Brookdale Desert Ridge

Our Community

Located on Bluefield Avenue between 40th and 41st, we enjoy easy access to Highways 51 and 101 and are conveniently close to restaurants, doctor’s offices, churches, coffee houses, banks, drug stores, a post office, Paradise Valley Mall, Kierland Commons Shopping Center, and Paradise Valley Park. We also enjoy the security of having the Mayo Clinic Hospital nearby.

We Balance Independence With Assistance

Your senior doesn’t have to choose between the two options of independence or assistance. Unlike a nursing home, Brookdale Desert Ridge is a community of apartment homes where they can have both — the independence of a private home, plus whatever type of supportive aid they need to perform daily tasks and maintain health.

A Family of Friends

If you remember your bygone days in a college dormitory or at summer camp, you recall the fun of living with people your own age who shared your interests and life experiences. You sat together in the cafeteria or living room, where you could play card games, board games, tell stories, share secrets and talk for hours. At Brookdale Desert Ridge, we recreate that fun communal experience of living with a family of friends.

The Senior Living Leader

Our community is owned and operated by Brookdale, the nation’s largest provider of senior living solutions. We are the number one leader in retirement hospitality and care because our associates connect with our residents, “adopt” them as our grandparents, and enrich their lives every day.

Levels of Care

At Brookdale Desert Ridge, our assisted living services provide the senior in your life the freedom and comfort of living independently, plus peace of mind from having help close at hand. Your loved one spent decades taking care of others. Now, it’s their turn to be pampered.

Assisted Living

We learn resident personalities before a resident moves into their Brookdale home, and our staff meets with their family to learn about their loved one’s life history, daily routines, and particular likes and dislikes.

We Tailor Individualized Plans
Based on each resident’s needs and preferences, we design a Personalized Service Plan that can include the following services:

• Help With Daily Personal Tasks — Our staff can assist your loved one with showering, hygiene, clothing selection, dressing, and grooming.
• Incontinence Management
• Mobility and Escort Service
• Dining Assistance
• Nurse on Call
• Medication Management
• Diabetes Management
• Wound Care
• Home Healthcare Agency Services
• Visiting Podiatrist and Physical, Speech, and Occupational Therapists

Short-Term Stays

When vacancies are available, we offer short-term respite stays for assisted living guests so that family caregivers like you can enjoy a much-needed rest, or leave town for a business trip or vacation while your loved one receives pampered care.

Memory Care

We understand your concerns for your loved one’s safety and well-being, and we understand the weight of the responsibility of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia. Let us help you and your loved one with our compassionate, specialized care.

Brookdale offers programs and safe environments for those with Alzheimer’s disease or other types of dementia. We believe no matter where an individual is on life’s journey, each has the right to live in a dignified manner and to enjoy meaningful experiences every day.

Deeply rooted in a person-centered approach, our Alzheimer’s and dementia care program, also called the Clare Bridge program, focuses on sustaining feelings of belonging, purpose and safety while seeking to preserve a sense of self.

The Clare Bridge Daily Path provides residents with a structured routine of activities that help maintain their abilities and encourage the use of their current skills. The Daily Path includes programs such as discussion groups as a mental workout and daily physical exercise such as dancing. The Daily Path gives each resident purpose and a sense of security that they are right where they need to be.

Designed by a team of culinary associates, experts in memory care and registered dieticians, our unique dining program promotes a positive and successful dining experience with the following features:

• Dementia-friendly menus with selections that are easy to manage
• Individualized dining assistance
• The supportive dining environment encourages familiarity and socialization

Through our unique memory care programs, we offer comfort from the struggles of dementia for you and your loved one with customized care to meet your loved one’s specific needs. Our skilled associates provide compassionate and attentive dementia care, and enable residents to experience daily moments of success.
