Brookdale Harrisonburg is a senior living community with 54 apartments all on one floor, offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care. The staff and residents treat each other like family, showing compassion, respect, and support every day, and the leadership team brings over 55 years of experience in long-term care. Residents get personalized care through a service plan that's updated in regular care conferences, and families are encouraged to take part in care planning, either in person or by phone. The team uses a resident assessment tool to track needs and preferences and makes changes based on ongoing feedback. Assisted living services help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and managing medications, and staff are on site 24 hours a day, including nurses and a full-time activity director.
For those who need more support, the community offers advanced care, including hospice services, diabetic and incontinence care, and help for residents who might wander or have physically acting out behaviors. The separate, purpose-built memory care building keeps residents with Alzheimer's and dementia safe, using secure entrances, monitored bracelets, and calm indoor areas designed to lower confusion and stress. The staff prepares personalized memory care plans, offers brain fitness activities, and organizes social programs. Every resident can enjoy amenities like restaurant-style dining, meals from professional chefs, an onsite salon, raised flower and vegetable beds, and outdoor patios with walking paths and gardens. Residents can also bring their cats or dogs, and there's complimentary transportation for appointments or outings.
The apartments have private bathrooms, and choices include studio or semi-private rooms, and every apartment is easy to access since there are no stairs. Residents spend time in common areas like the living room, library, enclosed sunrooms with views of the Blue Ridge and Massanutten mountains, and a dining room with big glass windows and a cozy fireplace. Wellness and activity programs include stretching, yoga, art, cooking classes, gardening, and intergenerational events. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available, along with regular visits from nurses. The facility provides monitored entrances for safety, emergency call systems, and high-speed internet. The community also offers skilled nursing, respite care, home care services, and continuing care options for changing needs.
