Brookdale Columbia

Brookdale Columbia sits in a single-story building, easy to move around for people with limited mobility, and you'll find they offer a wide mix of care from independent living to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even at-home care, which means you can stay in the same community as your needs change over time. The staff help out day and night, every day of the week, watching out for everyone's safety and helping with things like bathing, getting dressed, cooking, household chores, and managing medicines, and a call system makes it easy to get help in case of emergency. People can pick from different apartment layouts like the Silverdale, Townsend, Richmond, and Ashton, all with their own setups, and the place is pet-friendly, clean, and set up for comfort, with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and pleasant indoor and outdoor common areas, including game and TV rooms, cozy spots with a fireplace and bookshelves, and a porch and courtyard with walking paths and green grounds. Meals come restaurant-style, and you can ask for kosher or vegetarian dishes, and if you like, there's a whirlpool, a barber and beauty shop, a residents' lounge, and onsite devotional services, with offsite options for worship too, so everyone's beliefs get some attention. Every day brings a full slate of activities, both social and educational, with events, signature programs, and gatherings inside or out, so people have lots of chances to stay active and connect with one another, whether through games, walks, counseling, or worship. For those who need it, there's respite care for short stays or hospice if things progress, and the memory care unit is set up to support folks living with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, while the whole place is designed to keep people as independent as possible for as long as they can, adjusting care promptly when anything changes. Resident parking's available, and rides are offered both for a fee or free of charge, to help get to appointments or outings, and showers and walkways are wheelchair accessible, so you don't have to worry about getting around. Health and safety are a focus here, with round-the-clock staff, counseling, emergency alert systems, and help with medical needs, and you can use long-term care insurance or veterans' benefits if you qualify. The overall idea is to give seniors a friendly atmosphere, keep them feeling active and supported, help them live well at every stage, and offer familiar faces and surroundings even if care levels increase or needs get more complicated.

Brookdale Columbia 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.
