Brookdale Monterey is a senior living community dedicated to providing specialized care for seniors living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. The community’s approach is built around person-centered care, focusing on the unique needs and preferences of each resident and their families. Purposeful design elements throughout Brookdale Monterey reflect an understanding of the challenges that come with cognitive decline, and the environment is carefully crafted to support individuals living with dementia in maintaining their quality of life. The staff is carefully selected and trained in dementia care, ensuring compassionate support and consistent care assignments whenever possible to foster trust and a sense of family among residents.
The memory care offerings at Brookdale Monterey are anchored in exclusive programs such as Clare Bridge, which was created over three decades ago and is tailored specifically for those in the mid to late stages of dementia. For residents who require more advanced care, the Clare Bridge Solace program focuses on meeting the unique needs of individuals in the later stages of dementia, offering additional layers of comfort and engagement. Activities and engagement opportunities are designed not just to occupy time but to bring purpose and enjoyment to residents’ daily lives.
Brookdale Monterey strives to make daily living as seamless and comfortable as possible, including amenities like personal solutions. This program simplifies day-to-day needs by allowing residents or their families to order essential personal items—from toothpaste and mouthwash to hearing aid batteries and hygiene products—which are then discreetly delivered directly to the resident’s door. Orders can be set up for recurring monthly delivery or placed as needed, with all items arriving in plain packaging to respect privacy.
Dining and housekeeping services are included to relieve residents of everyday chores, allowing them to spend more time with loved ones or participate in community activities. Residents have the choice of private apartments, which can be personalized to suit individual taste and requirements, and semi-private rooms are available for those seeking a lower monthly cost. The physical environment features welcoming spaces such as a library, TV room, sitting room, sunroom, dining room, salon, apartment bedrooms, gazebo, and patio, all designed to provide comfort, safety, and opportunities for relaxation or socialization.
Brookdale Monterey is committed to building strong relationships between staff, residents, and families through trust, loving concern, and a commitment to person-centered partnerships. The community supports well-being not only through care but also by extending an atmosphere of warmth and respect in everything they do. From nurturing staff to carefully planned memory care programs and practical everyday solutions, Brookdale Monterey aims to offer residents a dignified, engaging lifestyle no matter where they are on their dementia journey.
