Brookdale Nine Mile

Brookdale Nine Mile sits near Nine Mile Falls and the Spokane River in a quiet neighborhood, and the building is a single-story, so residents don't have to worry about stairs or elevators, and people with mobility concerns can get around easily. The community has 60 licensed WHCA beds and provides assisted living, independent living, skilled nursing, and specialized memory care for adults with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, including the Clare Bridge program, and offers different help depending on what each person needs, whether they prefer to live independently, with a little help, or need more support because of memory conditions. There are living spaces ranging from studios to shared or private suites-many have kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air conditioning, and cable, and all are set up so residents can decorate with their own furniture, making it feel homelike.

Brookdale Nine Mile lets residents bring pets and has raised garden beds, an enclosed courtyard, and winding walking paths for strolling so people and their animals can enjoy the grounds together. The building and all common areas are non-smoking, with pet policies in place, and family members can visit without worrying about secondhand smoke. There's resident parking available for those with cars, and transportation is arranged for doctor visits, errands, or trips out. For wellness, residents can use a therapy room, fitness area, and beauty or barber shop, plus a library and an ice cream parlor, and everyone can take part in on-site and off-site activities, group events, devotional services, and social, educational, and entertainment programs meant to keep people both active and connected.

Memory care at Brookdale Nine Mile includes secure spaces to reduce wandering, special activities to keep minds active, and structured support designed so memory care residents have safety but also chances to make friends and enjoy life, and hospice and respite stay options give temporary or end-of-life support when needed. Staff members are trained and on site around the clock, with an alert system for emergencies and doctors, nurses, and therapists-such as podiatrists or dentists-either on staff or on call, and the care team helps residents with medication, dressing, bathing, diabetic care, and other activities of daily living. Meals are served every day with attention to dietary needs and good nutrition. The facility works with Shear Desire and Clare Bridge providers and maintains care plans that change as residents need more or less help, trying to help each person feel independent but also secure and supported, offering services like move-in coordination, housekeeping, and meal prep while promoting wellness and social connection. Only older adults who meet the minimum age requirement can live here, and people can choose suites with different privacy arrangements, including female-only options. No matter what stage of aging or health someone is at, there are ways to fit in at Brookdale Nine Mile, where the focus stays on living as well as possible.

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.
