Brookdale White Rock

Maintaining identity and a strong sense of self comes from living a life filled with meaning, purpose and contributions. At Brookdale White Rock, we believe having dementia shouldn t change that. For those with Alzheimer s disease or other types of dementia, our community, located in the close-knit neighborhood known as Lake Highlands, an historic area of Dallas, Texas, offers a safe environment and exceptional memory care.

With our carefully designed building and nurturing and highly trained staff, we focus on serving the specific needs of each resident and their family. 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 there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

On any given day, you ll see our residents engaged in such sports as balloon volleyball or kickball, socializing at parties and other get-togethers, reminiscing about the old days and enjoying music. Maybe you ll find them playing cards, getting coffee with a friend or attending movie nights. Each of these activities is part of a carefully designed care program to help our residents live their best life.

Because Brookdale White rock specializes in memory care, our community has been designed with our residents in mind. With monitored entries and exits and an enclosed courtyard and garden, they remain safe while having complete freedom of movement. Our apartments, common areas, dining area and outdoor spaces are all built to be memory-friendly.

Our memory care program is deeply rooted in a person-centered approach focused on creating feelings of belonging and purpose for your loved one, while seeking to preserve their identity and sense of self. More simply, we meet them where they are. With gentle guidance and visual reminders, we help them flourish in activities such as gardening, kitchen work and other projects that provide the opportunity to use meaningful life skills and talents even with advanced expressions of the disease.

Three savory home-style meals and three delicious snacks are served daily in our dining area. To help alleviate any confusion or added stress, we keep mealtimes very routine for our memory care community. All residents sit together at the same time and same table each day. Place settings are designed to enhance and provide ease for each person and meals can quickly be converted to hand-held for those who prefer walking or standing, rather than sitting.

Our Alzheimer s and dementia care, called the Clare Bridge program, is deeply rooted in a person-centered approach. Each resident is surrounded by others with the same cognitive abilities, to give them the secure 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 reminiscing 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.
