We believe that no one should be defined by the symptoms of Alzheimer s and dementia. Maintaining identity and a strong sense of self comes from living a life filled with meaning and purpose and contributions we believe having dementia shouldn t change that. For those with Alzheimer s disease or other types of dementia, Brookdale Torbett offers a safe environment and exceptional memory care.
At our memory care community, located in Richland, Wash., we can help you and your family as you consider care for your loved one. We have the experience to understand the complexity of Alzheimer s and dementia and know how to support them at every stage. Memory care services in a safe, comfortable, home-like environment are the unique contribution we can make to your loved one s well-being and quality of life. And for you, there s peace of mind knowing we have trained staff on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
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 help them use meaningful life skills and talents even with advanced expressions of the disease.
Our community was built specifically for residents who need added care and attention, so their safety comes first. Protected by a 24-hour security system and enclosed walking areas, our residents living with dementia or other cognitive challenges can feel a sense of independence as they safely explore the outdoor gardening area, courtyard and the rest of their surroundings.
Apartments, all with large windows to let in abundant natural light and private baths, are a place for your loved one to be surrounded by the comfort of his or her own familiar furnishings, treasured family photos and keepsakes.
You ll see our residents enjoying exercise classes such as chair yoga or bean bag toss, art projects, puzzles, games and live music performances. We also offer spa days, music therapy and sing-alongs all designed to help them live their best life.
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. Our easy-to-navigate floor plans and extra details, such as soothing wall colors, provide all the comforts of home so residents feel safe and not overwhelmed.
Deeply rooted in a person-centered approach, our Alzheimer s and dementia care is called the Clare Bridge program, where each resident is surrounded by others with the same cognitive abilities, to give them a 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 discussions 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. The Daily Path is carefully structured to give each resident purpose and a sense of security that they are right where they need to be. And, of course, you ll have peace of mind knowing there is trained staff on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
