Delivering the Best in Senior Care

If you’re just starting to investigate senior living, you might have noticed that there are several options to choose from before you even move in! Fortunately, selecting from these different kinds of senior living care levels isn't a task you have to tackle alone. We’ve compiled some of the most important info about each care level here. And if you’d like some help figuring out which one is right for you, our helpful associates are just a phone call away.

Independent Living

Independent living is ideal for those who still enjoy an engaging lifestyle and want more freedom to pursue their passions. Residents can spend less time worrying about things like home ownership, maintenance and landscaping and more time doing the things they love in a place designed to feel and function like a home.

Assisted Living

Assisted living is a wonderful option for people who need assistance with daily activities like managing medications, dressing, bathing, housekeeping and meals. It’s a redefined independence that allows you and your loved ones the peace of mind you deserve and gives you more time to invest in the people and hobbies you love.

Memory Care

Memory care services provide quality care and support for seniors living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. With gentle guidance and visual reminders, these programs provide a secure, safe space with activities that meet a resident’s skill level and allow them to flourish even with advanced expressions of the disease.

Skilled Nursing

Skilled nursing provides seniors with two services: short-term and long-term care. Short-term care programs are designed to provide recovery from surgeries, illnesses and accidents. Long-term care is for those who could benefit from 24-hour nursing care.

Continuing Care Retirement Communities

A continuing care retirement community (CCRC) offers multiple care levels on one campus, which means you don't have to move even if your healthcare needs change in the future. With a full range of personalized assistance and care options that fit your lifestyle, you can have peace of mind knowing your future is taken care of.

Hospice

Hospice provides compassionate care and support to individuals and caregivers who are living with terminal illness, no matter where they call home. Our hospice associates can provide on-call support, clinical and skilled care as well as spiritual and emotional counseling and music therapy. Let us handle the care, so you can enjoy the precious moments of life.

Home Health

Home Health provides licensed clinical care in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Our team includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, rehabilitation therapists, social workers and aides to provide you a wide range of skilled care that’s designed to help you achieve your health and wellness goals.

My mom is a current resident. Constantly smells in the hallways. I've never encountered a friendly worker there. The front desk people are lovely, but whoever answers the phone is perpetually nasty. Although I know it's hard to find a good care facility, we expected more from this place for our mother.

It took me a few weeks to adjust from independent living to assisted living, but it was a necessity. I gradually began to adjust and to enjoy being here.

I recently took a client to tour Brookdale North ATX. It is truly a phenomenal community—one that stands out for its top-tier dedicated team. From the moment you walk in, you can feel how special this place is. The environment is warm, inviting, and designed with comfort. What truly makes Brookdale exceptional is the people, and Seana Wheeler is a perfect example of that. She is absolutely amazing—going above and beyond to ensure that every resident and family feels supported, valued, and cared for. Her kindness, dedication, and passion for what she does are evident in every interaction, making a real difference in the lives of those she serves. Thanks for all you do for our seniors!

My aunt moved to Brookdale in December from an independent living facilty. Unfortunately she passed away in January, but we thought the facilty was wonderful. The staff was so kind and helpful to her and to the family. I would highly recommend Brookdale North.
