A visit to Brookdale’s communities reveals a tapestry of individuals who come from many walks of life – some have been homemakers, business executives, artists, pilots, school teachers or veterans to name a few. In addition to the variety of backgrounds are the diversity of capability levels and life circumstances. Some are very active and are looking for a way to enhance their lifestyle, while others have physical and/or mental limitations and need services and care to maintain their quality of life. Some choose a Brookdale community on their own, others with the assistance of family and still others have family members make the choice for them.
Many residents come from homes where they’ve lived for several decades – raising their children and sometimes grandchildren – and who now no longer want the responsibility or can no longer handle the upkeep of a house. Some have lost a loved one – whether it’s a spouse, family member or dear friend – and seek companionship. Some residents have lived in the surrounding community all of their lives and want to remain connected to their ties in the area. Still others move to a Brookdale community from different states, to be closer to children or grandchildren.
Whatever their reasons for moving to Brookdale communities, our compassionate, well-trained staff is here to make the transition comfortable. Our staff members pride themselves on the variety of services and programs that are available to assist residents with this transition and to help them maintain as much independence as possible.
At Brookdale Senior Living, our greatest source of new residents is referrals from our current residents. Our residents and their families are glad to recommend us to their family and friends because they’ve experienced our exceptional service and personalized care firsthand.
