When you walk through the front door into Brookdale Midlothian, 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 courtyards with lovely landscaping, trees and raised garden beds. 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, all located on one floor for easy access, offer you your own quiet, restful haven. You can choose which of five floor plan 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.
Our memory care residents engage in such activities as dancing, cooking, 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 taking rides through the scenic countryside. 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 salmon, zesty meatloaf and seared chicken with fresh pineapple, ginger and mint salsa. 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.
