About the community

Here, residents receive personalized memory care programming, as well as a helping hand with medication management, daily housekeeping, meals, and more. Trained staff members provide person-centered care to residents with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia. The community’s Clare Bridge program, for example, helps individuals focus on sustaining feelings of belonging, purpose, and safety, while preserving their sense of self. Around six activities are planned and incorporated into residents daily lives, and include a variety of cognitive and physical workouts. The Solace program adds an additional layer of programming to the Clare Bridge process and provides additional time for grooming, as well as sensory activities filled with music and aromatherapy.

PositiveThe facility and staff that I met with were wonderfully kind and professional. The facility itself was 5 Star fantastic! The only issue I had was actually with A Place for Mom and not Brookdale. I was very clear regarding the monthly cost my loved one could afford and yet I was referred to Brookdale which is clearly above that threshold. Not helpful!
★★★★★

PositiveWhen you walk into the facility it's bright and welcoming. It's always decorated for the different seasons. I'm impressed with the cleanliness of the facility. When I brought my mom in for assessment, the gentleman performing the test was extremely difficult to understand. English is not his native language and his accent is challenging to understand.
★★★★★
CriticalNegative would be lack of communication. I don't get updated on anything and have had a hard time getting responses when I reach out regarding specific things. Positive would be activities available. My dad hasn't really participated but the residents I've seen while visiting seem to enjoy it.
