Brookdale Diablo Lodge

Brookdale Diablo Lodge stands out as a two-story senior living community set against the foothills of Mount Diablo, where residents can choose from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments ranging from 415 to 681 square feet, some of them with balconies or patios, and everyone has access to clean, well-kept common areas like dining rooms, a salon, courtyards, and gardens, so there's always a spot to relax or gather with friends, and they allow pets too, so folks can bring their animal companions with them if they'd like. The community focuses mostly on assisted living, which means the care team helps with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and medication management, but folks also get independent living and some nursing support, so care plans are tailored to fit the support each person needs, and with staff around twenty-four hours a day, there's always someone close by in an emergency or for extra help. Residents get to make use of transportation services for things like shopping or medical appointments, and the activities calendar has options from fitness classes and art workshops to games, hobbies, and group trips out to local places, which means there's almost always something going on if someone wants to join in. Meals are served in communal dining rooms or can be enjoyed privately, with both home-style and restaurant-style choices, and the kitchen appliances in the units make it possible to do some cooking too if folks still want to. The community puts a lot of attention on wellness, including physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs, and the staff works hard to keep the atmosphere welcoming, clean, and friendly, with gardens and walking paths outside and a cheerful staff greeting residents every day. Housekeeping, laundry, linen service, maintenance, parking, library access, an emergency alert system, and personalized care plans all add practical support, with costs based on the level of service a person chooses, so no one pays for more care than fits their needs. Brookdale Diablo Lodge welcomes residents with different health conditions, including those with dementia, and tries to follow each resident's wishes when it comes to their care and privacy, and the goal is to help folks keep their independence for as long as they can, rather than just providing care. Brookdale has run retirement communities since 1978, and Diablo Lodge holds California state license #079200382, which ensures it's a verified and recognized provider. Prospective residents and families can schedule a tour to learn more and see if the fit is right for them.

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.
