Common areas include a cozy lobby, lounge, and TV room with fireplaces and comfortable seating, plus a library, salon, chapel with a piano and fireplace, recreation and game rooms, a movie theater, and a salon and barber shop. Residents can follow walking paths or relax in the courtyard, porch, or garden, with shaded areas including white rocking chairs out front, and pet therapy and pet-friendly rules add a comforting touch for animal lovers. Social and activity programs keep people engaged, with options for crafts, events, worship, and outings, and meals get served in large, well-lit dining spaces with a restaurant-style atmosphere, even offering allergy-friendly menus like low-sodium or low-sugar. Seniors can choose from several apartment layouts, like studios, alcoves, or one-bedroom spaces, with private bathrooms and wheelchair accessible showers. There's Wi-Fi, free cable TV, and residents can get help with personal care and health services, including medication management, some nursing (12-16 hours per day), and even hospice or respite care if needed, and all the while the staff aim to let people keep as much independence as possible. Amenities also include a café, bistro, fitness room, arts and crafts center, resident parking, and extra features like guest meals, laundry/dry cleaning, and housekeeping, and a 24-hour call system for quick help. Brookdale Sherwood's community score rating system helps with feedback, and coordination with outside health care providers means support extends beyond the building if needed. There's support for spiritual needs, with devotional services and visiting chaplains, and the grounds are landscaped with outdoor walkways and relaxing gardens. The staff focus on giving attention to personal needs, with programs and common spaces that encourage socializing, and the aim centers on comfort, safety, and helping each resident live as well and as independently as possible. People can request tours to get a better idea of daily life in the community.
