Levels of Care
We know that there are tons of options when it comes to senior living. Wading through them all can be difficult, but we’d love to help. Here are some details about the two levels of care that we offer — assisted living and Alzheimer’s and dementia care.
Assisted Living
Our brand of assisted living combines rewarding lifestyles and comfortable accommodations with an exceptional blend of service, care and hospitality. With an impressive line of features and amenities, assisted living residents enjoy life with all the support they may require.
Carefully selected and trained associates do more than assist with activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing and dispensing of medications — they implement custom care plans designed to meet the individual needs of each resident.
It all begins with a Personal Service Assessment. We take the time to listen to our residents so we can establish clinical, dining and program support that works for them in a meaningful way.
No two seniors are alike, which is why Brookdale assisted living recognizes our residents’ individual needs and preferences and respond accordingly. So, whether it’s a scented lotion, a unique snack, a favorite recipe or a lifelong interest, we integrate everything we learn to create a truly individualized living experience.
We also provide the kind of help that allows our residents to live life to the fullest. So lawn work, trash hauling and laundry are all out. Group activities, hobby-related communities and off-site cultural experiences are all in!
Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care
For those of our community that need more structure in their lives, we use the Clare Bridge concept, which provides care programs and secure environments for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia.
At Brookdale Centre of New England we believe no matter where an individual is in life’s journey, each has the right to live in a dignified manner and to enjoy meaningful experiences every day. Highly trained associates deliver on this promise as they provide dementia care services and enable residents to experience daily moments of success.
Deeply rooted in a person-centered approach, the Clare Bridge program focuses on sustaining feelings of belonging and purpose while seeking to preserve a sense of self. The Clare Bridge concept has evolved over a quarter of a century by continually embracing the latest research and innovations in the delivery of quality dementia care. Our teams have cared for thousands of individuals with dementia, as well as for their families.
The Clare Bridge Daily Path offers a gentle daily structure (seven days per week) choreographed with a minimum of six programs per day. All are designed to maintain the resident’s abilities and to encourage the use of their current skills. The Daily Path gives each resident a sense of security that they are “right where they need to be.” Daily Path activities include the following:
- Morning Mental Workout with discussions, brain-stimulating games and reminiscing
- Daily Physical Activity with exercise opportunities including “Movement is Medicine” group exercises, walking programs and dancing
- Daily Life Skills provide a sense of purpose, meaning and belonging individually or as group activities.
- Person-Centered Programming includes activities designed to use the resident’s “Guide to the Daily Path” social history as a foundation, by honoring past interests and involvements, programs tap into current skills and support successful experiences
- Distribution of “We’re Keeping Our Promise” personal notes, sent periodically to family members.
