Brookdale Midwestern

Brookdale Midwestern has spacious studio and one-bedroom apartments set on a single floor so residents can get around easily, and these apartments come with wall-to-wall carpet, walk-in closets, private bathrooms with step-in showers, kitchens or kitchenettes, and both telephone and cable hookups. Residents can enjoy their own space furnished or unfurnished, depending on what fits best. There's WiFi and cable or satellite TV in every unit, and an emergency call system that connects to onsite staff any time day or night, which can be helpful for peace of mind, especially since staff are there 24 hours a day and seven days a week. For meals, residents get three a day-breakfast, lunch, and dinner-picked by a registered dietitian, and you can sit with friends in the elegant dining room or even have room service or guest meals if you'd like, as well as cooking for yourself with the kitchenette.

Outdoors, there's a courtyard and garden with sunny areas, colorful chairs, a shade tree, and walking paths if you want some fresh air, plus a sunlit solarium where you can read, visit, or just watch the garden through big windows. For activities, you'll find a recreation room, billiards, arts and crafts, music events, games, and facilitated social outings. Residents can use the library, technology center, and enjoy pet care services, though there are some pet restrictions, but visiting pets are allowed, and sometimes there's even pet therapy. The salon is set up with styling chairs and hair dryers, so it's handy if you want a haircut or other personal care right on site.

People who need help with daily activities like bathing, grooming, dressing, medication, or mobility get this support from trained staff who are always there, and a health nurse is onsite part time. Housekeeping and laundry services are available, and there's scheduled transportation for appointments or recreation outside the facility. For personal or spiritual needs, there are areas for meditation, fellowship, and worship, along with a lineup of wellness programs, fitness options, and even horticultural activities. Security features include a gated facility, 24-hour monitoring at the entrances and exits, and safety technology built in.

Brookdale Midwestern provides different types of care, such as assisted living, memory care for dementia, independent living, skilled nursing, rehab, adult day care, home health, therapy, and even hospice services. There are various floorplans with names like Silverdale Suite, Townsend Suite, and Richmond Suite, each with different layouts including bedrooms, sitting areas, and storage spaces. Community rooms like the residents' lounge, library, screened porch or sunroom, and the recreation room give space for gathering, entertainment, and events. The community's design, with soothing wall colors and easy-to-navigate hallways, helps residents, especially those needing memory care, feel comfortable and safe as they age in place. Brookdale Midwestern is a Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity provider, and the focus is always on supporting each resident's need for help or independence, all in a caring setting that's respectful and steady.

Brookdale Midwestern 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.
