Signature Senior Living sits right on the corner of Ocean Parkway and Foster Avenue in Brooklyn, easy to spot with its six-story building that looks out over the trees and Ocean Parkway, and when walking in, you'll see a big lobby with a baby grand piano and an oversized aquarium, and everything from the halls to the rooms feels fresh and newly renovated, with a hotel-like style that's made to feel welcoming and cozy all at once. The community has independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so you'll find seniors who can live on their own, those who need some help every day, and people with Alzheimer's or dementia who stay in a secure wing that's specially set up for their needs and has trained staff around always, and the staff is there 24 hours a day, with nurses on duty and a doctor on call if someone has a health problem or needs extra attention.
There are private suites with their own bathrooms, bedrooms set up with beds, dressers, and recliners, and some places to sit quietly, along with cable TV and private spaces, and the community takes care of daily housekeeping and does weekly laundry for residents. Meal service happens on site, with a dining room that serves gourmet Glatt Kosher meals, including kosher and vegetarian options, and there's a five-star feel to the setup that makes mealtimes comfortable and social. There's also an on-site shul with daily and Shabbos minyanim, so anyone who wants to pray with a group doesn't need to go far, and devotional services also happen right there or through organized outings for those who wish.
For care, Signature Senior Living offers memory care, respite care for short-term stays, regular assisted living, and even adult day care or home health care if needed, supporting a wide range of needs, whether someone just wants a bit of help every day or needs supervision and hands-on help like with insulin injections, diabetes management, medication reminders, assistance with grooming, or around-the-clock monitoring. They're able to help with things like transferring and have lifts for people who can't move easily on their own, and some specialized services also cover behavioral care for more challenging situations. A computerized system alerts the staff if someone tries to leave a safe area, and some residents wear bracelets that ring an alarm if they leave the grounds, so the property is secure, especially for folks with memory problems.
There's a variety of activities, from music programs to art in the arts room, movies in the theater, card and game rooms to pass the time, daily scheduled activities, fitness and wellness programs in the gym and spa, walking paths and garden spaces to get some air, and even resident-run events that help keep everyone active and social; there are plenty of options for people to join in, even those who might not always want to be around a big group, so most people have a chance to stay engaged if they want. Visiting therapists come in several times a week-podiatrists, dentists, therapists for speech, occupation, and mobility care-so you won't need to leave for every appointment, but if you do, drivers are on hand to take residents to medical visits, errands, or social outings, and transportation is scheduled for community trips too.
The building is equipped for comfort with wide hallways, handrails, elevators, and wheelchair accessible bathrooms and tubs, and there are lounge areas with sleek furniture but also soft touches to make the big rooms feel relaxing, a patio area, and a garden space outside when the weather is nice, so people can go outside without hassle. Staff encourage independence but make individual care plans for each resident, helping with anything from daily reminders to more intensive care, so many can age in place, staying in the same community even if needs change and extra services become necessary. Thanks to daily housekeeping, weekly laundry, in-house beautician and barber, a library, spa, and social outings, daily life stays comfortable and interesting.
Signature Senior Living has a central location in Brooklyn near the Prospect Expressway, combining easy access with a sense of privacy, and offers a choice for affordable yet luxurious independent senior homes along with the full range of assisted and memory care, so residents have options that fit both their needs and their lifestyle.
