Brookdale Harrisonburg

If you re seeking more than just a place to live, then Brookdale Harrisonburg is the place for you, because, here, we offer a place to live well. Retirement is the time to indulge yourself, to live purposefully and re-ignite some of those passions that got left by the wayside throughout the years. At our community, which offers both assisted living and memory care, you can savor the beauty of the majestic Shenandoah Valley while remaining convenient to the attractions of the Richmond, Charlottesville, Roanoke and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas.

As an assisted living resident, you can stay wonderfully independent and active while receiving the daily personal assistance you need. 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 close friendships. And you have peace of mind knowing our staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

At Brookdale Harrisonburg, we offer tailored activities, interest groups and social gatherings to stimulate the mind, body and soul. Begin your day with positive reinforcement thinking, a morning dialogue or a morning stretch and flex exercise group. Fill the rest of the days with arts & crafts, live music, mix-and-mingle socials, sing-alongs, current events and board games. We love planning off-site trips to the Blue Ridge Parkway for picnics, Harrisonburg s Quilt Museum, an ice cream social at Bruster s or an evening meal out at one of our local restaurants. When you want to venture out and don t want to drive, we are conveniently located on the Harrisonburg Transit Authority bus line.

The peace and tranquility of the surrounding Blue Ridge and Massanutten mountains reaches inside our walls, as well. You ll find that our home, like yours, is comfortable, cozy and relaxing. Our common areas, including a fireside living room, sunlight-filled, elegant dining room and enclosed courtyard, naturally draw people together. 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.

You can choose from three floor plans which apartment best fits your needs. Each apartment includes a private bath and large windows that let in plenty of natural light. We also offer friendship suites where two residents, who either don t want to live alone or wish to save on rent, can share accommodations. You are encouraged to bring your own furnishings, photos and treasured keepsakes to decorate your apartment in your own unique style.

Our memory care residents engage in such activities as beach ball volleyball, chair swimming, painting, singing, movie nights or playing trivia games. Maybe you ll find them getting coffee with a friend, participating in reminiscing chats or attending mix-and-mingle socials. They re having fun, yes. But each of these activities is part of a carefully structured care program to help our residents live their best life, even when dementia is advanced.

Our fine dining experience is prepared by a trained chef who serves three nutritious restaurant-style meals and several snacks each day. You ll dine on such tasty and refined dishes as chicken cordon bleu, Mediterranean-style cod and beef burgundy. 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 focused on 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. While your loved one benefits from our care, you ll have peace of mind knowing there is trained staff on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
