From The Community
Are you ready for more adventures and fewer chores? Come see if our continuing care retirement community, or CCRC, is the right fit for you and your family. Here at Brookdale University Park in Birmingham, Alabama, you’ll have independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing all on one campus. So if you or your spouse need more care later, you can have the lifestyle you want and the care you need. Plus, our campus is located near Shades Valley Greenway, Vestavia Country Club, and some of Birmingham’s best shops and restaurants.
If you’re looking for more ways to live your best life, you’ve come to the right place. We can take care of the chores while you focus on what you want to do. Here are just a few of the possibilities for fun activities right here on campus:
-
Garden club

Arts and crafts classes

Mix and mingle social events

Fitness classes
And that’s just a few of the activities available on campus. We also plan trips out to local restaurants and some of the area’s favorite stores and local attractions.
For memory care residents, we offer a program, also known as Clare Bridge, that’s rooted in a person-centered approach. This means we help our residents find a sense of belonging and purpose while also helping them preserve who they are and find daily moments of joy.

Our campus is all about supporting your independent lifestyle where you can live your best life. You can go for a stroll through our gardens on paved walking paths. If you love gardening and flowers, spend time in our courtyard gardens. When it’s dinnertime, head to the upscale dining room for tasty and nutritious dishes.

My husband will be moving into Brookdale University Park Alabama. I liked that it didn't look like an institution. It looked like a resort. The staff was professional and courteous. The rooms looked like nice apartments. They had various areas for activities. It had a dedicated physical therapy room, a dedicated gym, and an area for television or theater. It had so many different dedicated areas for various social and medical activities that were just really, really impressive. They had a food menu of various things you could choose and an alternative to choose from, and that's one of the best things that I liked about it. They had private dining and common areas. It was not like you were putting somebody into a nursing home. It was like somebody was going to live in an apartment where there were activities. There was a planned activity calendar with various activities every day just for independent living. There would be games, crafts, going to restaurants, taking them to the grocery store, and taking them to doctors. They also had a little place, like a bistro, where you could go in and purchase coffee, a sandwich, a soup, or a Coke.

I went to Brookdale University Park Alabama. It was a very pleasant visit. I had lunch with an old friend who's living there. I also visited another older friend while I was there, and we had lunch. I liked the size of the rooms. It was a very nice place. I am considering living there in a few years. The staff was very informative and gave me a bunch of information to take home and look at and I have. I feel like I know what's there and it is something I will consider as a possibility. The food was excellent. It was not too much, which I liked as well. It was a reasonable portion, but not huge. The menu had eggplant parmesan, chicken marsala, and spaghetti. Based on my friend's recommendation, I got the spaghetti and it was very good. All of the rooms, as I understand it, have either a courtyard or a balcony. The room I looked at was on the second floor, so it had a balcony. The staff was very accommodating and informative. It's a good location.

I would definitely recommend Brookdale University Park. The staff is very friendly and we feel we get honest helpful feedback from them. Though my mom is always wanting to "go home", she is satisfied and has become close to and comfortable with the staff. They are always coming to get her to take her to activities...which are always fun and well thought out. We do have additional hired help during the day, but that is just due to my mom's special needs. The food is fine, but my mom is just picky and doesn't always eat. She and my brother enjoy going out to eat, so I think she may just be a little spoiled (as well she should be). Bottom line, with all the different places we've tried, we would choose Brookdale University Park over all of the others.

So that was fine. The room she showed us was empty, but it was not the room that we would like. The living atmosphere was good. It was quite clean. The staff members were very helpful.

I was not that impressed with Brookdale University Park, because the assisted living where we would be, was like on the third or fourth floor. It was clean and nice, but it gave you a little bit of a cramped feeling, and the ceilings were low. The room that we saw was nice and kept up well. It was spacious enough and was laid out well. There was room for the residents to have their own furniture, and pretty much every one of them did. They were decorated to each person's taste, which is great, because you see lots of different things that way. It's an older building, but they were maintaining it well. The food looked very good. We were actually there around Memorial Day and they were doing barbecues.

I like Brookdale University Park Alabama. I like the person that took care of me and I like her professionalism. They are thorough with everything. They made sure that I understood what she was relaying about because I'm new to this field of how to care for my loved ones. She coached me through it to a level that I can understand. She explained to me the different parts of it and made me feel more at ease because I'm dealing with a precious diamond that I'm giving to them, which is my sister. Those mean a lot to me. Even though the price is kind of high, my family and I will try to work out something to get that done. Her safety and her security are my main thing, and just listening to the staff, secured me that my sister will be fine out there. For what my sister needs, the size of the room was perfect. There is a shower with a bathroom, and everything is accessible. They have some type of program where they can detect when a person has fallen. There are a lot of things they have that are up to date that got my attention. I was impressed with the facility. Some of their people were engaged and playing games with the residents, so they were keeping them involved in different things on one of the floors. I saw them out there engaging with them. I was impressed with that. The staff showed me the dining area and how they get to cook things. They also take them out to eat once a week anywhere they want to go. I thought that was great. The facility is well maintained. They keep it thoroughly clean.
