Brookdale Oklahoma City Southwest

If you need memory care and support, Brookdale Oklahoma City Southwest can help. Our Alzheimer s & Dementia Care community, also known as Clare Bridge, is rooted in a person-centered approach . It means we help our residents find a sense of belonging and purpose while also helping them preserve who they are.

Where state-of-the-art care meets a passion for painting, residents stay engaged with a gentle daily structure of planned activities to help them maintain their abilities and encourage the use of their current skills. Playing brain games, dancing, and music programs are just a few of the ways our residents spend their days.

The Clare Bridge Daily Path is an evidence-based approach that offers a gentle daily structure of six planned programs per day, which maintain our residents' abilities and encourage the use of their current skills. These include a morning cognitive workout with discussions, brain games and physical fitness opportunities like our B-Fit program, walking programs, and dancing. But routine doesn t have to mean boring. Our residents have a lot of choices. Bowling, string art, swing dancing and chair yoga are just a few of activities included on the Daily Path.

Surrounded by your favorite things and people who love you that s home. Our apartments have lots of window light and we have two floorplan options. We help our families make our residents apartments familiar and comfortable with a move-in guide and a suggested list of what to bring.

People living with dementia are at a greater risk for poor nutrition and weight loss. That s why we use mealtime as an opportunity to offer healthy menu choices and create a sense of belonging.

Our Clare Bridge environments feature areas of the community that are set up for safe engagement in gardening, kitchen work, handyman help, and other household and normal daily tasks. Life skills activities provide a sense of purpose, meaning and belonging as residents complete tasks related to everyday life.
