Brookdale Lowry

Brookdale Lowry offers several living options for seniors, and the community provides independent living, assisted living, and memory care all on the same campus, so residents don't need to move if their needs change. The memory care section sits in its own building, purpose-built and smaller with about 14 rooms, locked and using security bracelets that ring an alarm if someone tries to leave, making it safer for people with Alzheimer's or dementia. The team at Brookdale Lowry includes senior living counselors, nurses, and caregivers who are available around the clock, along with visiting healthcare providers such as RNs, LPNs, podiatrists, dentists, therapists, and optometrists. Caregivers can help with insulin, medication, and daily reminders, and the facility supports residents with many mobility and medical needs, including skilled nursing and options for aging in place, hospice, and respite care. There are private rooms with full private bathrooms and pet-friendly policies, sometimes offering pet care, and handicapped access in common areas. Residents can use high-speed internet, move about indoor and outdoor spaces with a porch and wicker chairs, and enjoy the gym, fitness classroom, library, crafts room, billiards room, movie theater, salon, and social areas, and there's resident parking and complimentary transportation for getting to appointments or group outings. Meals focus on good nutrition and quality ingredients, catering to special diets like gluten-free or low sodium, and visitors can share guest meals. Activities are regular and varied, running from on-site devotional services, stretching, Tai Chi, art, gardening, and karaoke, to Wii bowling, trips, brain fitness, volunteering, and intergenerational programs, all led by a full-time activity director. Residents have the option to create a personalized care plan, with the facility able to adjust services as needs change, which means couples or friends can remain in the same place longer. Awards like Best of Senior Living and Best of 2025 Senior Living reflect the well-regarded staff and clean facilities, and management by Purple Door, LLC adds accountability. Community fees and second person fees do apply, but tours are available for families who want a closer look at daily routines, dining, activities, and different room layouts, offering a straightforward, no-pressure way to see if Brookdale Lowry might suit their needs.

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.
