Overview
Just because you’re retired doesn’t mean your life has to be boring. There’s so much more for you out there than sitting in front of the television or resigning yourself to a life without novelty. At Brookdale Lake Charles, our goal is to make your retirement fun, relaxing, and carefree. Our assisted living and memory care community is located near all the action – shops, restaurants, parks, and medical centers. Our staff is here to make your life a little easier – whether that’s coordinating appointments without outside healthcare providers, managing medications or assisting with daily living needs. And we’ll tackle the cooking, cleaning, and home maintenance so you can focus on enjoying yourself.
Our assisted living community offers seniors the chance to maintain an active and independent lifestyle while helping with tasks like coordinating transportation or serving you three delicious daily meals. Meanwhile, taking the mundane tasks like laundry out of the equation will provide you with more time to explore your hobbies, nurture your passions and maintain a thriving social life.
With memory care, we’re here to provide residents living with Alzheimer’s and dementia with the person-centered care that they need. Your loved one will engage upon our daily path of engagement, designed to nurture their current skills and foster a sense of belonging and purpose. This research-backed program includes participation in gentle activities like brain games, dancing classes and music programs. We’ll help with daily support throughout the day, like meal assistance, bathing, or medication management. Our staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to be alerted to an emergency, and our exterior doors are kept secure and monitored.
You can choose from a variety of apartment floor plans, all customizable, and you’ll also enjoy access to our sunny outdoor porch, fireside living room, high-ceiling dining room, on-site chapel, salon, and tree-lined courtyard. The air throughout our community is run through an ionization purification system to protect against viral infections.

My family’s experience with Brookdale answered our prayers. With short notice, the administration was able to assist my family with the difficult task of housing a loved one into this institution. My family did it’s research on various assisted living facilities and chose Brookdale because of the friendly staff and expert care. I visited my parent nearly every day and the smiling faces, positivity, and clean environment was consistent. What I love the most was how the administration handled a few of the imperfections during the tenure of my father’s stay. Just like any large facility with many employees there are one or two employees that may have issues. The administration always made sure that the residents were happy by curing or solving the problems at hand, in a matter of days. Dealing with my father was difficult because you could never make him happy. Some mornings, it was depressing to go visit him because I listen to his unwarranted complaints, but when I entered the front door of the facility I was always met with the happy and positive energy from the staff that greeted me which made my visit more pleasant. The activities director was always going above and beyond to make sure my father was included in any type of field trip or exercise. I can honestly tell you I have shown up at various times on various days of the week and have always seen employees cleaning or working diligently to please the residents. I will also mention that the food was amazing. On several occasions, I have eaten at this establishment and found the food to be surprisingly very good for this type of institution. I have to say I’ve heard a few residents complain, but you can’t make everybody happy, like my father. In closing with its carefree environment, if I was not married and did not have a family, I would move into Brookdale at this time. But in the future I hope to God there is a facility like Brookdale around for me when the time comes to choose some type of assisted living.

Brookdale Lake Charles was an answer to prayer for our family. When you notice that your loved one is no longer able to live by themselves but extremely hesitant about making a change. The staff at Brookdale welcomed us with open arms and make our loved one feel so special. There is such a wide variety of activities for the residents. The residents absolutely love it when they know there is music coming, it may be an "Elvis" impersonator, a Ladies choir from a local church, maybe a Country Western singer. They love it all. There is a salon , Housekeeping is taken care of and they enjoy their meals in the dining room, where they are able to interact with other residents and make new friends. Mostly, we love the fact that the staff really cares.
