Brookdale Vero Beach South Memory Care

Brookdale Vero Beach South Memory Care serves people with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, offering a place where residents get help that fits their needs as they change. The staff know how to support people with memory loss and are there day and night, providing support for things like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine. This community has secure outdoor areas with walking paths and gardens, so residents can spend time outside safely, and there's a lot of green space with patios and porches where people can sit and relax. There are activity rooms, a music room with a piano, and arts and crafts studios for daily activities that help keep residents' minds active, from brain fitness classes and trivia to gardening and karaoke, with a full calendar of events set up by an activity director who provides both on-site and off-site outings-including visits for fellowship and devotional services.

People live in either private or companion studio apartments, with a choice of layouts and furniture, and emergency call systems in rooms help keep residents safe. Nurses watch over care plans, with a doctor on call and a registered nurse on site, and the staff know how to help people who may wander or have more challenging days. The staff manage chronic conditions like diabetes and blood pressure and give reminders and help for meals, and they can help with mobility, too, supporting transfers and personal tasks as needed-even if someone needs special lifts or uses a wheelchair. Residents can age in place here, so when care needs grow and change, they don't have to move.

Meals are served restaurant-style with a professional chef, and there's a beautician on site along with laundry, housekeeping, and health care services like annual checkups and immunizations. The community allows cats, offers transportation for medical visits or shopping, and includes resident parking. The buildings and grounds are designed for safety, with secure memory care areas, alarm bracelets for those who may wander, and a layout that helps lessen confusion. Staff are friendly and attentive, known for kind support and helping with reminders, meals, and health checks. Residents and their families appreciate the familiar culture, where folks get to move freely within safe boundaries and connect with friends in common spaces like the fireside lounge, library, or on the porch.

Brookdale Vero Beach South Memory Care focuses on respect, dignity, and daily meaning, giving people both safety and freedom, with care that changes as each person's needs change. There's a sense of community, steady routines, and a range of supportive programs tailored to each person, all in a secure and comfortable setting made for people with memory challenges.

Brookdale's signature Clare Bridge program, developed over 30 years ago by dementia-care experts, provides specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care through two distinct levels: Clare Bridge communities for comprehensive memory support and the Clare Bridge Solace program for advanced-stage dementia residents. The program is recognized by the Alzheimer's Association® for incorporating evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations and features secure environments, enclosed courtyards, Daily Path programming with six structured activities daily, and the InTouch technology platform offering personalized brain-stimulating games and therapeutic content.
