Questions about Brook Ridge
Independent living communities cater to residents who need little or no help with activities of daily living, such as bathing and dressing, but want access to the many benefits and amenities retirement communities offer. In an independent retirement community, residents rent private apartments or cottages and then take advantage of shared spaces and amenities like walking paths, on-site gyms, and restaurant-style dining.
Although residents live independently, some available services provide a more comfortable retirement, like chef-prepared meals, lawn care, home maintenance, and on-site salons. Independent living communities allow residents to experience resort-style retirement for a fixed monthly rent.
There is one primary difference between independent and assisted living: independent living residents receive no help with their activities of daily living, like bathing, toileting, and dressing, while assisted living residents need some help. Because of this difference, independent living and assisted living communities are also staffed a little differently. Assisted living communities generally have caregivers available to help residents with personal care and everyday activities.
Both independent and assisted living communities offer a myriad of complimentary services, amenities, and activities that residents can enjoy in their free time. Furthermore, utilities, maintenance, laundry, and housekeeping are standard in both independent and assisted living facilities.
Our independent living communities are cat- and dog-friendly, and many offer concierge services to help residents find a dog walker when needed. We recognize the research showing the benefits of pet ownership during retirement and the important role pets can play after the loss of a spouse or partner. We’re proud to provide communities that welcome pets and the companionship they bring.
Residents are responsible for pet care, including:
• providing pet food and supplies
• feeding their pets and ensuring they have adequate water
• cleaning up after their pets
• taking their pets outside when needed
• walking and exercising their pets, and
• ensuring their pets are up-to-date on immunizations
Many communities feature dog parks or pet relief areas equipped with waste bags for resident convenience.
Independent living expenses vary from community to community, depending on the cost of living in that region and the floor plan the resident selects (ranging from studio apartments to two-bedroom apartments). Many residents are able to enjoy the luxury of retirement in an independent living community starting around $2,200 per month.
We encourage prospective residents to meet with their financial advisors to determine whether they can afford to move. Many residents find that they save money by selling their home and paying one, low monthly fee for all the services, amenities, and utilities they need to enjoy security and adventure in retirement.
Each independent living community offers restaurant-style dining, with three chef-prepared meals served daily and convenient food options available after hours for added flexibility. Menu selections can accommodate common allergies, food preferences, and special dietary needs, including heart-healthy, diabetes-friendly, and low-sodium choices.
During your visit, we encourage you to ask for a copy of the current menu so you know exactly what to expect.
In addition, many residents enjoy cooking and preparing meals in their en-suite kitchen, or exploring the city by visiting local eateries and grills in their spare time. There’s no shortage of options in and around our retirement communities!
