Brookdale West University

Brookdale West University sits in a gated community that offers safety and security for its residents, and with 329 units and staff available day and night, people can find different living options here, including independent living for seniors who want convenience without needing help, assisted living for those who could use a hand with bathing, dressing, or medicines, memory care for adults living with Alzheimer's or other dementia where the environment helps prevent confusion and wandering, skilled nursing services for medical support, and continuing care so folks can stay in one place as their needs change over time. The apartments have kitchens with stainless steel appliances like dishwashers, along with ceiling fans, blinds, built-in shower seats, emergency pull cords, walk-in closets in some units, and WiFi as well as cable included, and there's also fiber optic cable and other utilities like water and electric included too. People can bring up to two pets (cats or dogs, under 25 pounds each and with breed rules) for an extra fee, and you'll often see folks walking their dogs on the grounds or heading over to the putting green or community garden to relax. The grounds have walking paths, gardens, a swimming pool, hot tub, courtyard, putting green, and assigned parking with covered options, plus guest parking, then inside there's a gym for exercise, activity rooms for games and arts, a computer room, a bistro café, dining rooms with restaurant-style meals through the Savory Expressions Dining Program, general store, laundry rooms (seven on-site), a lounge, entertainment venues, a business center, a library, and a hair salon. For keeping busy, the activities team runs programs like Matter of Balance, Cup of Conversation, Poetry & Prose, gardening, literary events, field trips, fitness classes like Tai Chi, and yoga, cultural outings, and there are regular games and arts and crafts too, and the resident ambassador system helps new folks get settled. Health-wise, the campus has a pharmacy, medication reminders, therapy and rehab services including physical therapy, and offers weekly housekeeping, maintenance, linen, and laundry service with responsive staff. People can use private transportation for medical visits, errands, or just getting out for fun, and there are on-site religious services and VA Aid Assistance for veterans. The community connects with local parks and the West University Senior Service, which brings more resources and events, and the whole place gets guidance from Senior Services Managers and Program Specialists focused on helping people live well every day. The buildings, built in 1998, are older but kept up with regular care, and the place aims to support active living, helping people stay fit, make friends, and enjoy daily life, all within the Brookdale Senior Living network, which means many services and extra help like the Brookdale at Home program for errands or pet care if needed.
