Maintaining identity and a strong sense of self comes from living a life filled with meaning, purpose and contributions. At Brookdale Pointe West, we believe having dementia shouldn t change that. For those with Alzheimer s disease or other types of dementia, our community, located on the sunny Gulf Coast in beautiful Bradenton, Fla., offers a safe environment and exceptional memory care.
We gently steer residents through their day with visual reminders and other familiar routines that meet their skill level, enabling them to experience daily moments of success. And you get the peace of mind knowing that our staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
When you visit Brookdale Pointe West, you ll see our residents engaged in such sports as cornhole or bowling, socializing at parties and other get-togethers, dancing, reminiscing about the old days, playing trivia games and enjoying music. Maybe you ll find them singing karaoke, playing cards, getting coffee with a friend or attending classic movie nights. Exciting day excursions can include visiting our local beaches, restaurants, the Robinson Nature Preserve and the South Florida Museum.
Our elite memory care community provides all the comforts of home so your loved one will feel safe and secure. Our cozy spaces are well designed, comfortable and easy to navigate. Residents can enjoy the warmth in the lush, sunlight-filled atrium, relax by the fire in the family room or select a good book in the library. With monitored entries and exits and an enclosed flower-filled patio and garden, your loved one will remain safe while having a sense of freedom and independence.
While our common areas are designed for socializing, our private apartments offer privacy and a quiet place. Filled with natural light, our apartments, which come in multiple floor plans, are a place for your loved one to be surrounded by the comfort of his or her own familiar furnishings, family photos and treasured keepsakes.
These activities are fun and our residents love them. But each is part of a carefully designed Brookdale care program to encourage our residents and help them live their best life.
Three home-style meals, along with snacks, are served daily in our dining area and include such flavorsome entrees as tilapia with cucumber and melon salsa, roast turkey and beef stroganoff. We keep mealtimes very routine to help alleviate any confusion or added stress. All residents sit together at the same time and same table each day and place settings are designed to enhance and provide ease for each person.
Deeply rooted in a person-centered approach, our Alzheimer s and dementia care is called the Clare Bridge program, where each resident is surrounded by others with the same cognitive abilities, to give them a feeling of fitting in. Clare Bridge 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, yet fun, routine of activities discussions for mental workouts, dancing for physical exercise that help maintain their abilities and encourage the use of their current skills, even with advanced expressions of the disease. The Daily Path is carefully structured to give each resident purpose and a sense of security that they are right where they need to be. And, of course, you ll have peace of mind knowing there is trained staff on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
