Brookdale Medical Center Whitby Description
Retirement is a time for you to embrace all that life has to offer, and Brookdale Medical Center Whitby is the perfect place to do this. Our assisted living community is close to numerous churches, hospitals, shopping and restaurants, as well as remarkable local attractions, including the historic Alamo and the world-famous San Antonio River Walk.
Our community offers an engaging social life that will pull you away from the TV and into card and board games, happy hour socials, art and other creative projects, fitness classes, lively meals, fun outings and anything else that you want to do. You’ll find other seniors to bond with over mutual interests and common experiences, such as career fields, college days or time in the military service. And there’s always the security of knowing that our staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency.
