Brookdale Briargate

Brookdale Briargate gives memory care for people in all stages of Alzheimer's and other dementia, and staff use person-centered partnerships to really get to know each resident, which helps build trust and comfort, and folks will find a secure environment focused on safety, using things like way-finding cues and color-coded features to make moving around easier, and there's always staff awake and ready to help day or night. Residents can choose between rooms like the Silverdale Suite, Townsend Suite, or Richmond Suite, each with its own layout including bedrooms, sitting areas, closets, and private bathrooms, and the community has a small, home-like memory care area with about 14 rooms, so people aren't overwhelmed.

Everyone works on making sure residents feel they belong, have a purpose, and can experience moments of joy each day, whether they're joining music, singing, brain fitness, gardening, or community service programs, or just enjoying time in the fireside living room or out on the courtyard. The staff take a person-first approach and handle things like medication, diabetes care, incontinence care, and even behavioral management, with nurses, therapists, and other health professionals coming in when needed, so families know folks can be cared for as health needs change.

There's always something going on, with stretching classes, Tai Chi, art, and trips outside, or amenities like a salon, library, whirlpool, and game room, plus internet and Wi-Fi, and residents can eat meals together or choose from plenty of special diet options including gluten-free, low-sugar, vegan, or organic, and they can eat in a private dining room too. Pets are allowed, and pet care services help residents keep their cats or dogs by their side, and outdoor walking paths, covered patios, gardens, scenic grounds, and a porch make it easy to get some fresh air, while secured entries and alarm bracelets keep everyone safe.

The community's designed to help people age in place by offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all in one place, so residents don't need to move if care needs change, and people who are at risk of wandering or acting out can also be supported here. Anytime dining takes away stress from set mealtimes, and activities like Wii Bowling and trivia help folks stay connected, and devotional services are offered both onsite and off.

Brookdale Briargate has signature programs like Clare Bridge Training and Solace, a friendly and well-trained staff, and a focus on creating a positive atmosphere to help every resident enjoy life, keep their dignity, and feel a sense of independence. The whole campus is pet-friendly, has accessible showers and tubs, and offers respite and hospice care if needed, and there's transportation for outings and appointments, sometimes with a small fee, and the property's secured to protect all the people who live there.

Brookdale Briargate 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.
