Brookdale Colonial Heights

Brookdale Colonial Heights provides a mix of independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement community options on one campus with two levels of care, so residents can move between services as their needs change, and the place has private bedrooms and different floorplans for various preferences, whether you want a cozy suite with a comfortable bed and cozy armchair or something with a little more space, and each suite can have a kitchenette, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and room décor to make it feel like home, while the whole community offers spacious living rooms, activity rooms, and inviting dining rooms where residents enjoy three meals daily, and there's always food available in the kitchen and a private dining space for family visits if someone comes by.

You'll find several shared spaces like a library full of books, a game room with pool tables and bookshelves, activity rooms with puzzles and tables, a therapy room with equipment such as therapy tables and bikes, and a salon with hair dryers and comfortable chairs so people can stay well-groomed, and there's a family room, an aviary to watch birds, and outdoor areas including walking paths, a garden, patios, and outdoor seating for light exercise or sunshine, and pets are allowed, though no large dogs, so people can keep their smaller companions close. The community provides a steady schedule of social, educational, and recreational activities-there are walking clubs, group outings, movie nights, card games, dinner gatherings, crafting, music sessions, horticultural groups, and even tours for newcomers to settle in easier.

Residents can get help with cooking, cleaning, laundry, bathing, dressing, grooming, medication reminders, and continence management, and a nurse is on-call 24 hours with trained staff available day and night for emergencies, mobility support, and to help with daily needs, with staff who focus on ethics, memory care, and safe driving. For individuals facing Alzheimer's or dementia, the memory care area has plush seating, lots of light, outdoor access, and special wellness plans featuring brain activities and specialized staff who help residents stay safe, engaged, and as independent as possible, and personalized care plans help each person get what they need, whether it's more privacy or a little extra help, and people who need rehabilitation can use the therapy room for occupational and physical therapy, and for those needing short-term support or hospice care, respite and health services are available right on site.

Parking is plentiful for residents and guests, and scheduled transportation helps people get to appointments, outings, or shopping without added stress, so there's no need to worry about staying active or connected to the outside world, and routine housekeeping and linen changes help everyone stay comfortable without chores piling up. Meal plans can be adjusted for health needs such as diabetic, low fat, low salt, or vegetarian diets, and dietary options are part of helping everyone stay well. The community offers religious services, events, and programs, and staff are compassionate and work to make days easier, with a focus on wellness and creating a home-like place where privacy's respected, but friendships and social interaction are encouraged.

The campus offers amenities like fitness rooms, wellness programs, salon services, a library, and a recreation room, and has safety features and health services that include psychiatric care, medication management, and at-home care options for those who live a little more independently, plus financial guidance and all-inclusive rent options that can help families plan. Brookdale Colonial Heights encourages residents to thrive at their own pace, supporting aging in place and adjusting services as life changes, and all the while, the rooms and common spaces are kept clean and well cared for, with friendly staff and a welcoming environment that's designed to be a second home, and people are welcome to take a tour to see the place in person if they want a better sense of the community.

Founded in 1978 and publicly traded since 2005, Brookdale solidified its market leadership through major acquisitions including American Retirement Corporation (2006) and Emeritus Senior Living (2014), making it the only national full-spectrum senior living company.

The company's comprehensive care continuum includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). 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.
