Brookdale Virginia Beach

Memory loss doesn t have to mean all is lost. If you and your family are looking for a memory care community, Brookdale Virginia Beach can help. Our Alzheimer's and dementia care community, also known as Clare Bridge, is rooted in a person-centered approach . That means we help our residents find a sense of belonging and purpose while also helping them preserve who they are.

It s where state-of-the-art care meets a passion for painting. Our 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. Brain games, dancing, cooking classes and music programs are just a few of the ways our residents enjoy their days. Along with our programming, you ll have peace of mind knowing that trained staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We ll also help you make your loved one s studio apartment comfortable and familiar.

The Clare Bridge Daily Path is an evidence-based approach that offers a gentle daily structure of six planned programs per day, our routine that helps our residents maintain their abilities, encourage the use of their current skills, and offer a sense of security and accomplishment. Working in small cluster groups, each resident is surrounded by others with the same cognitive abilities, to give them a feeling of fitting in. Activities include a morning cognitive workout with discussions, brain games and physical fitness and movement classes like our B-Fit program, walking programs, and dancing.

Surrounded by your favorite things and people who love you that s home. Our studio apartments have plenty of natural window light and a private bathroom. Some even have a garden view. We can also help your family make your loved one s apartment familiar and comfortable with a move-in guide and a suggested list of what to bring.

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.

Art classes, gardening, and yoga are just a few of the activities included on the Daily Path. Our residents also enjoy devotional services, cooking demonstrations, movie night and happy hour, too.

Music is an important part of life at Brookdale Virginia Beach with karaoke and sing-a-longs.
