There are right ways and wrong ways to transition into senior living. Right: Trading the worries of an isolated life at home for vibrant, activity-filled days at a first-class senior living community. Wrong: Waiting until it s too late to make the most of the redefined independence available to you. Whether you re looking for assisted living, which means you get just a little extra help with daily activities like dressing, managing medications or hygiene, or you or your loved one are struggling with cognitive or memory loss, and you need a higher level of attention and care, we have an option for you. Whichever level of care you pick, you ll find a special kind of redefined independence waiting for you here at Brookdale Monroe, just a short drive from downtown on Fredericks Drive. Come visit any time.
Joining a senior living community can feel like a big step. That s because it is. But there are two things you should know about life at Brookdale Monroe. Number 1, living the senior life here means your days are filled with interesting activities to do. You ll have active options like our signature fitness program, B-Fit, or a special senior-friendly version of volleyball. You ll also have creative choices like Monday and Saturday nights singing with Suzy, or cooking classes. Sometimes, you ll want to choose to pamper yourself (you ve earned it, after all), and you can do that too, with minute massages on Wednesday or marvelous manicures on Thursdays. And the number 2 thing you should know, life here means your social circle is filled with interesting people to do them with. However you choose to spend your days, you ll be enjoying a life lived well.
Our building is small and intimate, with every square inch designed to be cozy. It s also built, above all, for safety. Because we host residents who need both assisted living and memory care, our apartments, community spaces and outdoor areas are all designed for 24/7 security first. But that doesn t mean you have to sacrifice comfort. Our brightly lit, wood-floored dining room might be your new favorite spot to meet with friends. Our community room, with a tall, vaulted ceiling, might be your favorite space for your morning coffee. And our outdoor patio might be just the right spot to enjoy the warm, fall evenings.
We think one visit to our cozy, intimate community and you ll see why so many of our seniors see this as their new home sweet home. Here, you re never far from a good time or a good place to enjoy your days. From safety features, like emergency response in every room, to quality of life amenities like an in-house beauty shop or individualized dining programs with three hot meals every day, you ll find everything you need here to live your best life.
Our assisted living residents will appreciate our hands-off style, helping you maintain all of the independence you deserve, and stepping in to help whenever you need it most, like bathing, dressing or managing your medications. Our memory and Alzheimer s care residents might most appreciate the way our community gently steers them through their day, with color-coded cues and memory-friendly schedules. And because we offer a wider range of care than some other communities, if your needs change in the future, your mailing address won t necessarily have to.
