Our Community

Just like family, we provide the extra assistance seniors may need with daily activities, while always placing a focus on helping residents maintain privacy, dignity and independence.

Centrally located in the East Dallas area, Brookdale Lake Highlands is only five minutes from other great communities such as Garland, Mesquite, Plano, Preston Hollow, and Richardson. We are just minutes from shopping malls, restaurants, and entertainment venues that provide opportunities for residents to enjoy time with family and friends.

A Wonderful Selection

We understand that every senior has a unique journey. We work to get to know every resident in both our assisted living and memory care communities to ensure they have the care they need to live a healthy, happy life.

Our campus includes the following accommodations and levels of care:

• Assisted Living accommodations for those who may need some extra help with daily living activities. We balance assistance with independence, providing just the right amount care needed.
• For those who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, our memory care community provides specialized care from a staff that is continuously trained in handling the unique needs of seniors with memory-related issues. Residents with Alzheimer’s or related memory challenges reside in a supportive environment with familiar surroundings. By helping seniors achieve daily moments of achievement, residents find new meaning and purpose in their daily lives.

With its family-friendly atmosphere, Brookdale Lake Highlands feels like home the moment you walk through the doors. Brookdale Lake Highlands offers a home-like atmosphere with senior apartments on one floor for easy access.

We have several floor plans of our private and deluxe suites, and studio senior living apartments, with each featuring a 24-emergency response system, private baths, and some have kitchenettes. Our community is designed to be easily navigated by individuals using wheelchairs and other assistive devices.

Our community is surrounded by a beautiful landscaped ground, and our residents enjoy relaxing and visiting in our enclosed courtyard. We also offer walking paths and outdoor gardening areas that have raised beds for added comfort.

Our common areas — including our lovely dining room, TV room, and library and activities center — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. For additional convenience we have an on-site beauty and barber shop, and washers and dryers available for personal use.

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.

Our experienced teams have cared for thousands of individuals with dementia and their families.

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.”
