About Brookdale Sunwest Assisted Living and Memory Care

At Brookdale Sunwest, there are a variety of care options and vibrant amenities designed to brighten your days. Whether you’re seeking independent living, memory care, or assisted living, the community strives to fulfill each resident’s needs. Would you like assistance with daily activities or managing your medication? The compassionate team members work with residents and families to create flexible and tailored care plans using an exclusive Personalized Service System. This also allows residents to pay for the services they want and need — and not a dollar more. In addition to providing direct care, Brookdale Sunwest offers opportunities to socialize, explore new passions, or simply relax. Say goodbye to washing the dishes, driving to appointments, or fixing broken appliances. From now on, your tedious chores are managed for you. The professional on-site concierge service can also answer questions or assist with many other types of requests. For residents in memory care, specialized features include circular pathways for safe wandering, personalized apartment entryways, and dementia-friendly dining menus. To promote peace of mind, the community uses a 24-hour security system, and staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to any emergencies. With a variety of care options and security measures in place, it’s easier than ever for you to age in place comfortably. In your free time, you can join friends for scenic drives through wine country, or unwind at the outdoor pool under the California sun. Invite a friend over to experience the excellent dining program, which features a rotation of nutritious, yet delicious dishes prepared by the culinary team. After your homemade meal, book an appointment at the beauty and barber shop, or head to the game room to play bunco. You can also take a peek at the scenic outdoor walking paths, on-site movie theater, cozy fireside living room, or well-stocked library, depending on your mood. Plus, many residents benefit from the Personal Solutions delivery program. This helpful program saves residents time and a drive to the store. Submit a list of requested personal items, such as conditioner, toilet paper, or other necessities, and they will be delivered directly to your door, at no extra cost for the delivery. With several pet-friendly apartment styles to choose from, you can find the perfect floor plan. Choose from a one-bedroom or two-bedroom option to fill with your personal collectibles and treasures. Some apartments include gorgeous garden views and kitchens with updated appliances. Safety features are also included, like emergency alert systems and wheelchair-accessible showers. Don’t forget to bring your furry friend along, and be sure to let the staff know if you need any help moving. Enjoy a wonderful new beginning and retirement like never before, at Brookdale Sunwest.

Nice place to visit Mom

Overall pretty good. Food going down in quality and taste. Too much chicken! Fewer and fewer entertainment programs. Yes, I would recommend Brookdale to other families as it has been pretty good for the time here.

Our family had an in person tour with Brookdale Sunwest community and the tour experience was just alright, we found the staff members we met with to not be that friendly at all.

Excellent Choice!

The room is smaller than one might prefer. Not quite enough space for two full chairs, so guests use folding chairs. However that former ALF had a beautiful room lacking in adequate care, so this is a trade off I will take. I'm overall very happy with Brookdale. This move has been very good for our family.

Our family had an in person tour and immediately did not give us a good first impression, it was dark and dirty and needed quite a bit of updating,
