Brookdale Auburn

Brookdale Auburn is a senior living community set up for people who want a place to call home as they get older, and it offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, and Continuing Care Retirement Community services, so there are different options based on what someone might need over time, and folks can move between levels of care if their needs change. Residents here can get help with things like bathing, dressing, medication management, and daily tasks, and trained staff are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so someone's always there to help if there's an emergency or a health issue. Memory Care is available in the Clare Bridge program, which has activities meant to keep folks with Alzheimer's and other dementias as engaged and comfortable as possible, with a secured environment, a wander alert system that uses bracelets, and special care for different cognitive and physical needs; plus, there's also supervision and reminders for things like grooming, toileting, and meals, as well as assistance with transfers if someone needs extra help getting around, even with two-person assist or mechanical lifts. Skilled nursing is available as well as regular visits from healthcare professionals like nurses, podiatrists, therapists, and more, so residents have access to a range of help including diabetic care and incontinence support.

All the basics like housekeeping, laundry and dry-cleaning, cooking, and grocery shopping are taken care of, and residents have the option for restaurant-style dining, anytime dining, and private dining rooms, with meals cooked by a professional chef, including special options for vegetarian, low-sodium, and low-sugar diets and 24/7 dining for those who want more flexibility, plus guest meals are welcome too. Brookdale Auburn offers complimentary transportation and parking for residents, and it sits near bus lines, making getting out to appointments or errands a little easier, but organized trips and outings are also part of the regular calendar, including social, educational, and entertainment programs that cover everything from Tai Chi, yoga, art, and gardening clubs, to trivia, Wii bowling, wine tasting, and holiday events like trick-or-treating. There are devotional services, including Catholic services and visits from chaplains, plus a library, community room with a fireplace, arts and crafts center, outside patio gardens, kitchen area, beauty salon and barber shop, TV lounge, movie room, free Wi-Fi, and resident-centered wellness programs that encourage people to stay connected and active.

Respite care and hospice care are options, and the community's set up so that people can age in place without having to move somewhere else as their needs change. There's a focus on allowing pets, welcoming both cats and dogs, and staff provide pet care when needed, which is nice for pet lovers who want to keep their companions close, and outdoor smoking is allowed too in designated spaces. Resident rooms have different floor plans and pricing levels, with studio Memory Care rooms averaging about $7,325 per month and semi-private rooms around $5,525, and fees for various management levels, ranging from $500 for low care, $1,500 for medium care, and $4,200 for high care, plus community and respite fees.

Brookdale Auburn is described as welcoming, with a cozy and home-like feel, and there are activity directors and a concierge to help keep everything on track. The staff gets training to support both everyday life and serious needs, and there's a 24-hour call system so every resident can get help right away. This place focuses on making sure people get individual attention, no matter if they're living independently, need a little help, or require specialized memory care, and there's lots of room for people to enjoy life their own way, with programs, services, and amenities set up to support both comfort and safety as people age.

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.

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.
