Being a part of a memory care community should mean enjoying new and old passions. It should mean engaging in creative pursuits and enjoying social circles. That s what we offer at Brookdale Santa Barbara. Our residents receive special care for seniors with Alzheimer s and other forms of dementia. From our carefully designed building to a nurturing and highly trained staff, specialized programming and management, we focus on helping seniors live life well in a safe, secure environment.
Brookdale was a pioneer in the development of memory care over 25 years ago, and we haven t stopped perfecting it. Our small community offers a comfortable, home-like setting, which is ideal for individuals with memory loss. We believe that no matter where an individual is in their life, they have the right to live in a dignified manner and enjoy meaningful experiences every day. Our highly trained associates enable each resident to experience daily moments of success.
Seniors living with early to late-stage Alzheimer s, dementia or other cognitive challenges need some pretty specific things, like predictability and stability in their schedule. But that doesn t mean they should be sitting around doing nothing. At Brookdale, our memory care residents are paired with others with similar abilities so that they can maintain the sense of fitting in. Then, they re given at least six dementia-friendly activities each day to keep them engaged and active.
Because we only do one thing, we get to do it really well. Our memory care community is built from the ground up for the specific needs of our seniors. That means we have features like color coding, dementia-friendly housing and community area layouts, and even dementia-friendly menus at our dining facility. Together with our specially trained staff, that means you or your loved one will be gently steered throughout your day in a way that gives the most chance to thrive.
We re built for safety first, with features like emergency response in every room, or staff available to respond to emergency health needs 24/7. But our residents have a huge range of amenities to help enjoy their time here, like our on-site game room, beauty parlor and fireside living room. It s all about providing the perfect backdrop for each resident s perfect life.
This memory care program is called Clare Bridge, and we think it s the best way to give our residents their own best life. And often, the results are remarkable, providing a great quality of life for great seniors.
But we never sacrifice comfort, as each of our living quarters and community areas are carefully designed to maximize that home sweet home feeling.
Because we only do one thing here, we do it extremely well. Our Clare Bridge program addresses the specific, individual needs of each of our residents through a series of research-based approaches. We take a whole-person approach to memory care, providing outlets for creative and entertainment interests, while developing a maximum chance for social connection. And we do it all with an intense dedication to each individual s sense of self and independence, elevating dignity and self-worth while providing exactly the care that each resident needs, exactly when they need it.
