Brookdale Lake Ridge is a senior living community that offers different levels of care like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement services, all in one place so folks don't have to move if their needs change. The community has a purpose-built design, a secured property for memory care, and a free-standing layout. Memory Care has its own building with special technology like bracelets to help prevent wandering, which can be a real worry for anyone dealing with dementia or Alzheimer's. The community's living spaces include suites, private rooms, and semi-private rooms. There's restaurant-style dining, a private dining room for having guests over, and meal services that include vegetarian, vegan, and special diets. Indoor and outdoor common areas are set up for residents to enjoy, and the beauty and barber shop is right on the property.
Brookdale Lake Ridge has specialized services for different needs, such as standby assistance, help with one or two-person transfers, and even mechanical lifts for folks who need them. There's a team on-site 24 hours a day with nurses, LPNs, medication care managers, and a medical director, plus a doctor on call, so the level of care can match what's needed at any time. Residents can see visiting healthcare professionals like dentists, podiatrists, and different therapists for physical, occupational, and speech support. Staff can handle medication reminders, medication administration, injections, and general health monitoring. They accept residents with advanced needs, including those prone to wandering or difficult behaviors, and can support those needing behavioral care or higher-level skilled nursing.
This place isn't short on activities or things to do, either, with art and brain fitness classes, yoga, stretching, community service programs, educational lectures, intergenerational events, outings, trivia, Wii bowling, wine tasting, and devotional services. Memory care activities focus on including all residents. Pets are welcome with their pet-friendly policy, so dogs and cats can stay with their owners. Residents have access to wheelchair accessible showers, parking, and complimentary transportation for getting around.
Brookdale Lake Ridge offers beautician services, hospice, respite care, counseling, and aging-in-place options for people who want to stay in one home. The community has several floor plans to choose from and supports progressive levels of care, so residents can get more help without moving out. The grounds have spaces set up for safety and comfort, with a focus on the overall well-being and quality of life for each person. Staff help with reminders, supervision, and daily activities, and are always present in case of emergencies. There's a website with more information, and families or residents can schedule tours to see the place for themselves. Brookdale Blogs and community events help keep everyone connected.
