Brookdale Highlands

Brookdale Highlands is a senior living community with assisted living, independent living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement options, in a two-story building where residents get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and taking medications if they need it, but they can still keep their independence in many other ways, and when it comes to memory care, the facility is set up for seniors living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, so staff use individualized care plans and set up activities meant to keep residents engaged, in a safe and secure environment with trained staff always available, day and night, to help with emergencies. The apartments here come in several floor plans, including customizable studio units, one- and two-bedroom choices, and even villas, with private living spaces full of natural light, and everyone's allowed to bring pets-pets just help folks feel at home, you know, and outside you'll see screened porches, a wooden walkway, a gazebo that overlooks a peaceful lake, and plenty of space for walks or just sitting and enjoying the view. Residents get three meals each day, prepared by professional chefs with a focus on nutrition, and the dining room uses fine china and has a warm, inviting feel, while anyone who needs beautician services can get them onsite, and there are devotional services offered both at the building and at nearby locations. There's a game room with a pool table and puzzles, a fitness room with equipment like recumbent bikes, a community room for gathering, and lots of activities-you know, clubs, educational workshops, trivia nights, fitness classes, and even outings to local spots-so there's always something happening and a way to socialize, but if someone wants quiet time, there are also areas to just sit and relax. Nursing staff are here and a doctor's on call, so medical needs are monitored, and physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available alongside general counseling, dental care, and home care services with aides that help out at home when needed. Wheelchair-accessible showers, resident parking, free transportation, housekeeping, and laundry come as part of the support, and safety is a big focus with emergency alert systems, 24-hour staff, and secure spaces, especially for those in memory care. It's a smoke-free community indoors and accepts male and female residents, offering both hospice and short-term respite options when families need a hand. People who want an active lifestyle can find clubs and classes, those who want spiritual support find services, people needing extra care get it, and those who like being outdoors have options to enjoy the fresh air, all within one community that's been offering support since 2020, with friendly, trained staff who focus on health, independence, and quality of life for everyone-if nothing else, Brookdale Highlands does its best to make wellness real each day.

Brookdale Highlands 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.
