Brookdale Burlington Memory Care

Brookdale Burlington, located in a quiet Burlington, N.C., residential neighborhood, offers customized programs and loving care to seniors living with cognitive challenges, including dementia and Alzheimer s. Our specially trained staff helps our residents maintain their independence and dignity for as long as possible by gently steering them through their day with visual reminders and other familiar routines that meet their skill level and provide a sense of purpose.

With individual apartments that respect our residents privacy, activities that maintain or help their cognitive and physical skills and a nutrition program that keeps them healthy, Brookdale Burlington is designed to help your loved one flourish. So while our residents get the safety, security and home-like setting they need, you get the peace of mind you need, knowing that our staff is there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Engaging and meaningful activities help our memory care residents maintain their abilities and encourage use of their current skills. Entertaining memory games, pet therapy, crafts, gardening, exercise and musical activities help strengthen their creative and life skills while gently helping to stimulate memory and feel a sense of satisfaction.

Our community was built specifically for residents who need added care and attention, so at Brookdale Burlington, safety comes first. With a 24-hour security system and enclosed walking areas, our residents living with dementia or other cognitive challenges can safely explore their surroundings.

We believe one should never stop learning or socializing, which is why our Brookdale Celebrates program is so important. Brookdale Celebrates spotlights different cultures and cuisines and then builds special events and group activities around it. So not only do they learn something new about a different culture, but residents connect with friends and family during these special, highly anticipated events.

Memory care residents thrive in an environment that feels comfortable and familiar, so our community features peaceful surroundings and a cozy setting to re-create the kind of home life they ve always enjoyed. Private apartments contain our residents own furnishings, mementos and photos so they re surrounded with familiar, much-loved items.

Our Alzheimer s and dementia care program, called 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 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.

People living with dementia face a greater risk of poor nutrition and weight loss, so we use mealtime as an opportunity to offer healthy menu choices and encourage our seniors to eat their freshly prepared meals as independently as possible.

Along with such careful care is the peace of mind for our residents and their families of knowing that we have trained staff on hand 24/7. As a pioneer in memory care, Brookdale Burlington provides an exceptional quality of life for exceptional seniors without sacrificing safety and security.
