Brookdale Dover

There are plenty of active seniors out there who are ready, willing and able to take on the world with just a bit of help. If you re living a mostly independent lifestyle, but you could use an extra hand with some of your day-to-day activities, Brookdale Dover with both assisted living and memory care could be right for you.

So go ahead and take a tai chi class or join your friends for a movie night with popcorn. We ll take care of the rest so you can focus on fun ways to spend your day. Your basic utilities and maintenance are all included so you won t have as many bills to worry about. You ll also find comfort knowing that staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Plus, you ll enjoy a pet-friendly apartment that is warm and welcoming with great window light.

You ll have the care you need if you need it so you can focus on the fun. You could start your morning with coffee in the courtyard before joining a Flex Your Brain session. Or how about a floral design class or craft class? Maybe you ve always wanted to learn to sign language. Now you can. How about some game time with the UNO club or bingo? After that, you can join friends for happy hour. You can be as involved as much or as little as you choose. If you need to run errands but you don t like driving in traffic, use our transportation services to get you where you need to go.

At our cozy, friendly community, all of our apartments are on one level for easy access. Here you ll be able to make your studio apartment your own with your personal style. We can even help you hang pictures to help you settle in. With a private bathroom and plenty of natural window light and space, some apartments even have garden views. And you know it wouldn t be home without your favorite four-legged friends. That s why Brookdale Dove is a pet-friendly community.

After a little exercise with a fitness class, enjoy a coffee on the patio. If you have a passion for gardening, you can work in our courtyard gardens, or just enjoy the view. Pick out your next favorite book in our library or join friends for a game of Scrabble in the game room. And next time you want to have your hair done, book your appointment at our on-site beauty salon. We even have a private dining room you can reserve for special celebrations with family and friends. It s just one more way we help you live your best life.

For memory care residents, we offer a program, also known as Clare Bridge, rooted in a person-centered approach, which means we help our residents find a sense of belonging and purpose while also helping them preserve who they are and find daily moments of joy. The Daily Path is an evidence-based approach that offers a gentle daily structure of six planned programs per day, which maintain our residents' abilities and encourage the use of their current skills. The Green Thumb Garden Club, craft classes, and music performances are just a few of the activities available for our memory care residents.

Head down to the dining room for menu options that are all about you your suggestions, your feedback and even your own family recipes. People living with dementia are at a greater risk for poor nutrition and weight loss. That s why we use mealtime for our memory care residents as an opportunity to offer healthy menu choices and create a sense of belonging. With our memory care dining program, our residents enjoy dementia-friendly menus with familiar and easy-to-manage selections.

Here you can enjoy several monthly community outings to local attractions like Biggs Museum, Silver Lake, country trips to Byler s General Store for ice cream, and blueberry picking at Fifer s Orchard. In addition to our outings and daily resident social activities, Brookdale Dover hosts several family and friend events throughout the year. Some of our featured events include the annual Easter egg hunt, a tasty Mother s Day brunch, a popular Luau and Crab Feast, and a festive Christmas celebration.

Our memory care community features areas of the community that are set up for safe engagement in gardening, kitchen work, handyman help, and other household and normal daily tasks. Life skills activities provide a sense of purpose, meaning and belonging as residents complete tasks related to everyday life.

Along with our programming, you ll find comfort knowing that our trained staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Assisted living provides assistance in medications, dressing and bathing, as well as services like housekeeping and meals. It's about redefining your independence, full of friendships and time for rediscovering an old passion or finding a new one. Your wellness is supported by collaborative care partnerships between your family, our care associates and other healthcare providers.

And if you need memory care in the future, you ll have person-centered Alzheimer's and dementia care within the same community campus. With gentle guidance and visual reminders, our memory care communities provide a secure, safe space with a daily path of engagement that meets our resident's skill levels.

In our memory care community, we ve developed a comprehensive problem-solving process as an alternative to psychotropic medications sometimes prescribed to manage behavioral expressions associated with dementia. Sometimes addressing basic issues like pain, hunger or thirst or even an environment that s too hot or too cold, will resolve problems without the need to resort to medication.
