Brookdale Lexington

Brookdale Lexington stands as a one-story senior living community where folks can pick from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, many of which come with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and either furnished or unfurnished choices so residents can make their space feel a little more like home, and every apartment has closet space, individual climate controls, emergency call systems, telephone hookups, Wi-Fi, and cable or satellite TV if that's something you want, and you'll find common and private dining rooms where three meals are served daily with snacks on hand and options for private dining with family or friends. The grounds have shaded courtyards, patios, gardens for those who enjoy getting their hands in the dirt, and even a hot tub spa, so folks have space to relax or get outside, and it's all managed by on-site staff who handle housekeeping and maintenance while still leaving people with the freedom to join in on games, arts and crafts, music, exercise classes, tech activities, or outings, since there's always something happening from chair fitness to yoga, resident meetings, religious gatherings, and group outings with transportation provided for shopping or appointments.

Pets are welcome here, and so are guests, and there's parking for both residents and visitors, so people don't need to worry when family drops by with the dog in tow, and you can count on a beauty and barber shop, library, laundry, and entertainment areas right in the building. Safety's a big focus, with emergency response systems, strict protocols, trained staff 24 hours a day, and support for mobility or wheelchairs, since the building's designed to be easy for everyone to get around, even if walking is tough. Health care covers a lot of ground, with support for diabetes, dementia, memory care, hospice, respite care, and even in-home care, plus nurses on site and help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, toileting, oral care, medication, meal reminders, and incontinence help, and there are support groups and therapy options too, such as massage, occupational, speech, and pet therapy.

People who need Alzheimer's and dementia care can join the secured memory care program in a protected area with special activities to help with mental engagement, and all services are shaped to the needs of each person after a personalized assessment, so the help's there without pushing folks to lose independence if they don't need to. Staff are trained in all sorts of issues, from chronic illness and mobility to diet, rights, safety, and emotional well-being, so residents can get assistance with everything from financial planning to medical appointments. Residents pay using private pay, Medicaid, insurance, or long-term care insurance, and with scheduled tours, anyone's able to learn more about day-to-day life before deciding. The community's won a Best of Senior Living Award and keeps a focus on wellness, social connection, and support, never losing sight of helping people age in place, keep friendships, and handle changing needs with care and respect.

Brookdale Lexington 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.
