Brookdale Vancouver Stonebridge sits in Vancouver, Washington, close to the Vancouver Mall, and serves as a continuing care retirement community, or CCRC, which means residents can get independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even at-home care right on the same campus, so there's no need to move when care needs change. The community was built to meet the needs of people with memory loss from conditions like Alzheimer's or dementia, and it offers specialized programs such as Clare Bridge for middle to late stages and Solace for advanced dementia, with a person-centered approach and attention from staff who build steady relationships with the residents, helping them feel at home and keeping their sense of purpose. The layout is all single-story and the Memory Care section is designed with safety in mind, with locked doors and a secure courtyard where people can walk outside on paved paths, sit in outdoor chairs under a covered patio, or enjoy gardens, lawns, a grill, and colorful decorations. Each building has space for 40 residents, and the community as a whole has 80 licensed beds, with dementia-friendly menus in restaurant-style or home-style dining and personal help at meals for anyone who needs it.
The entire place tries to be comfortable, with Memory Care suites set up with cozy beds and armchairs, and big windows that let plenty of sunlight in, cheerful staff who know people by name and greet them each day, and living spaces that feel like being at home, with plush armchairs and a TV in common areas so people have a spot to relax or visit with friends. There's help for daily activities like taking medicine, bathing, dressing, grooming, and walking around, all based on a Service Care Plan that matches what each person needs, plus a two-year Medicaid spend down option for residents who run out of private funds. Meals have a reputation for being quite good, and long-term staff bring familiarity and stability to the place. There's a 24-hour team on site to respond to any emergencies, routines are well-structured, and there's a system to quietly alert staff if someone is in trouble.
Residents can join in on games, arts and crafts, field trips, entertainment, holiday events, or be part of clubs and activities that help them feel connected. The grounds are pet friendly, and families find that the garden, emergency safety features, and beauty salon with hairdressing services all add to the sense of everyday comfort. Payment can be made by check, credit card, or Medicaid. Brookdale Vancouver Stonebridge's overall goal is to give people a safe, friendly spot where they can stay active, connect with others, and get the type of help that fits what's happening in their lives as they age, whether they want independence or need more medical support. This community is part of Brookdale, which has offered retirement living since 1978, and the design, amenities, and programs all aim to suit people in any stage of aging or cognitive change, so residents have a steady place through whatever life brings.
