Brookdale New Bern

Remember your days in a college dorm or summer camp, living with people your own age who shared your interests and experiences? You played cards and board games and talked for hours. At Brookdale New Bern, which offers assisted living in the historic river town of New Bern, N.C., we recreate that fun, communal experience of living with a family of friends.

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. You can stay wonderfully independent and active while receiving the daily personal assistance you need. And you have peace of mind knowing our staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency.

Do you want to try your hand at landscape painting? Maybe you d like to join the resident council. Perhaps now is the time to start a fitness program. The sky's the limit as to how you can spend your day. How about showing your competitive spirit with bingo, cards or board games? Or learning a new hobby? Or teaching someone else your hobby?

You ll find the same comfort, coziness and warmth throughout our home that you d find in your own home. Our common areas, such as the cozy fireside living room, sunlight-filled dining room and library are inviting, home-like places to visit with friends and neighbors over coffee or tea. Step outside for a breath of fresh air and to enjoy the lovely enclosed courtyard with its trees, walking path and shaded seating.

You ll choose the apartment that best suits your needs from studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans. Your apartment contains a private bath, spacious storage and large windows that provide abundant natural light. Some have kitchenettes. You can bring your favorite furniture, photos and cherished keepsakes to decorate and arrange so your home unmistakably reflects your unique style. Do you have a beloved pet? Bring it along. We d love to welcome it into our community.

Join us on our frequent excursions to local dining, shopping and attractions such as Tryon Palace and Gardens, local art galleries, antique shops and Croatan National Forest. You may want to venture out to visit the New Bern Firemen s Museum, which highlights the Great Fire of 1922, the Neuse River where you can take tugboat or pontoon cruises, or theatrical performances by the River Towne Players. Our community offers an engaging social life that encourages you to be active as much or as little as you choose.

We offer more than home-like coziness; we offer excellent amenities, too, for your comfort and convenience, including internet access, an arts & crafts studio, a piano and a beauty salon/barbershop. Flavorful chef-prepared meals, with such entrees as herb roasted chicken, roast pork loin and crab cakes, are served restaurant-style so you can order what you want and enjoy conversation with others at your table.

With Brookdale New Bern s years of experience in assisted living, we understand the right balance of care so you feel supported and cared for, while also retaining your independence and freedom. We re here to help with daily personal needs, such as bathing, dressing and medication management so you have the confidence and assurance to successfully jump into each new day. And there s always the security of knowing that our staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
