Brookwood Residential Care Home

Brookwood has been a residential care home for over 25 years. We operate in a cozy, turn of the century federal style home. Our residence has been renovated as little as possible to maintain the integrity of the at home feeling, while also maintaining and adhering to strict state, and local regulations. At Brookwood, we are able to provide individual care to seniors of varying abilities. Brookwood is a licensed level III facility. What that means is that we are ready and able to provide care for our residents should their needs increase as they age. This, in turn, means that they are able to stay home much longer with out, in many instances, having to move to a nursing home. WHO LIVES AT BROOKWOOD AND WHY Brookwood has a diverse occupancy with a mix of men and women and a wide range of assistance requirements.
