Brookdale Carmel

Small Moments, Big Purpose

Whether it’s flooring choices or how we approach behavioral expressions, our Clare Bridge program uses an evidence-based approach to continue to evolve and build our state-of-the-art care for you and your family. We focus on building relationships with you and your loved one based on trust, loving concern and a strong sense of family.

The Clare Bridge Daily Path is an evidence-based approach that offers a gentle daily structure of six planned programs per day, our routine that helps our residents maintain their abilities, encourage the use of their current skills, and offer a sense of security and accomplishment. Working in small cluster groups, each resident is surrounded by others with the same cognitive abilities, to give them a feeling of fitting in.

Art classes, book club and karaoke are just a few of activities included on the Daily Path. Our residents also enjoy devotional services, trivia, yoga and fun social events, like our mix and mingle socials, too. If your loved one loves to garden, we have gardening time. And our residents love spa day with manicures and gardening.

Studies show close relationships play an integral role in aging well. That’s why we help our residents stay connected with innovative technology. InTouch at Brookdale brings the outside world in with an intuitively designed touch-screen computer. With easy-to-use, picture-screen prompts, our residents with physical or cognitive limitations can launch a virtual world of discovery.

Home Safe Home

Surrounded by your favorite things and people who love you—that’s home. Our apartments have plenty of natural window light and some even have a garden view. And you and your family will have several floor plans to choose from. We’ll help you make your loved one’s apartment familiar and comfortable with a move-in guide and a suggested list of what to bring. And our community has an open neighborhood concept, each of which features a kitchenette, common living space and apartment suites that surround the common area of each neighborhood.

We use mealtime as an opportunity to offer healthy menu choices and create a sense of belonging. Here our residents enjoy dementia-friendly menus with familiar and easy-to-manage selections, small dining rooms with consistent pre-selected seating and personal dining assistance.
