Brookdale Dr. Phillips (MC)

Brookdale Dr. Phillips offers residents a person-centered approach to memory care. Here, each individual receives a personalized care plan to enhance their experience and quality of life. Brookdale offers two memory care programs which cater to those in the early, mid, and late stages of dementia. Although it was created more than 30 years ago, the Clare Bridge program continually evolves with new research. The program provides residents with six planned activities per day. These activities encourage residents to use their current skills, while preserving their abilities and true sense of self. The Solace program does not replace any elements of Clare Bridge. Instead, it adds additional programming, such as music and aromatherapy, while offering assistance with managing medications, dressing, and more. To provide residents with structure and stability, Brookdle’s team works to understand each resident's history, routines, and needs. In addition to providing custom care, the staff assists with cooking, cleaning, lawn care, transportation, and other tedious chores. Rest assured, dementia-trained team members are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency. Additionally, residents benefit from other safety features, including an enclosed courtyard, secured entrances and exits, keypad entries, and an emergency alert system. Residents also have access to an on-site pharmacy as well as a beauty and barber shop. The goal here is to make everyone feel safe and supported.

Community Services and Amenities

Residents can enjoy morning brain games, flower-arranging workshops, popsicle socials, manicures, musical performances, and plenty of other activities. Plus, the community offers a library, a garden, a game room, a screened lanai, a woodworking shop, and other amenities to enjoy. There are a variety of ways to stay engaged here while also having some fun. If your loved one needs assistance obtaining their personal items, such as toothpaste, toilet paper, floss, or other necessities, the staff can assist. Through the Personal Solutions program, staff members will deliver item requests to residents' front doors. Best of all, there is no extra charge for the delivery.
