The facility, owned and run by Brookdale Senior Living since 1978, offers both apartments and townhomes, and residents can choose among studio, alcove, and one-bedroom apartments, each with big windows for plenty of natural light, options for kitchenettes, and pet-friendly rules, and they throw in basic utilities and maintenance too.

Seniors here have a full calendar of things to do, with daily activities like painting, fitness groups, movies in the theater, library time, field trips, creative projects, happy hours, and even raised garden beds outside for those wanting their hands in the dirt again, and there are clubs, community events, and cultural programs to help everyone stay active and connected. There's guest parking, overnight stays for guests, free Wi-Fi, movie room, game room, meeting room, a beauty salon, fireplaces, TV lounge, outdoor patio gardens, and a nurse on staff part-time, with health services including medication reminders and at-home care options for needs that change over time. Brookdale Walla Walla's assisted living services focus on helping with everything from medication, bathing, dressing, grooming, and moving around to laundry, linen, housekeeping, and transportation for shopping and appointments, and the trained care associates stay on site 24/7, ready for emergencies or anything else that comes up, with an alert system linked throughout the building. Memory care caters to those with dementia or Alzheimer's, with a secure setup to keep things calm and familiar, while independent living, skilled nursing, respite care, and aging-in-place options mean residents can stay as their needs change. Everyone gets a personalized Service Care Plan that's set up by trained staff, making sure the right level of help is there every day, and the facility is licensed for 90 beds.

Beautiful facility, inconsistent care, concerns
I found the facility attractive - bright rooms, calming décor, beautiful grounds and a well-laid-out garden. The staff were genuinely caring, patient and helpful, but clearly short-staffed with high turnover and uneven training, which made care inconsistent. Dining was hit-or-miss: some appealing meals and an ice cream area, but small portions, limited options, poor meals at times, and gluten-free needs weren't reliably met. Activities are creative and improving, yet dementia residents often lacked consistent daily stimulation and some programs were canceled. Communication and management felt unreliable - vague billing, little response from leadership, and no on-site transportation. I also noted safety and accessibility concerns (open staircases, square corners, non-automatic doors) and occasional housekeeping lapses. Overall, a lovely setting with dedicated staff, but uneven care, safety/access issues, and high cost gave me serious reservations for long-term placement.

About Brookdale Walla Walla
About Brookdale
Brookdale Walla Walla 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.
