Brookdale Forest City

Brookdale Forest City sits at 493 Piney Ridge Rd in Forest City, NC, and offers several types of care for seniors, like assisted living, memory care, respite care, at-home care, and independent living, so folks who need different levels of support can find what works for them depending on how much help they need with things like bathing, dressing, or remembering medications, and people who have Alzheimer's or other memory problems can get special attention in a safe, comfortable setting that's made to reduce wandering and confusion, with staff onsite day and night in case of emergencies. The place welcomes pets and makes spaces accessible for people with disabilities, so it's easy for almost anyone to get around. Seniors can spend time with neighbors in shared living rooms and common areas, eat in the dining room, join in on group activities and events, and use Wi-Fi whenever they want, and if someone still lives at home but needs some help, trained aides are ready for visits. The community runs special programs and signature Brookdale Life activities, and the awards for Best Activities, Most Friendly, and Best Meals and Dining show that folks there enjoy good food, friendly company, and lots of things to do. Gallery and logo images give visitors a look at the facility before stopping by. With independent living options for active seniors and more care services for those who need it, Brookdale Forest City gives people a chance to live in a setting where safety, help, and companionship are close at hand.

Brookdale Forest City 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.
