Assisted Living, Independent Living & Memory Care · Akron, OH

Overview of Brookdale Montrose

Brookdale Montrose offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Akron, Ohio. Independent living provides a private residence with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and other daily tasks. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short term stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Having these care levels within one community may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time, since available services can remain in the same setting. Residents can choose studio, one bedroom, or two bedroom residences. A studio offers one private living space, while a two bedroom layout can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion. The starting price is $2,610 per month, though that figure is not tied to a specific care level or service package in the available information.

The community is in the Fairlawn neighborhood and has a Walk Score of 65, described as somewhat walkable, so some errands can be done on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to reach nearby errands independently. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving to the community.

A pool, salon and barber shop, fitness center, therapy room, and rehabilitation services provide options for exercise, grooming, and therapy without leaving the community. Chef prepared meals and an onsite bistro or cafe offer dining choices, while scheduled outings to local museums give residents organized activities away from home. Brookdale HealthPlus provides personalized preventive care, support for chronic condition management, and continued coordination of care. Brookdale Senior Living operates the community.
