Brookdale Meadow Springs

Brookdale Meadow Springs sits in a quiet spot with nice walking paths, a landscaped courtyard, and garden beds for residents who like to spend time outdoors. Folks there find a range of care, from independent living to assisted living, memory care, respite stays, skilled nursing, and even help for those at home who need a hand. The staff stays awake around the clock for emergencies, and nurses are onsite twelve to sixteen hours most days to offer care and answer questions. Apartments include studios and one-bedrooms, with options for kitchenettes, walk-in closets, private bathrooms, and you can pick a furnished or unfurnished place, so there's something for different tastes and needs, and pets are welcome too which folks seem to like.

Meals get served restaurant-style with choices each day, including vegetarian, low-sodium, and low-sugar diets for those who need them. Laundry, dry-cleaning, and housekeeping lighten the daily chores. For enjoyment, there's plenty going on-bingo, movies, exercise classes, church services, regular field trips, and creative arts and crafts in the studio, plus raised garden beds for those who enjoy getting their hands in the dirt. Indoors, residents find a TV lounge, a fireside living room, a library, a piano or organ, a chapel with both Catholic and Protestant services, and big open spaces like a movie theater and a game room where neighbors gather and chat. There are also common kitchens where folks can cook together. Staff help organize events and outings, trying to keep everyone active and social, whether through structured programs for forming friendships, devotional gatherings, or fitness classes.

Out in the courtyard and along the landscaped paths, benches invite residents to sit and visit, and for those who smoke, there's a designated outdoor spot. The place has gadgets and systems that help prevent wandering, especially in their memory care community for folks with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, like technology that uses bracelets to set off an alarm if someone goes off course, and the staff handles behavioral issues and mobility transfers, including bed-to-wheelchair help for those who need it.

The building has elevators for easy access, wheelchair showers, and full tubs for bathing. There's parking for residents and visitors, some complimentary transportation, and other options for a fee. Free Wi-Fi goes throughout the property and covers both visitors and residents which makes it easier to stay in touch. While meals, health, and daily support matter here, Brookdale Meadow Springs keeps an emphasis on regular activities, pets, friendship, and helping folks live as independently as they wish for as long as possible, including hospice support when needed. The community tries to support families too, whether someone's looking for a short respite stay or help with a longer journey of aging. Staff work to be friendly, helpful, and present for whatever comes up, aiming to make daily life smooth and comfortable for each resident.

Brookdale Meadow Springs 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.
