How Assisted Living Can Help Seniors Thrive

May 12, 2021
How assisted living can improve a senior's life.

Many people mistakenly believe that moving to an assisted living facility is the beginning of a loss of independence when, in fact, the opposite is true. Assisted living staff at Brookfield Senior Living communities can help you with everyday details so you can focus on the important stuff. Enjoy reawakened vigor and look forward to satisfying your thirst for new adventures in assisted living!

Help When You Need It

Assisted living facilities are neither hospitals nor hotels. Brookfield Senior Living communities are dedicated to helping you live your best life with as minimal assistance as possible.
We offer help with daily tasks related to your living environment and health but only help as much as you need.


Have Visitors as Often as You’d Like

Whether you have a large family or a few life-long friends, you can invite them to your assisted living home whenever the mood strikes. When they’re not around, we also offer a full range of fun group and individual activities. Some recreation options include exercising, activity packs, and crafts. Researchers have found that remaining socially active has many health benefits and, at Brookfield, we’re committed to helping you harness the power of friendship and family to help you live your retirement in comfort surrounding by your loved ones and lasting memories.

Your Furry Friends Are Also Welcome

One does not need to be a human to be a part of your stay at Brookfield Senior Living. We allow pets at our facilities, so you can reap the full benefits of pet ownership, such as reduced cholesterol, increased opportunities for exercise, and a boost to your mental health. Even if you don’t have a pet, you can spend time with other residents’ pets while enjoying some fresh air or visiting new friends!


Forget About Housework—Focus on Fun!

One aspect of assisted living that most residents love is the housework—there is none. We provide light housekeeping services, so your living space stays fresh, perfect for entertaining!
In addition to keeping your living space clean, our team also does your laundry. Clean laundry does more than keep you looking great. It also keeps you healthy because clean laundry minimizes the friction that can lead to skin abrasions and irritation. This is especially true of sheets but applies to clothing as well.


Your Meals Are on Us

Good nutrition fuels productive days and is one of the best ways to improve your health and wellbeing. Most people know that eating a range of fruits and vegetables is key to good health, but did you know that individuals aged 60 years or older have different portion size requirements than younger adults? Getting enough protein, Vitamin D, low-fat dairy, and other nutrients is critical to feeling your best.


Since each bite counts, getting all the nutrition we need can be challenging as we age. Cooking food that you crave can seem impossible. Fortunately, our kitchen creates healthy and delicious meals to meet a wide range of dietary needs. If you want something, just ask. We specialize in learning home-cooking your way.

Steer Your Own Destiny

Whether you drive or not, our staff empowers you to steer towards your destiny. If you choose to move in with us, you can take advantage of our transportation services when you need them. We will get you where you need to go and bring you home at the end of a long adventurous day.

Enjoy Privacy and Peace of Mind

At Brookfield, we always respect your privacy. After all, your private living space is your home. We aim to provide care that doesn’t interfere with your life and busy schedule.


Maximize Your Health

The choices you make today matter. Assisted living can help pave the way to a brighter future. Getting a little help with everyday tasks might seem like a small change, but it is far from insignificant. Living in a clean space with consistently nutritious meals and in a caring community can boost your health today.
Making the move to an assisted living residence is also one of the best long-term investments you can make on your behalf. It’s time for you to live your best life. Contact us today to learn how Brookfield Senior Living can help you get the most out of your retirement.
