Brookdale Parkplace

Independent living, assisted living and memory care share one campus at Brookdale Parkplace, 111 Emerson Street in Denver. Brookdale Senior Living operates the community, which means a resident who needs more support later does not have to leave the neighborhood to get it, and a couple can stay together even when one partner needs more help than the other.

Apartments are pet-friendly, and common areas are built for residents to gather for meals and scheduled events. Upper floors offer skyline views of downtown Denver, a detail families notice on a first visit. Concierge services and linen and housekeeping service are part of daily life here, which cuts down on the chores that can make staying at home harder.

Assisted living covers supervision of daily activities such as bathing and dressing along with supervision of residents taking their own medications, and staff are available around the clock. Memory care serves residents living with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia, with a schedule built for more structure and closer supervision through the day as needs change over time.

Park Hill Branch Denver Public Library is among the civic resources near the community for families who want to combine a visit with an errand. For a broader look at senior living in Denver, families can compare Brookdale Parkplace against other campuses in the area before deciding, since each one structures its levels of care a little differently.
