Brookdale Salem

Brookdale Salem serves residents and families in Salem, Oregon, and surrounding areas like Marion County and the Polk County region of Willamette Valley in northwestern Oregon. The community specializes in supporting residents with different types of dementia and offers premiere memory care services. Here, residents have access to two memory care programs including the Clare Bridge and Solace program.

The Clare Bridge program is an exclusive brand of dementia care. It was established more than 30 years ago and provides residents with six planned activities each day to promote and preserve the use of their current skills. The Solace program provides additional support to residents in the later stages of dementia. It includes elements of the Clare Bridge, but offers even more services including grooming assistance, and opportunities to engage in aromatherapy and sensory activities, as well as music.

Residents often find comfort knowing their safety and needs are priorities here. Staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency. An emergency alert system, secured entrances and exits, as well as an enclosed outdoor courtyard and garden are also used on site as additional ways to heighten security.

During mealtimes, residents can look forward to dementia-friendly menus featuring easy-to-manage options in a small, intimate dining room. The seating is preselected to promote feelings of familiarity, and assistance during meals is available if needed.

Staff members work with residents closely and are given consistent care assignments as well. This promotes regularity and allows residents and dementia-trained staff members to build relationship-rich partnerships. Whether it’s care, activities, meals, and more, Brookdale’s goal is to tailor your experience and provide one-on-one support.

Community Services and Amenities

To simplify residents’ days to the fullest, the community offers concierge services, transportation assistance, and postal services. While staff manages the cooking and cleaning, you can indulge in some treats at the ice cream parlor, or relax with a close friend in the cozy fireside living room. An on-site beauty/barber shop is also present to save you time and a drive to the salon. The Personal Solutions program offers convenience, too. Submit a list of desired items such as shampoo, or other necessities, and staff will deliver the items to your door privately at no extra cost for the delivery.

Do what you need to do to make yourself at home, and let staff know if you need a helping hand settling in.
