Brookdale Richland Hills

Brookdale Richland Hills is a one-story senior living community that welcomes both independent seniors and those who need a bit more help with daily tasks, and the staff, who are fully trained and kind, are always available to give a hand with things like bathing, dressing, medication, or just getting around, and they try to answer call lights quickly, so residents feel safe and cared for all day and night. The building makes life easier because it's on one level and has wide hallways, wheelchair accessible showers, and open living spaces like lounges, living rooms, and inviting dining rooms where residents can enjoy nutritious meals; the chef and kitchen staff focus on creating meals with quality ingredients, and the dining rooms are bright, roomy, and set up to make meal times pleasant, plus they allow guest meals and flexible menu options to suit different dietary needs, including diabetic and low-salt meals.

Outdoor areas are a big part of life here, and residents like sitting on the front porch, relaxing in the fenced courtyards, or taking walks on winding paths through community gardens with raised beds and plenty of places to rest, and people who enjoy being outside can garden, enjoy the lawns, or walk companion animals because pets are welcome, and staff can help with outdoor activities if needed. Rooms are comfortable and sized for both privacy and ease, ranging from 288-360 square feet, and each one is unfurnished, so residents can bring their own things, plus rooms have closets, phones, and their own climate controls, with regular cleaning, linen changes, and laundry provided by the housekeeping team, who also take care of trash and maintenance.

Residents can choose from a big range of activities each day, including arts and crafts, educational classes, music, exercise like yoga, brain fitness, coffee chats, fitness challenges, seasonal celebrations, outings, and spiritual activities; there's a library with large-print and audio books for reading, and a full-service salon/barber shop for hair and nails. The community pays special attention to those with memory issues, offering secure memory care services designed to reduce confusion and prevent wandering with special outdoor courtyards, cozy social spaces, and staff trained to work with dementia, so residents with Alzheimer's or similar conditions can enjoy life safely.

Brookdale HealthPlus® services mean there's registered nurse oversight on site, support for chronic conditions like diabetes and heart problems, annual wellness checks, health screenings, immunizations, and someone to help coordinate care after hospital stays. Help is available for medication management, managing appointments, dining assistance, cueing and reminders, and personal care tasks, with services built around each resident's own needs, and respite care is offered for short-term stays or when caregivers need a break.

Friendly staff are known for being patient and joyful with residents and visitors, and there's a focus on building a sense of community through shared meals, casual get-togethers, special events, and devotional services. Safety is considered in building features like controlled access, fire systems, alarmed doors, and a 24-hour emergency response system, and all units and spaces meet handicap accessibility requirements, including wheelchair friendly designs.

Transportation services help residents get to shops, appointments, or group outings, with both complimentary and paid options, and there's on-site parking for residents who still drive. Amenities also include Wi-Fi, communal kitchens, entertainment spaces, post boxes, and common area televisions, so seniors have access to conveniences. Elder law, financial planning, notary services, and access to off-site religious services are available as well.

In all, Brookdale Richland Hills gives seniors choices for independent living, assisted living, and specialized memory care, offers continuing care with skilled nursing, and works to provide a safe, down-to-earth place for those who want a little help, want to stay engaged, or simply want peace of mind as they age.

Brookdale Richland Hills 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.
