming to be helpful, joyful, and present for both residents and visitors.
