Brookdale Germantown

Brookdale Germantown sits next door to Methodist LeBonheur Germantown Hospital, so if folks ever need a doctor quickly, there's one nearby, and the facility itself has about 50 apartments, which helps give everything a small, homelike feel where people know each other and can settle in. Residents can choose from Alcove, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom floor plans, and each apartment has either a full kitchen or a kitchenette, plus private patios or balconies for a bit of fresh air. There are private and shared suites with plush carpeting, climate controls in the room, and bathrooms with showers that have safety bars and non-slip floors. The place has an emergency call system in every home, plus cable or satellite TV, WiFi, and parking lot access for those who have cars.

People living here can select from independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, or even continuing care retirement options-with care plans updated to cover as much help as each person needs, like bathing, dressing, medication support, mobility, and managing other daily things, all with staff on duty at all hours for emergencies and nurses around part-time. If needed, there's access to physical therapy, rehabilitation, and an on-site pharmacy, and the community is designed to help people with memory issues thanks to special programs that reduce confusion and prevent wandering.

Folks can get three meals each day in a dining room that looks over an inside courtyard and gardens, and snacks are always available, plus there are programs for weight management and nutrition tracking. There's a garden outside, a courtyard, and even a beauty and barber shop where people can get a haircut or visit with a neighbor, and for staying active, there's a fitness room, equipment, wellness programs, and a game room, as well as a library stocked with regular and large-print books. Events, activities, music, art, outings, and other social programs keep things lively, while pet-friendly policies make it easy for animal lovers to keep their companions close.

Housekeeping and laundry services help keep apartments tidy, and transportation is available for running errands or getting to appointments if needed. There are on-site aides who help people with non-medical needs at home, too. The whole place is month-to-month rental, so folks aren't tied down by long contracts. Overall, Brookdale Germantown aims to give seniors the choice to live as independently as possible, while offering help and a bit of company when it's wanted, all in a relaxed place that feels more neighborly than big or flashy.

Brookdale Germantown is managed by Brookdale.

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.
