Brookside Senior Living Comm sits at the base of the Adirondack Mountains, surrounded by open fields and farms, and has an intimate feeling with 45 patio apartments in one- and two-bedroom floor plans from 525 to 1,100 square feet, along with other choices like senior apartments, condos, congregate apartments, duplexes, and cottage homes so adults over 62 can pick what works best for them and live as independently as possible. Residents can count on safety with home security features, walk-in tubs, medication dispensers, a 24-hour emergency response system in every apartment, and ID theft protection. The apartments include cable TV and internet, and seniors get access to simple technology like senior cell phones, tailored internet plans, and special hearing aid resources, which helps keep everyone connected. Brookside has a community library, a woodworking shop, garden areas-including a plot of soil ready for growing vegetables-a hair salon, guest room, indoor shuffleboard court, and private rooms that residents can use to entertain friends and family, giving folks plenty to do if they like to stay busy. Residents enjoy nutritious chef-prepared meals served restaurant-style and get personal and linen laundry service, biweekly housekeeping, and some clerical help, all while having main chores like lawn care taken care of.
The staff keeps an eye out for everyone's well-being with daily morning checks and weekly nurse visits, which gives families peace of mind, and the community stands out for how the helpers, joyful and kind, add to the friendly feeling here. Seniors can find help with transportation, car maintenance, scheduled local rides, and home care services that include companions and aides who can help right at home. There are also memory care services for dementia and Alzheimer's, plus options for people who need extra support through assisted living or even nursing care. Guides and reviews for medical alert systems like Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert are available, which helps residents stay safe and informed. Wellness is a focus, with programs that bring social, physical, mental, and spiritual opportunities, and the Christian atmosphere encourages fellowship and a sense of security among neighbors who want that experience. Brookside's team helps families with long-term care planning, insurance questions, and caregiving guidance, and every month the Brookside Chatter newsletter keeps everyone in the loop with news and updates. People who want to learn more about the friendly community, its housing choices, and the resident life services-which cover meals, laundry, emergency response, social activities, and reliable staff-can arrange for a tour any time to see things firsthand, and families often mention how the range of choices here helps seniors feel dignified and engaged as they enjoy their later years. Brookside Senior Living Comm has received recognition as a Best of Senior Living All Star and for communities with exceptional care and support by gathering many positive reviews in 2024, which goes to show there's a lot of value in the care, safety, and sense of purpose the community tries to provide for seniors in a peaceful rural setting.
