Overview of Brookdale Northshore

Brookdale Northshore is an independent living community in Portland, Texas. Residents have a private residence along with community services rather than daily care. Apartments and cottages come in studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom layouts. A studio is one private space, while a two bedroom layout can work well for a couple moving together.

Monthly prices start at $2,890, giving families an initial figure for budgeting independent living. The Walk Score is 33, describing a car dependent setting where most errands require a car or a ride. A resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips, and transportation is available at the community.

Residents can use the pool and salon, spend time in the landscaped grounds or courtyard, and tend to garden areas. These spaces provide options for recreation, personal grooming, and being outdoors. Outings add opportunities for activities away from the community, while meals emphasize whole grains, lean proteins, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Residents can also share favorite recipes and take part in menu discussions.

Pets are allowed, so a resident can keep a pet in the community. Respite care is available for short stays, which can help when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. Brookdale Senior Living owns the community.
