About Brookdale Alderwood

A Better Way to Do Memory Care We are a memory care community specializing in caring for residents with all types of dementia, with a home-like atmosphere and compassionate staff trained in the latest skills in caring for this special population. Because we just do one thing, which is to help seniors with dementia thrive, we're able to do it very, very well. Our memory care community is designed so your loved one feels safe and comfortable, while always being encouraged and respected. Specific programs and exercises help our memory care residents stay familiar with their home and keep their cognitive skills sharp. And even our buildings and facilities are designed with memory care in mind, like our courtyard, enclosed for resident safety, and a popular place where residents can watch the birds in our shaded gazebo, garden among the many flower beds and container gardens, or just relax in the shade with a cool drink. Through our industry-leading memory care program, we provide structure to each day in order to minimize the challenges those with dementia face in their daily lives. All activities are centered around the individual's personality and social history. Our daily routine includes: Discussions, reminiscence time, and brain stimulating games Exercise, including walking programs and dancing Individual/group activities promoting meaningful interactions and a sense of accomplishment A social peer group made up of other seniors in similar places on their senior journey? Even our dining program has been nationally recognized by the Assisted Living Federation of America, helping those with dementia have positive dining experiences by offering dementia-friendly menus, assistance, and consistent seating among friends. We don't skimp on the comfort, either, with special amenities including a beauty/barber shop, an arts and crafts studio, a fireside living room, and conveniences such as an in-house pharmacy and postal services, all on-site. Schedule a visit today and see what a different kind of memory care looks like. Discover what a whole person approach, combined with over 25 years of experience helping seniors thrive, can do to help your loved one live their own best life.

Our family's experience.

I would say a 4-5 on all of them. I think the price is overwhelming, but it is everywhere. The staff and knowing that he is safe and well cared for.

Good Value for Memory Care.

There is a set monthly cost. No "points" system which really drives up the cost. 2nd most important reason is the ability for my loved one to be able to walk in and out the doors and walk around the building in a safe environment whenever they wish. The building is all on ground level!

Overall a nice community and I would definitely recommend it.

The food is good, not much of a variety. I think the price at all of the facilities is outrageous. I have had some issues with some of my billings, but they were resolved after questioning them. I would, recommend this community to others, but be prepared for the cost. My husband is being well cared for, the people that work there in all capacities couldn't be nicer.

Best value for great care and a friendly community

I like the availability of the nurses. I really like that they do not add costs for each little thing my mother needs. They can definitely improve on the food. I understand these are memory care people, but some of them could still enjoy better food. I do not find the new director to be very personable or helpful in questions and concerns that I have. The nurses are, however, personable and very helpful. I'm mostly deal with them. I would recommend this place because it is clean acceptable and especially because of

We've been here over 6 months, and overall very pleased with everything. There could be a few more activities for wheel chair bound, tossing balloon or bean bags toss. The cost is relatively high but overall care is great.
