Brookdale Farmington Hills North

Brookdale Farmington Hills North, over on the north side near Twelve Mile Road and Walter P. Reuther Freeway in Michigan, is a medium-sized community with 32 beds offering several options for seniors, including assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, independent living, skilled nursing care, and continuing care for folks who want stability as their needs change. The place is built from the ground up to help people with memory loss and has color-coded cues and calm, steady routines to help residents feel settled. They've got 24-hour staff ready to help with emergencies or regular needs like dressing, grooming, or walking, and there's always someone on hand if anyone needs anything, which is important for people going through difficult journeys. Part of the Brookdale Senior Living network and associated with Hamilton House, the community score shows a focus on safety and making things comfortable, with a control-access building and emergency call systems in each apartment to make people feel secure.

Folks can pick between private suites, companion rooms, or semi-private suites, all of which can come furnished or unfurnished, so residents can bring in their own things. Private suites are about 315 square feet and have a private bathroom, some have outdoor patios or balconies, and all are carpeted, with basic cable included and Wi-Fi available. The community welcomes small pets, so long-time companions can move in, and there's room for decorating and making things homey, which matters to many seniors. The spaces inside include common rooms like a lounge for visiting, activity rooms, a screening room, and a library, plus communal dining areas, all with warm wood tones and art that make meals more social and pleasant.

The memory care floor is quiet, comfortable, and secure, with enclosed outdoor walking spaces, a courtyard, a gazebo, and patio tables with umbrellas so residents can safely enjoy fresh air. There's a daily program called Clare Bridge Daily Path with six planned activities every day-mental games, memory activities, physical exercise, group hobbies, reminiscing, and music-plus a special Solace program for people with later-stage dementia who need extra one-on-one attention. Mealtimes are guided by dietitians and staff, using adaptive devices and finger foods when necessary to help residents keep their independence and enjoy eating. Activities include arts and crafts, hobbies, educational programs, music, outings, table games, and even karaoke nights every third Wednesday, which residents and guests from outside can join. There are gardening spaces, wellness programs with tai chi and yoga, and even on-site beautician services with hair dryers and comfortable chairs.

Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services come with the rent, which runs month-to-month, and transportation is available for shopping or medical appointments. The staff includes a part-time nurse, and they help with medical reminders, medication, therapies, and rehabilitation. For veterans, there's VA aid assistance, and religious services are offered right there in the community. Seniors can take computer classes on site, read Brookdale Blogs, and participate in signature wellness programs. Brookdale Farmington Hills North is licensed as a Home for the Aged under AH630236928 and has options for every level, whether someone wants independent living with social events, needs help with everyday things in assisted living, or is living with the challenges of memory loss in the specially designed memory care area.
