Chef-Prepared Dining at Brookdale Durham

Brookdale Durham believes that dining should be a pleasurable experience. Their kitchen has been designed to provide the highest quality meals for residents. The on-site dietitian works with the chef to create new recipes, which are then tested in the kitchen for taste and nutritional value.

The community’s meal plan offers a variety of choices including special diets such as low sodium, low fat, vegetarian and diabetic. The Brookdale Durham Dining Hall is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. 

Explore Shopping and Dining in Durham, NC

You’ll also find some great shopping at Durham’s local farmers markets and outdoor markets on weekends. The Durham Farmer’s Market is open every Saturday from April through November and offers fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers and baked goods from local farmers as well as arts and crafts vendors selling their wares. 

Visit the Durham Bulls Athletic Park and watch a Durham Bulls baseball game, or head over to the Carolina Theatre to see a movie. Duke University’s campus is also worth checking out, especially when they have free concerts on the lawn in front of Baldwin Auditorium.

From The Community

Retirement should be filled with fun activities, fulfilling passion projects, and plenty of laughter with friends. Here at Brookdale Durham, that’s exactly what life looks like. Our assisted living and memory care campus is located in Durham, North Carolina, with convenient access to shopping centers, restaurants, and local attractions like Duke Chapel and Eno River State Park. The great thing about our community, though, is that you never have to venture far to find something interesting to do.

You’ll find lots of great on-site amenities at every turn, like our fully-stocked library, courtyard garden, and salon. Our community also plans a robust events calendar, where you can look forward to activities like:

• Group fitness classes

• Tabletop game competitions

• Garden and Grow club

• Crochet club

• Group sing-alongs

When it’s time to recharge at the end of the day, you’ll have your very own apartment you can call home. Residents have a few apartment floor plan options to choose from—each designed with a private bathroom, spacious closets, and windows for an abundance of natural light. Best of all, our community is pet-friendly! We know it wouldn’t feel like home sweet home without your four-legged best friend.

When it comes to daily responsibilities like cleaning and cooking, you can leave that to us. We provide housekeeping and restaurant-style dining with a rotating menu of delicious chef-prepared meals. Choose between Italian baked salmon, roast pork loin, or a turkey burger one day, and between braised pork chops with gravy, peppered roast beef, or chicken in white wine and tarragon the next. Life truly feels like a vacation here at Brookdale.

When it comes to care, we offer two levels: assisted living and memory care. Assisted living is best suited for seniors who live a fairly independent lifestyle but could use a helping hand with little things, like dressing, transportation coordination, and medication management.

For seniors with Alzheimer’s or dementia, our memory care program offers a structured daily path of engagement, gentle reminders, and a deeper level of support. Our care staff is here to help with tasks like medication administration, getting around campus, and dining assistance when needed.

And of course, we understand how important safety and peace of mind are. That’s why we have a 24-hour security system and staff on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency.
