You can live well and age well when you come home to Brookdale Shoals, a senior living community in Muscle Shoals, Ala. Our community offers assisted living and Alzheimer s and dementia care, so should your needs change over time, and you require memory care, you have the security of knowing you can remain here, in your home, without leaving familiar surroundings and close friendships.
As an assisted living resident, you have the time and opportunity to re-ignite an old passion or find a new one, boost your mental and physical fitness or take exciting excursions with friends. Our memory care residents benefit from a person-centered approach focused on creating feelings of belonging and purpose, while seeking to preserve their identity and sense of self. And there s always the security of knowing that our staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency.
As an assisted living resident, your job is to live each day to the fullest and let us take care of routine daily chores. After all, this is your retirement; you deserve to spend it exactly as you want. Show your competitive spirit at cards or board games. Learn a new creative outlet. Work on your physical fitness with our B-Fit exercise program or playing bocce ball. Strengthen your memory with our brain exercises. Join one of our outings to local restaurants, shopping or regional attractions, such as the scenic Tennessee River, the Alabama Hall of Fame, historic Native American sites, golf and fishing. With an ever-updated events calendar, there s always something that will pique your interest.
You ll find that our home, like yours, is comfortable, cozy and relaxing. Our home-like common areas, including a fireside living room, sunlight-filled dining room and library, naturally draw people together. With easy-to-navigate floor plans and soothing wall colors, memory care residents feel safe and not overwhelmed. And with monitored entries and exits and an enclosed courtyard, they remain safe while having complete freedom of movement.
One of your first decisions will be to choose which apartment, of the multiple floor plans, best suits your needs. Our community offers studios and two-bedroom companion suites, each of which has a private bath and large windows to let in plenty of natural light. You ll bring your own furnishings, photos and treasured keepsakes to decorate your apartment in your own unique style. And if you have a beloved four-legged friend, bring him along, too. We re very pet-friendly!
Our memory care residents receive a gentle daily structure tailored to preserve their abilities, encourage the use of their current skills and help them maintain their quality of life for as long as possible. They benefit from fun brain games, fitness guidance and activities such as chair dancing, pet therapy, sing-alongs and outings all carefully designed to provide them with a sense of purpose, meaning and belonging, even when their dementia is advanced.
Our fine dining experience is prepared by a trained chef who serves three nutritious restaurant-style meals and several snacks each day. You ll dine on such tasty and refined dishes as Memphis rubbed chicken, pork chop with peach salsa and herb-baked pollock. To avoid any confusion or added stress, we keep mealtimes very routine for our memory care community.
Our assisted living lifestyle provides all the independence you want and a helping hand when you need it. We can get you started, perhaps in bathing, dressing or managing medications. Then we step out of the way of your daily living.
If a resident ever should need a deeper level of assistance, it s an easy transition into our memory care program, which is deeply rooted in a person-centered approach focused on creating feelings of belonging and purpose for your loved one. With gentle guidance and visual reminders, we provide a secure, safe place that meets them where they are and allows them to flourish even with advanced expressions of the disease. While your loved one benefits from our care, you ll have peace of mind knowing there is trained staff on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
