Brookhurst Cottage

Brookhurst Cottage sits on Brookhurst Street in Medford, Oregon, and the building itself was built in 2001, single-story, about 4,898 square feet, with a composition roof and block and pier foundation, vinyl window frames, no basement, and central air conditioning, and the electric heat pump helps keep everyone comfortable. Residents live in either private rooms-three of those-or five semi-private rooms, and most have their own full bath, which makes things a little easier, and the laminate floors are easy to move around on, and there are living and dining rooms, office space, a good-sized kitchen, and laundry facilities. Parking isn't a worry since there are eight spaces in the lot with asphalt. The place is set up as a residential care facility, licensed for 13 beds, so it's on the smaller side compared to some places, and staff follow a detailed care plan and service agreement for each person. Folks who live here have access to residential care and assisted living, meaning they get help with meals, housekeeping, personal care like grooming or mobility, and there's diabetic and incontinence care too, and if someone uses a walker or wheelchair, caregivers help with that. Brookhurst Cottage pays special attention to seniors with dementia or memory needs, holding a Medicaid license with a special endorsement for Alzheimer's and related disorders, and that means there's programming, group activities, and social spaces all meant to help everyone stay active and connected. Safety is important here, so smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are present, and the staff go through background checks, licenses, and certifications, while the facility gets inspected for licensing needs and sticks to a set ratio of caregivers to seniors. Residents can bring pets, so long as it's safe and allowed, and everyone shares access to community areas, and there's some neighborhood scenery out the windows. The main idea is to help people stay as independent as possible, with care available throughout the day, and staff handle both non-medical home care and support right at the facility, and they help with everything from meals to light housekeeping. Brookhurst Cottage isn't a large place, but it offers a steady routine, privacy, and attention for folks who want a quiet and comfortable home setting.
