Brookside Glen Assisted Living and Memory Care sits in a quiet part of Columbus, GA, where residents stay in spacious apartments that let in plenty of light, and there are both private and semi-private rooms, so folks have choices about where they want to live, whether they want more privacy or to share space, and the apartments come with emergency call systems, private bathrooms, and choices for studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom, which can really help seniors feel at home. Staff stay available 24/7 to help with things like medication, bathing, dressing, meals, or just to give a friendly hand when someone needs it, and the place has strong safety features, including advanced security systems and emergency response protocols, which helps those facing issues like dementia or wandering risks, especially in the Memory Care suites where the environment stays secure and calm day and night. People eat chef-prepared meals together or in private, with menus made to fit special dietary needs and allergy concerns, and there's always plenty of food with Southern favorites, so everyone can find something they like, and if someone feels like eating at a different time, the restaurant-style dining makes that easy too.
The folks at Brookside Glen get to enjoy Wi-Fi around the place and can use the common spaces-a library, an arts room for painting or drawing, a lounge, a cozy sitting area around a fireplace, and even a porch with rocking chairs where people can chat or just watch the world go by, and if they need a haircut or just want some pampering, the onsite beauty and barber salon is handy. The activity calendar covers a lot, including fitness programs, arts and crafts, group games, educational workshops, spiritual services, movie nights, outings to local Columbus attractions, and walking paths and gardens if someone wants fresh air or a gentle stroll outside. Weston Group provides therapy onsite for those in Assisted Living, while the Memory Care program uses Enlighten therapy services focused on support for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, and special activities help reduce confusion or prevent wandering.
Housekeeping, laundry, prompt maintenance, and regular reminders for appointments or medication come standard, and with the concierge service, residents can easily get rides to appointments, shopping, or community events in the area. For health care, there's assistance for diabetes, non-ambulatory needs, and incontinence, so people can stay comfortable and cared for as their needs change. There's a one-time entry fee of $950, and the facility is licensed under the state with a set caregiver-to-resident ratio to make sure everyone gets attention and support. Overall, Brookside Glen offers assisted living, memory care, and some home health care, all in a setting that tries to make seniors feel both safe and engaged, with enough activities and comforts so each person can live life with a sense of belonging, whether they like to be active or just want a quiet spot to relax.
