Beautiful & Comfortable Surroundings
Monroe Square was designed and built to provide the comfort, beauty and privacy you’d find in your own home. The innovative design provides private apartments as well as charming, home-like community areas for socializing, dining and entertaining. Private apartments are available in a variety of styles and sizes. Monroe Square is an intimate, single story building which makes all community areas easily accessible for individuals with limited mobility.
Highly Personalized Services & Care
We understand that your needs and preferences are yours alone. At Monroe Square we partner with each resident to design an individualized, personal service plan. Our service planning process, which is unique to Brookdale’s communities, bases service fees on delivering quality service and care to each individual. This approach provides the best customer value for our residents because they only pay for what they need and want. These Personalized Service Plans are reviewed regularly by staff to ensure that we meet the changing needs of our residents. Our trained staff is there to assist with personal needs – bathing or showering, selection of clothing, dressing assistance, grooming, hygiene, mobility and transferring and dining assistance – around the clock. At Monroe Square, help is always close at hand.
Compassionate Care, Professionally Managed
Working with and caring for our residents’ requires special talent and skill. Individuals who work at Monroe Square must be professional, compassionate and enjoyable to be around. They must be passionate about serving seniors. We invest a lot of time and resources finding and keeping the right people to serve our residents. Staff mostly work with and care for the same residents throughout the day, so a bond of trust is established. This continuity is not only important for developing strong relationships, it is key to detecting changes in our residents’ health status.
Keeping Life Vibrant
Integral to life at Monroe Square are the programs, outings and opportunities we offer to our residents. Our philosophy is to incorporate not only resident’s individual interests, but opportunities that allow them to make meaningful contributions to each other and the community on a regular basis. At Monroe Square it is not uncommon to see residents participating in a trivia contest, enjoying hand massages or walking club, going out to lunch, filling bird feeders, setting tables or participating in service projects. Pleasure, a sense of purpose and a feeling of usefulness are a part of life satisfaction at Monroe Square.
