Brookdale Senior Living, one of the largest owner and operator of senior living communities, is pleased to announce that nine of its communities have earned the prestigious Brookdale Cornerstones of Quality award.
The Cornerstones of Quality is a program that was designed and developed for the Brookdale Senior Living healthcare communities to establish and demonstrate the highest standards of quality care for residents. The Brookdale Cornerstones of Quality philosophy is built on three key components: awareness, responsibility and culture. The purpose of the program is to reward Brookdale communities who learn, improve, and help create and broaden a quality-oriented culture.
Celebrating successful achievement of this program is represented in the earning of the Brookdale Cornerstones of Quality award.

- Broadway Plaza in Fort Worth, Texas.
- Summit Westlake Hills in Austin.
