Life at an Independent Living Community
Themed parties, chef-inspired cuisine, laundry service and leisurely strolls through the gardens. Sounds like a five-star resort, right? Think again. These are just a few of the many amenities you can enjoy at our independent living communities.
A lot of people misunderstand independent living communities. They think it’s a place to go when you’re slowing down. But in reality, independent living communities open up the door for so many possibilities.
With pet-friendly environments, quality dining, transportation services and an ever-changing calendar of activities, events and excursions, our independent living communities might just be the start of your next great adventure.

Your spiritual experience matters to us. That is why we created The Ageless Spirit, an award-winning program designed to express simple but powerful practices like kindness, gratitude, joy, appreciating nature, connectedness, and celebrating aging.

My Life Story
Your unique story has made you who you are today. Through our storytelling program, My Life Story, you can share your unique perspective and valuable wisdom, all while learning about others’ life stories and building friendships.
Before coming to Brookdale, I had never lived in a community setting and was unsure how difficult it would be to adapt. It was an easy adjustment! Today, I enjoy being on the team assisting new residents in making their transition to life at Brookdale."
