Brookdale Staunton, which provides both assisted living and Alzheimer s and dementia care, offers the sense of community and the gracious living you ve been seeking. Set on 22 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, we are considered one of Virginia s premier retirement communities. Our community features mountainside views in a natural setting, where deer frequently roam our campus. And though our community is located in a beautiful and quiet area of town, we are also very close to major shopping districts, local attractions and Augusta Medical Center.
As an assisted living resident, you can fill in your social calendar and focus on your interests, and we ll provide just the right amount of personal assistance and care to make your life easier. Should your needs change over time, and you require memory care, you have the security of knowing you can remain here, in your home, without leaving familiar surroundings. And there s always peace of mind knowing our staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
There s always something going on at Brookdale Staunton, so you ll find plenty to do. Round up a few friends and neighbors for a little friendly competition at the game tables, try your hand at watercolor painting or sit and stitch with other knitters and crocheters. We offer Bible studies, movies, dancing and our B-Fit exercise program. You ll look forward to such frequent outings as fishing at area lakes, picnics, excursions on the Gypsy Express Mini Train round Gypsy Hill Park, ice cream runs, and scenic rides through Virginia s picturesque Shenandoah Valley.
When you walk through the front door into Brookdale Staunton, you ll immediately notice the elegance of our community, beginning with the immaculate foyer and fine furnishings. Your comfort is important to us, so our home-like common areas are comfortable, cozy and very inviting, including the well-stocked library, sunny dining room and fireside living room. Our outdoor spaces beckon you to get some fresh air, take a stroll along the walking paths and admire the gorgeous views.
One of your first decisions will be to choose which apartment, of the four floor plans, best suits your needs. Our community offers studios, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, each of which has a kitchenette, private bath and large windows to let in plenty of natural light. We also offer friendship suites where two residents, who either don t want to live alone or wish to save on rent, can share accommodations. You are encouraged to bring your own furnishings, photos and treasured keepsakes to decorate your apartment in your own unique style. And if you have a beloved four-legged friend, bring him along, too. We re very pet-friendly!
Our memory care residents enjoy such activities as walking, dancing, socializing at get-togethers, reminiscing about the old days, enjoying music and competing in board games. Maybe you ll find them playing cards, singing karaoke or baking some culinary delights. Each of these activities is part of a carefully designed care program to help them flourish and use meaningful life skills and talents even when their dementia is advanced.
Our fine dining experience is prepared by a trained chef who serves three nutritious restaurant-style meals and several snacks each day. You ll dine on such tasty and refined dishes as beef burgundy, lamb meatballs with mint and Mediterranean-style cod. 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.
