Brookdale High Point North

Brookdale High Point North sits about 10 minutes from downtown High Point, NC, on a wooded lot called The Stratford, and it's a single-story building, which really helps people who may have trouble getting around because everything stays on one level, and the staff there really does care about the people who live in the community, which makes all the difference sometimes, and the living spaces have an elegant style, and there are private apartments in different sizes if you want a little more privacy or room for visitors or different needs, whether it's mini-private suites, studios, or bigger units with bathrooms, living areas, and kitchenettes, they have it all. The community is set up for independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even continuing care retirement, so no matter what kind of help a person needs-from active and healthy seniors who want to live hassle-free in a social place, all the way to people who may need help with bathing, dressing, medication, or even more specialized memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia-the staff supports them with compassion, and there are also skilled nursing and home care services, all under the Brookdale HealthPlus program, which means a registered nurse oversees care coordination, and aides can help folks at home, too, not just in the main building.

The building includes common areas like community living rooms with fireplaces and big windows, a dining room full of natural light for shared meals, and special rooms for arts and crafts, plus a dedicated activity room for fitness and other programs, and there's a library and sitting area for quiet time or reading, along with a salon for hair care, and a courtyard and outdoor spaces for sunshine and fresh air. Residents can bring their pets, and the place is set up for handicap accessibility and there's fast Wi-Fi throughout.

Brookdale High Point North gets recognized for providing welcoming environments and good care, with awards like Best of Senior Living and Most Friendly, but what really stands out is the focus on people's well-being, with the staff making individual care plans and checking in to adapt them as needs change. Preventative health care, like wellness visits and screenings, is included to try to cut down on hospital trips, and there's support for long-term conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure, with help for things like mobility, transferring, grooming, meals, dressing, and even picking what to wear if someone needs that level of attention. The activity calendar includes resident-led events and signature programs, so there's engagement and a sense of community, including arts, crafts, and fitness, and the staff aim to help residents stay as independent as possible in a safe, supportive environment, with respite services for those needing a short-term stay. The surroundings are home-like, comfortable, and set up so people can enjoy social time or privacy, whatever they prefer, with plenty of opportunities for companionship and care if they want it or need it, and the layout works well for anyone who wants to avoid stairs or long hallways. The whole community seems to strike a balance between independence, safety, and steady support, for people at many different stages of aging.

Brookdale High Point North is managed by Brookdale.

Brookdale's signature Clare Bridge program, developed over 30 years ago by dementia-care experts, provides specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care through two distinct levels: Clare Bridge communities for comprehensive memory support and the Clare Bridge Solace program for advanced-stage dementia residents. The program is recognized by the Alzheimer's Association® for incorporating evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations and features secure environments, enclosed courtyards, Daily Path programming with six structured activities daily, and the InTouch technology platform offering personalized brain-stimulating games and therapeutic content.
