Brookdale Charleston Gardens

Assisted living caregivers help with tasks such as dressing, bathing and managing medications, and the team coordinates with outside healthcare providers.

Memory care is a person-centered program for residents with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, delivered in a homelike setting by staff trained in a personalized approach.

In the Clare Bridge memory care neighborhood, daily routines are familiar and calming sensory experiences such as music, pet visits and soothing scents are used as needs change. Families can follow life updates through a virtual scrapbook.

Assisted living and memory care are both offered in private apartments, and semi-private rooms may be available.

Dining and housekeeping are included in the monthly rate, and the community is pet friendly.

Personalized help is available for tasks like meals, laundry and daily routines, in a calm, homelike setting.

Residents can order personal care products through the Personal Solutions program, with free delivery to their door.

Concierge service, transportation, parking, postal services, a pharmacy, a beauty and barber shop and an emergency alert system are listed amenities.

The culinary team personalizes meals around residents' favorite recipes, dietary needs and preferences, using whole grains, lean proteins and fresh ingredients in its Optimum Life cuisine.

Clare Bridge dining offers dementia-friendly menus in a calm setting with simple table settings and soft lighting. A private dining room is available.

Residents take part in clubs such as the Gardening Club and Drama Circle, and popular hobbies include painting, gardening, piano playing, baking and yoga.

The community offers health and wellness programs and an activities calendar through Brookdale's Optimum Life approach, which supports each resident's personal interests and goals.

Community spaces include a courtyard and garden, landscaped grounds, walking paths, a fireside living room, a therapy room, a piano and Wi-Fi.
