Brookdale Ann Arbor

Brookdale Ann Arbor has a mix of services for seniors, including assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, skilled nursing, independent living, and options for continuing care, so residents can get more help if their needs change over time, and there's also at home care for people who want to stay where they are. The community does a lot to keep things home-like, with big windows for lots of light, a grand foyer with comfortable chairs and warm lighting, and a building that stands out with turrets, stone, and classic details. For people who need memory care, there's a special area with a vintage jukebox, big windows, and common spaces for relaxing or talking. The whole place has plenty of common rooms like a bistro, billiards room, library, and private dining area, and there's a patio, walking paths, a gazebo, and swings outside surrounded by nice landscaping so folks can sit, walk, or spend time with visitors under the trees. The therapy rooms have all sorts of equipment like parallel bars, ellipticals, weights, and padded tables for rehab or daily exercise. There's a salon with hair dryers, styling chairs, and warm floors so everyone can keep up with personal care. The dining rooms have wooden tables, striped chairs, soft lighting, and art on the walls, and there's good food for different needs. Residents can join in activities like karaoke duets with pro hosts, which happens every third Wednesday and even welcomes guests. Staff trained in dementia care are available 24/7, and there's an alert system to keep everyone safe. Unique programs and events promote what they call an Optimum Life®, which means taking care of wellness, independence, hobbies, and staying part of a community. Whether a person needs more help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or medicine, or wants to enjoy the independence of having their own kitchenette or library time, Brookdale Ann Arbor offers options to match different lifestyles and stages of health, with everything set up to make life easier and a bit more enjoyable in the later years.

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.
