This community takes pride in embracing a person-centered approach, recognizing that each resident’s journey is unique and requires individualized interventions and support. The caring team at Brookdale Union Hills seeks to create an environment where residents are surrounded by love, encouragement, and purposeful activities that foster a sense of belonging and joy.

Central to the philosophy at Brookdale Union Hills is the belief that care should be tailored to the individual. Unlike a one-size-fits-all model, the programs here are adapted to the distinct needs and preferences of each resident. The Clare Bridge program, an exclusive brand of dementia care developed more than 30 years ago, addresses the needs of those in the mid to late stages of dementia. For residents in the more advanced stages, the Clare Bridge Solace program offers specialized support that honors each person’s remaining abilities and enhances quality of life. Consistency is key, and the community aims to provide regular care assignments to support residents in a familiar and reassuring environment. The care staff at Brookdale Union Hills has undergone recognized dementia care training that incorporates evidence-based practices in person-centered care, assessment and care planning, activities of daily living, and effective communication.
Residents of Brookdale Union Hills are afforded an array of services and amenities to make life easier and more enjoyable. The community offers private apartments as well as the option of semi-private rooms at a lower cost. Essential daily needs are met with dining and housekeeping included, allowing residents to focus on meaningful engagement and personal interests. The Personal Solutions program further streamlines daily living by enabling residents and their families to order necessary items—such as hygiene products, soap, toothpaste, hearing aid batteries, and more. These items are delivered directly to the resident’s door in discreet packaging to ensure privacy, and ordering is a simple process with charges billed directly to the resident’s monthly statement.
The community environment is purposefully designed to support those living with cognitive challenges. Specially trained associates understand the unique dynamics of memory loss and are equipped to deliver compassionate guidance, whether through structured programs in the Activity Room, shared meals in the Dining Room, shared enjoyment in the Courtyard, or quiet moments in personal living spaces. Brookdale Union Hills stands as a testament to dedicated, individualized memory care that seeks not just to meet basic needs, but also to instill a sense of dignity, fulfillment, and joy in every resident’s day.
