Individualized Care Plans

Our exclusive personalized service system allows us to provide individually customized plans for you. We start with an assessment to learn how we can support you.

Your customized plan means you only pay for the services you need. And we’re flexible, so when your needs decrease or increase, your plan and its cost do, too. We believe this flexible service plan is the best way to meet you right where you are, allowing you to live life the way you want without extra stress.

What Our Clare Bridge Community Can Offer Your Loved One

Personalized Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

Residents of our memory care community receive personalized care that fosters a sense of belonging and purpose while seeking to preserve identity and sense of self. Our care associates spend time learning about your loved one’s pasts, their likes and dislikes, and what makes them feel known and cherished throughout an ordinary day to provide relationship-rich care built on trust, loving concern and a sense of family. Knowing and being present in relationships with your family member gives us a strong foundation to anticipate unmet needs and lessen behavioral symptoms.

Clare Bridge®: Our Approach to Memory Care

Clare Bridge is our exclusive brand of dementia care created more than 30 years ago. It has continually evolved as we learn more about seniors with dementia, but the goal is to provide residents with a gentle structure of six planned programs per day that help support their current abilities and help preserve their remaining skills.

A day in the life of a Clare Bridge resident may include things like a morning cognitive workout with discussions and brain stimulating games. Residents also participate in a variety of physical activities ranging from our B-Fit program to walking groups and dancing. Having a daily, structured routine like this is a great way to help your loved one feel a sense of security knowing they are right where they need to be.

Solace: Support For Late-Stage Dementia

The Solace program, which is offered in every Clare Bridge community, is designed to meet the special needs of residents in the advanced stages of dementia. The Solace program does not replace any elements of the overall Clare Bridge daily path of life enrichment, but rather adds an extra layer of programming within the larger memory care program. Highlights of the Solace program include extra time for grooming, activities involving the senses, music and aromatherapy.

The Clare Bridge Embrace™ Family Partnership Program

The Embrace Family Partnership is a caregiver-focused program, which offers educational resources and support for the families of residents with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Through Embrace Family Events, hosted at your loved one’s Brookdale community, we provide opportunities to learn about dementia care, develop friendships and connections, explore advocacy and support one another during this period in a caregiver or family member’s life, while highlighting Brookdale’s person-centered care philosophy.
