Brookdale San Marcos North

Brookdale San Marcos North sits in a quiet country setting near the San Marcos River with parks, shopping, dining, and entertainment close by, and with apartment homes that come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, each with kitchenettes and large bay windows, people find both comfort and privacy. Staff stay on site all day and night, every day of the week, so someone's always there in case of emergency, and the place uses an emergency call system. The community helps older adults who need help with daily life, and offers different levels of care, including assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, and skilled nursing, plus care that can change as people's needs change, so there's no need to move elsewhere if more help is needed.

People can keep busy with things like arts and crafts, games, music, exercise classes, organized hobbies, and community outings, and there are both indoor and outdoor spots to gather, like the living room with a fireplace, a backyard garden with birds and deer, a library, and a salon for personal grooming. Meals are served in dining rooms with room service and guest meals available, and the staff handle cooking, cleaning, and laundry. For wellbeing, there are exercise and wellness programs, Tai Chi, and nutrition consulting; health services like medication reminders; physical therapy and rehabilitation; counseling; therapy; and nursing staff on site part-time. Each resident has a care plan tailored to their needs, whether they need basic help or advanced care and memory support, and the team offers family and caregiver support too.

There's transportation help for errands, shopping, and appointments, and programs for education, vocational rehabilitation, and employment services. Disability screening, assistive technology, and equipment help those with mobility or health needs, and the community works to cover all areas of wellness: emotional, spiritual, intellectual, social, vocational, and physical. Pets are welcome, and pet therapy happens on-site. Residents can take part in religious services, use Wi-Fi or cable TV, and parking is included in rent. The facility has licensing with Facility ID: 050254 and License No.: 147420 / 149833. Brookdale Blogs, community events, signature programs, and regular activities help keep people connected. The community wants to help residents live well throughout every stage of aging, with personalized service and round-the-clock support in a peaceful environment.

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.
