    Caring small community, accessibility issues

    I toured for my mom and liked the warm, attentive staff, clean/homey feel, good meals and lots of activities in a small (under-50) community - residents seemed happy and cared for. Staff were patient and friendly, nursing available, and the facility felt safe and well maintained. Downsides for us: many rooms and doorways are tiny (not great for larger wheelchairs), outdoor walking space is limited, and I saw some hygiene/staffing concerns (reused mop, slow buzzer/response at times). Food can be repetitive, and pricing/admin communication was confusing. Overall a caring, pleasant place, but not the right fit for our needs.

    About Brookdale East Tucson

    Brookdale East Tucson offers different living options for older adults, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and hospice care, and the staff helps residents with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medication management, while also providing care specific to those living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, which means you can find a range of services in one place if your needs change over time, and there's always someone available to assist, thanks to 24-hour staffing. The community offers private suites with several floor plans, some with kitchens or kitchenettes, private bathrooms, cozy armchairs, and natural light, and there are options for both furnished and unfurnished units, so you can choose what works best.

    You'll find comfortable shared spaces like a living room with a fireplace, a sunroom for relaxation, a library for quiet reading, card and game rooms, and a residents' lounge, and there are also outdoor patios, paved walking paths, well-kept grounds with shady spots, and a courtyard where you can sit and enjoy the weather. Brookdale East Tucson has a dining room with restaurant-style meal service, and meals are served three times a day, prepared by a chef using fresh, seasonal ingredients, and you'll also find an ice-cream parlor for treats.

    Staff encourages social interaction and a sense of community by organizing outings to Tucson's local attractions and events, and you'll see regular activities like fitness classes, game nights, art and crafts, and opportunities for residents to spend time together, so there's always something to do or someone to talk to if you'd like company. Residents can use on-site amenities such as the beauty and barber salon, business center, computer access, laundry and housekeeping services, internet/Wi-Fi, and transportation for errands or appointments.

    Brookdale welcomes pets and offers pet-friendly policies, including pet therapy, and staff works with residents to create individualized care plans for comfort and peace of mind, aiming to help everyone age gracefully and maintain a good quality of life in a supportive, respectful setting. There's access to cable or satellite TV, emergency call systems in units, controlled access buildings for security, and health and safety are important parts of everyday life here. Brookdale East Tucson's team believes in helping each person feel at home while supporting independence as much as possible, and they offer signature programs, wellness support, and care partnerships that add to the community's sense of belonging and comfort.

    About Brookdale

    Brookdale East Tucson is managed by Brookdale.

    Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) is the largest senior living operator in the United States, managing over 640 communities with capacity for approximately 59,000 residents across 41 states and employing around 36,000 associates. Founded in 1978 and publicly traded since 2005, Brookdale solidified its market leadership through major acquisitions including American Retirement Corporation (2006) and Emeritus Senior Living (2014), making it the only national full-spectrum senior living company. Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Brookdale has topped the American Seniors Housing Association's ASHA 50 list and Argentum's largest providers list for multiple consecutive years.

    The company's comprehensive care continuum includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). Brookdale's signature Clare Bridge program, developed over 30 years ago by dementia-care experts, provides specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care through two distinct levels: Clare Bridge communities for comprehensive memory support and the Clare Bridge Solace program for advanced-stage dementia residents. The program is recognized by the Alzheimer's Association® for incorporating evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations and features secure environments, enclosed courtyards, Daily Path programming with six structured activities daily, and the InTouch technology platform offering personalized brain-stimulating games and therapeutic content.

    Brookdale's holistic Optimum Life® wellness approach balances six dimensions—Purposeful, Physical, Emotional, Social, Spiritual, and Intellectual—implemented through signature programs including B-Fit (eight exercise class options), Brain Fit (mental fitness workouts), My Life Story (resident storytelling), EngagementPlus (interest-based connections), Growing Together (collaborative learning), and The Ageless Spirit (kindness and gratitude practices). The Embrace Family Partnership provides caregiver education and support for families of memory care residents.

    The company's Brookdale HealthPlus® care coordination model, winner of the 2024 Argentum Best of the Best Award placing it among the top 1% of operators, is a technology-enabled healthcare service featuring dedicated RN Care Managers who proactively manage residents' health, coordinate care transitions, and help prevent avoidable hospitalizations. Communities using HealthPlus report 78% fewer urgent care visits, 36% fewer hospitalizations, and 63% more completed annual wellness visits. The Personal Solutions program delivers hygiene products, medications, and daily necessities directly to residents' doors with discreet packaging and monthly billing convenience.

    Following a strategic divestiture of its home health and hospice operations to HCA Healthcare (completed December 2023), Brookdale now focuses exclusively on senior living operations while maintaining its position as the industry's largest operator, committed to its mission of enriching lives with compassion, respect, excellence, and integrity.
