Have you reached the point in your life where you re ready to leave the housekeeping, laundry and daily chores to someone else and enjoy life? Then Brookdale Destin is the place for you. Our assisted living and memory care community is located on Florida s Emerald Coast, a tourist destination known for its white beaches and emerald green waters. It s convenient to shopping and restaurants, and there s not a chore in sight.
As an assisted living resident, jump into a busy social calendar and a life of leisure and independence while still receiving the personal assistance you need. Should your needs change over time, and you require memory care, you have the assurance of knowing you can remain here, in your home, with familiar surroundings and close friendships. You and your family will have peace of mind knowing that we have trained staff on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our full and ever-changing activities calendar offers an expansive choice of enjoyable ways to spend your time. Go for a swim in our outside pool, get competitive with rousing card or board games, find inspiration in Bible studies or get creative in our arts & crafts classes. Destin is a tourist destination, so there s no end to things to do. Walk the beautiful beaches, shop the boutiques, dine at upscale restaurants and book a fishing trip Destin, after all, claims to have the largest fishing vessel fleet in the state of Florida. You can be active as much or as little as you prefer.
Before you even enter Brookdale Destin, you know this is a special place, with the immaculately landscaped grounds and extra touches such as the walking bridge over the picturesque fishing pond. And when you walk through the front door, you ll immediately notice the warmth, genteel elegance and peacefulness of our home-like community. Your comfort is important to us, so our common areas are cozy and very inviting, including the fireside living room, library and cafe/bistro. Our easy-to-navigate floor plans and soothing wall colors help our memory care residents feel safe and not overwhelmed. With monitored entries and exits and enclosed courtyard, our memory care residents remain safe while having complete freedom of movement.
While our common areas are designed for socializing, our private and companion suites offer your own quiet, restful haven. You can choose which of eight floor plans both private and companion suites best fits your needs. They feature a 24-hour emergency response system, private baths and large windows to let in abundant natural light. Bring your favorite furniture, photos and cherished keepsakes so your home unmistakably reflects your unique style. And we understand that pets are family also, so your furry friends are welcome to join us.
Our memory care residents engage in such activities as pet therapy, cooking, beach ball toss, watercolor painting, movie nights or playing trivia games. Maybe you ll find them getting coffee with a friend, participating in reminiscing chats, exercising their body and brains or going for scenic drives. They re having fun, yes. But each of these activities is part of a carefully structured care program, called the Clare Bridge Alzheimer's and Dementia Program, to help our residents live their best life, even when dementia is advanced.
Our fine dining experience is prepared by a chef who serves three nutritious restaurant-style meals and several snacks each day. You ll dine on such tasty dishes as lemon baked chicken, grilled salmon and roast pork loin. To avoid any confusion or added stress, we keep mealtimes very routine for our memory care community.
As an assisted living resident, you ll have all the independence you desire and a helping hand when you need it. We re here to help with such daily tasks as managing medications, bathing and dressing, as well as housekeeping and meals, leaving you to enjoy your activities with confidence.
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.
