Brookdale Piqua offers a range of services for adults ages 55 and older, and you'll find everything from independent living and assisted living to memory care, skilled nursing, at-home care, and continuing care retirement options, which makes it handy for people who'd rather stay in one place as their needs change, and the staff are trained, friendly, and always around to help out any time of day or night, ready to respond in emergencies, plus there's an emergency alert system and keypad entries for peace of mind. Residents pick from studio up to two-bedroom private apartments with walk-in showers and wide doors for wheelchairs, and the building is pet-friendly and built to make life easier for people with disabilities; there's good Wi-Fi, free satellite TV, and plenty of places to get together like indoor and outdoor commons, a library, a garden patio, a TV lounge, and an enclosed courtyard, and folks often gather around the fireplace or relax with the piano or organ. The food service covers three meals a day in a restaurant-style setting with a professional chef, including any special diets like low-sodium, low-sugar, vegetarian, and room service is an option; guest meals are welcome too, and you can count on regular housecleaning, linen changes, and help with laundry or dry-cleaning.
Brookdale Piqua is straightforward about help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, toileting, mobility, and medication, plus therapy and pharmacy services, and aging in place options mean you don't need to move if your care needs change; the caregivers go through specialized training and craft person-centered care plans, which means support gets tailored to each person's preferences and health. There are many fun and skill-building activities, entertainment, classes, games, social groups, and many opportunities to make friends, and those who want spiritual support can find Protestant, Catholic, and LDS/Mormon services both onsite and off, with visiting chaplains stopping by. There's hospice care, respite stays for short-term help, parking for residents, and transportation for errands, appointments, or shopping-some of it free, some at cost.
Brookdale Piqua's memory care wing focuses on security and structure for people with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, using layouts and therapies aimed at keeping confusion or wandering to a minimum, and the senior living area gives more independent folks a low-stress, social environment with easy access to activities and the larger community. There's an at-home care agency onsite for those who need help but want more privacy, and there are skilled nursing services as well for medical needs. The setting feels homelike, smaller than some, which tends to give the staff more time for each resident, and accessible features like wheelchair-friendly showers, walking paths (inside and outside), an enclosed courtyard, and an emphasis on respecting residents' own choices mean people usually get the help they need without feeling crowded or rushed, and there's even a beauty salon, barber shop, computer room, and meeting room. Brookdale Piqua tries to support health and wellbeing for whatever journey of aging folks might be on, without making a fuss, and with a straightforward approach to care, comfort, and everyday life.
