Brookdale Westover Hills

Assisted living and memory care share one campus at Brookdale Westover Hills, 6201 Plaza Parkway in Fort Worth. Brookdale Senior Living operates the community, and because both levels of care are offered together, a resident who needs more support later may be able to stay in the same home instead of moving to an entirely new address across the city.

Apartments are pet-friendly and maintenance-free, so residents are not responsible for upkeep or repairs. Assisted living includes supervision of daily activities such as bathing and dressing and supervision of residents taking their own medications, with support available as needs change over time rather than staying fixed at one set level indefinitely.

Memory care serves residents living with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia who need closer supervision and a more structured day. A staff member is on-site around the clock, and families should ask how the transition from assisted living to memory care is handled if it becomes necessary for a resident down the road, and what the process looks like day to day.

Families in the Fort Worth area weighing a continuum-of-care model against separate communities for each level can compare senior living in Fort Worth to see what else is available nearby before scheduling a visit, particularly if a resident's needs are likely to change within the next year or two and a second move would be disruptive.
