Brookdale Roanoke

Nestled in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood setting and surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, we are easily accessible from Brambleton Avenue, Colonial Avenue, Interstate 581 and Highway 220. Our community is within five miles of downtown Roanoke with hotels, restaurants and historic areas. We are convenient to popular shopping locales, such as Towers Shopping Center and Tanglewood Mall.

Roanoke has 56 private apartments which are fully furnished and include half baths. Our community is divided into four individual residences that truly reflect a home-like environment with kitchens, living and dining areas. We are all on one level, making it easy to navigate to common areas, giving residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another and interact in a safe and comfortable atmosphere. A large outdoor courtyard is accessible from anywhere in the community.

An Active and Engaging Environment

Our activities are developed from the detailed life stories we gather from each resident. We want to understand your loved ones hobbies, careers and interests and turn these ideas into activities they can enjoy. These are personalized, conducted in large and small groups and involve both the community staff and residents.

The Roanoke community conducts weekly ice cream socials as well as monthly birthday celebrations, and we hold quarterly events to encourage family partnerships. Daily activities include exercise, current events, and memory stimulation games. Residents enjoy weekly cooking with our Dining Services Director, along with outside volunteer involvement that includes pet therapy, music, dance and arts & crafts.

Brookdale’s Dining

People suffering from Alzheimer’s and other memory impairments typically do not consume large amounts of food at one time. To make sure residents have a sufficient calorie intake, our menu includes three meals with entrée choices, and three snacks a day. We also offer various textured and finger foods, as some residents cannot use utensils.

Our staff is always here to help residents who need reminders to eat, and gives support for those requiring physical assistance. Additionally, residents who need less assistance, eat 30 minutes earlier than those needing more support. All meals are prepared in-house, and family members who join us for dining often tell us how much they enjoy our food.
