Personalized Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care

Your loved one will benefit from our more than 25 years of providing research-based care for those with Alzheimer’s or other dementia. To create a sense of stability and comfort that they are well-known where they live, our care associates focus on getting to know our residents’ histories, routines, and preferences. Knowing and being present with your loved one gives us a solid foundation to anticipate their needs throughout all stages of the disease and address behavioral expressions that may occur due to dementia symptoms. We are committed to person-centered partnerships, building relationships with trust, loving concern, and a sense of family.

Clare Bridge®: Our Approach to Memory Care

Clare Bridge is our exclusive brand of Alzheimer’s and dementia care that serves both you and your loved one. Our mission is to help your loved one feel a strong sense of belonging, build friendships, and support their current abilities through personalized and purposeful engagement. Just because someone you love is experiencing memory loss, it doesn’t mean that they should have to sacrifice their quality of life. Our residents spend their days in a secure place, surrounded by familiar people who encourage them to enjoy life, experience feelings of belonging and purpose, and support current abilities through our Clare Bridge Daily Path programming.

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.

Our Community and Care

A Secure Setting

Our specialization in memory care allows us to provide great care. Each care provider is trained for the particular challenges and needs of helping those living with Alzheimer’s or other dementia to thrive. Our community includes dementia-friendly features and helpful way-finding cues, like color coding and circular paths that lead to activity areas. We also have security features like secured entrances and exits and secure community outdoor spaces, with staff available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Supportive Environments

Our community is carefully designed and decorated to feel just like home. Your loved one can choose from private and companion suites that include natural window light and ample storage. With community areas designed to be the perfect spots for quiet moments or gathering with friends, our residents have plenty of spots to enjoy their life here. Your family member can spend the day at our on-site beauty parlor, our fireside living room, or our courtyard and walking areas.

Consistent Care Assignments

We strive to provide consistent care assignments so that your loved one is cared for by the same Brookdale associates whenever possible. We aim to form a relationship-rich partnership with each resident to promote regularity and familiarity. Our staff handles daily tasks such as laundry and housekeeping while providing support for your loved one throughout the day, whether bathing, during meals, taking medication, or more.

Engaging Programs

Our daily path of engagement offers a gentle daily structure of six planned programs. These programs strive to preserve your loved one’s current abilities and encourage the use of their current skills. Activities include a morning cognitive workout with discussions, brain-stimulating games, and physical activity with a variety of opportunities like our walking programs, B-Fit program, and dancing. We find that a daily routine gives your loved one a sense of security and accomplishment.

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.
