Brookdale Dover

No matter how you envision retirement, we know what's not part of the picture: cleaning, laundry and home maintenance. At Brookdale Dover, we cover all of those tedious responsibilities for you—that way, you spend more of your retirement with fun hobbies, fulfilling passions, and creating friendships with vibrant, like-minded seniors. Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Dover, Delaware,  and just a stone's toss from shopping centers and restaurants, our campus offers both assisted living and memory care. But you won't have to venture too far to have fun—all of the excitement happens right here on campus.

Life at Brookdale is full of choices, with each one seeming better than the last. We have a robust events calendar with planned activities that change daily. Here's just a sampling of what you can look forward to:

• Happy hours

• Community BINGO

• Trivia challenges

• Arts and crafts sessions

• Movie nights

• Wii bowling

• Group fitness classes

For our residents with Alzheimer’s and dementia, we also provide a daily path of engagement with skill-strengthening activities, like morning mental workouts, clustered group discussions, and creative art classes. Along with this daily path, we host life-enrichment activities that help promote a sense of belonging and purpose, such as our Green Thumb Garden Club.

Our community also plans group outings to local attractions like Biggs Museum and Silver Lake. We also plan special off-campus activities, like blueberry picking at Fifer's Orchard.

When it's time to relax and recharge, you can do so in your very own cozy apartment—complete with a private bathroom, spacious storage, and windows that bring in an abundance of natural light. If you have a four-legged best friend, they're more than welcome to come along! We're a pet-friendly community because we know it just wouldn't feel like home sweet home without your pet at your side.

Our care plans are customized to your needs. If you live an independent lifestyle but would like to forgo burdens like lawn maintenance and washing dishes, then you can leave all that up to us. Our assisted living program provides seniors with a resort-style way of life—enjoy housekeeping and restaurant-style dining with a constant rotation of chef-prepared meals like Italian baked salmon, roast chicken, and stuffed shells. If you need an extra hand with little things like grooming, dressing, or medication management, we're here to help.

For seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia, we offer a memory care program that provides gentle guidance and a deeper level of care. When needed, we can help with extra things like medication administration, getting around campus, and dining assistance. We also understand just how important safety and peace of mind are for you and your family, which is why our campus is outfitted with a 24-hour security system and why we have care staff on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency.
