Alzheimer’s and dementia care communities represent a special form of assisted living in which we offer housing, supportive services and care. Brookdale is one of the leading providers of Alzheimer’s and dementia care in the nation. Through our unique brand, Clare Bridge, we serve residents who require assistance with activities of daily living and provide a safe environment for them.
Daily Moments of Success
Physical and behavioral issues as well as life history are key factors in creating daily routines and service plans for residents. Brookdale’s Clare Bridge communities provide familiar surroundings that provide a reassuring sense of safety and meaning to their days. Our commitment to Alzheimer’s and dementia care is underscored by our Clare Bridge Promise that each resident will achieve Daily Moments of Success.
Brookdale communities offer a resident-centered program designed to meet the specific needs of those with various levels of dementia. It provides daily structure seven days per week to help maintain the resident’s abilities and encourage the use of their remaining skills.
Special Expertise for Special Needs
Working with and caring for those who have dementia requires special expertise. Clare Bridge staff members are carefully selected and trained to understand and manage the unique challenges associated with dementia care. They are also compassionate, understanding and creative.
Clare Bridge communities offer attractive and peaceful surroundings inside and out. Our homelike settings are designed to re-create environments people have enjoyed throughout their lives. Interior spaces are scaled and decorated like those of a private home. Indoor and enclosed outdoor walking paths give residents the opportunity to explore safely. Residents may have their own rooms and decorate with personal furnishings and other items that help connect them to their past.
Clare Bridge also offers its own Dining Program designed by a team of specialists including a gerontologist, a corporate chef and a professional dietician. This unique program preserves the resident’s ability to enjoy meals with special culinary offerings, personal assistance, consistent seating arrangements, music, centerpieces and fresh linens to heighten the dining experience.
Ongoing Learning for Enriching Lives
At Brookdale we understand that memory losses due to dementia are progressive and that resident needs are individual and continually changing. Through our Clare Bridge communities, programs and services we provide each resident with an individualized service plan to meet their specific needs and to enrich their lives.
Guidance and teaching on the complex task of providing excellent care for those with dementia is an ongoing effort at Brookdale’s Clare Bridge communities that involves all levels of Clare Bridge associates. Educating and training all associates in the proper techniques, approach and care of those with Alzheimer’s and dementia serves as the foundation for the growth of Brookdale’s Clare Bridge program.
