Brookdale Fort Walton Beach

Brookdale Fort Walton Beach, which provides both assisted living and Alzheimer s and dementia care, offers the sense of community you ve been seeking. Create your cozy sanctuary in our spacious, private or companion apartments and engage with friends and neighbors in our charming, home-like common areas. We re located in a residential area just minutes from shopping, restaurants and area attractions. Stay busy as much or as little as you like with our full calendar of activities, classes and outings.

As an assisted living resident, you can fill in your social calendar and focus on fun, and we ll provide just the right amount of personal assistance and care to make your life easier. Should your needs change over time, and you require memory care, you have the security of knowing you can remain here, in your home, without leaving familiar surroundings. And there s always the security of knowing that our staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Rekindle a hobby long left by the wayside or start a new one. Start that fitness regimen you ve been planning. Learn a new skill. Our packed activities calendar includes birdwatching in the courtyard, daily exercise classes, games, crafts, sing-alongs, Bible studies, live entertainment, Walking Club, cooking classes and ice cream socials. We also take excursions to local shops, restaurants and attractions that might include Santa Rosa Mall, the Heritage Park and Cultural Center and the Air Force Armament Museum. We re just five miles from the beautiful beaches on Okaloosa Island, making it an easy trip for the afternoon.

You ll find plenty of comfortable common space to spend time with friends and family, whether it s in the spacious, home-like fireside family room, well-stocked library, cozy sunroom or outdoor areas. Large windows give tremendous natural light throughout the community, giving in an open, airy feel. With easy-to-navigate floor plans and soothing wall colors, memory care residents feel safe and not overwhelmed. And with monitored entries and exits and an enclosed courtyard, they remain safe while having complete freedom of movement.

Your first choice is to decide which apartment either the private studio or two-bedroom companion suite best suits your needs. Each apartment has a private bath as well as large windows that let in ample natural light. You ll fill your apartment with your own furnishings, photos and treasured keepsakes to decorate it in your own unmistakably unique style. Do you have a small pet? Bring it with you. We re very pet-friendly!

Our memory care residents enjoy walking, socializing at get-togethers, dancing, reminiscing about the old days, exercising, live music, ice cream socials and competing in board games. Maybe you ll find them playing cards, singing karaoke, arranging flowers or watching travelogues. Each of these activities is part of a carefully designed care program to help them flourish and use meaningful life skills and talents even when their dementia is advanced.

Our fine dining experience is prepared by a chef who serves three nutritious restaurant-style meals and several snacks each day. You ll dine on such tasty dishes as Cajun jambalaya, roast pork loin and baked haddock. To avoid any confusion or added stress, we keep mealtimes very routine for our memory care community.

Our assisted living lifestyle provides all the independence you want and a helping hand when you need it. We can get you started, perhaps in bathing, dressing or managing medications. Then we step out of the way of your daily living.

If a resident ever should need a deeper level of assistance, it s an easy transition into our memory care program, called the Clare Bridge Alzheimer's and Dementia Program, which is deeply rooted in a person-centered approach by creating feelings of belonging and purpose for your loved one. With gentle guidance and visual reminders, we provide a secure, safe place that meets them where they are and allows them to flourish even when dementia is advanced. Your loved one will benefit from our care and you ll have peace of mind knowing there is trained staff on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
