Why worry about home maintenance, grocery shopping and paying bills when you could instead spend your time honing your artistic ability, learning a foreign language or getting competitive in a good game of cards? The assisted living lifestyle at Brookdale Woodward Estates in Bowie, Md., provides a safe, carefree setting for you to live your life of redefined independence without the inconvenient burdens of home ownership.
Our community offers an engaging social life that will pull you away from the TV and into card and board games, happy hour socials, fitness classes, lively meals and fun outings. You ll find other seniors to bond with over mutual interests and common experiences, such as career fields, college days or time in the service. And we re near numerous medical facilities, including Larkin Chase Care and Rehabilitation Center and Bowie Health Center, giving you a real sense of security should you ever need immediate off-site medical care.
Each new day brings a whole range of possibilities and choices of how to spend it. Our rich social calendar provides loads of activities, including theme days, game groups, exercise programs, cooking classes, current events discussions and happy hour gatherings in our Triple Crown Pub. Join our Scrabble club, sage club which brings in speakers to address topics of interest to seniors or the men s club. For your faith life, we offer Bible study, Christian fellowship and non-denominational church services.
Take a walk through our community and you ll find the same comfort, beauty and privacy you d find in your own home. Our common areas, such as the comfortable fireside living room, library and elegant dining room are inviting places for coffee and a chat with friends and neighbors. Our large balcony, a favorite gathering place, is filled with beautiful houseplants cared for by the residents. If you can t navigate the spiral staircase up to the second floor, we have two elevators on each side of the community.
Moving into a new home can be daunting, and that s why we re here to help. First thing is to choose your apartment. We offer some 80 senior apartments with 10 different floor plans, including studios, deluxe studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, all with large windows to let in abundant natural light. If you either don t want to live alone or wish to save on rent, you can move into a friendship suite, in which two residents share an apartment. You can choose a fully furnished apartment or bring your own furniture, photos and cherished keepsakes to decorate in your own unmistakable style. Your small pet is very welcome and will be treated just like a member of our family.
With easy access to several major highways, we can reach Washington, D.C., in just 15 minutes or the charming waterside community of Annapolis, Md., in just 45 minutes, so we take frequent outings to the many museums and historical attractions that this special part of the Northeast has to offer. A little closer to home directly across the street, in fact is the Bowie Town Center Mall, where you can shop and dine to your heart s content.
We offer more than home-like coziness; we offer excellent amenities, too, for your comfort and convenience. Improve your health in our workout and wellness center, do a little baking in the community kitchen or get a cut and style in the beauty salon/barbershop. Sumptuous chef-prepared meals, such as baked ocean perch, roast beef with au jus or chicken breast piccata, are served restaurant-style in our dining room so you can enjoy conversation with others at your table.
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.
We know you want to live life to the fullest, regardless of challenges that may come with age. Optimum Life , our proprietary program of holistic well-being, can help you live at your peak level by adopting a lifestyle that promotes health and wholeness. We ll help you live your best life physically, emotionally, purposefully, socially, spiritually and intellectually.
