Brookdale Harbison

Brookdale Harbison gives seniors a place to live that's got a lot of helpful options without feeling pushy about any of them, and you'll find private suites like the Silverdale Suite, Townsend Suite, Richmond Suite, and Gatwick Suite, or you can pick from different apartment styles like one-bedroom layouts or kitchenettes to fit your needs, and you get choices for private or shared rooms, all with access to private bathrooms. Staff help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and taking medication, and they're around 24 hours a day, with a 24-hour emergency response system set up to help keep everyone safe, and there's physical therapy services, too, right on site. People living here can get meals three times a day served restaurant-style in their dining rooms, with snacks and drinks offered through the whole day, and if you need special diets or want your meal a certain way, the kitchen staff who go through culinary arts training try to make sure you get what works for you.

Brookdale Harbison also has a program called Optimum Life® that's about keeping people healthy in every way-physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and even with purpose-driven activity-so there's a calendar of different activities like walking club, movie nights, fitness classes, arts and crafts, gardening, and scheduled trips to places like Riverbanks Zoo and Botanical Gardens. There's a library, living room, sunroom or screened porch, a patio, an activity room, resident lounge, arts and crafts studio, and scenic walking paths for when you want to keep busy or just relax, and if you need to get somewhere, scheduled transportation and staff help are available for rides or outings. Housekeeping and laundry get taken care of, and if you're moving in, concierge services can help make that easier. There are programs to explain how to use things like Medicare, Medicaid, insurance, veterans benefits, or even funds from selling a house to help pay for care.

Care at Brookdale Harbison is set up around your needs. The staff do a personal assessment to figure out what's best for each person, with care ranging from independent living for active seniors, assisted living for those who want some help, and skilled nursing with on-site skilled care, all the way to memory care with special safety features and programs for adults with Alzheimer's or other dementias, plus companion care and non-medical help for folks still living at home. The property has controlled access, is pet-friendly, and offers things like internet, postal services, and a variety of floor plans, and there's a strong focus on making Brookdale Harbison a place that's affordable compared to keeping up a private house. Brookdale Harbison is known for having an experienced caregiving team, many comfort-focused features, and a wide selection of activities, amenities, and care options so people can stay safe, social, and as healthy as possible in later years, whether that means a little help or a lot.

Brookdale Senior Living Inc. (NYSE: BKD) is the largest senior living operator in the United States, managing over 640 communities with capacity for approximately 59,000 residents across 41 states and employing around 36,000 associates. Founded in 1978 and publicly traded since 2005, Brookdale solidified its market leadership through major acquisitions including American Retirement Corporation (2006) and Emeritus Senior Living (2014), making it the only national full-spectrum senior living company. Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Brookdale has topped the American Seniors Housing Association's ASHA 50 list and Argentum's largest providers list for multiple consecutive years.

The company's comprehensive care continuum includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs). Brookdale's signature Clare Bridge program, developed over 30 years ago by dementia-care experts, provides specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care through two distinct levels: Clare Bridge communities for comprehensive memory support and the Clare Bridge Solace program for advanced-stage dementia residents. The program is recognized by the Alzheimer's Association® for incorporating evidence-based Dementia Care Practice Recommendations and features secure environments, enclosed courtyards, Daily Path programming with six structured activities daily, and the InTouch technology platform offering personalized brain-stimulating games and therapeutic content.

Brookdale's holistic Optimum Life® wellness approach balances six dimensions—Purposeful, Physical, Emotional, Social, Spiritual, and Intellectual—implemented through signature programs including B-Fit (eight exercise class options), Brain Fit (mental fitness workouts), My Life Story (resident storytelling), EngagementPlus (interest-based connections), Growing Together (collaborative learning), and The Ageless Spirit (kindness and gratitude practices). The Embrace Family Partnership provides caregiver education and support for families of memory care residents.

The company's Brookdale HealthPlus® care coordination model, winner of the 2024 Argentum Best of the Best Award placing it among the top 1% of operators, is a technology-enabled healthcare service featuring dedicated RN Care Managers who proactively manage residents' health, coordinate care transitions, and help prevent avoidable hospitalizations. Communities using HealthPlus report 78% fewer urgent care visits, 36% fewer hospitalizations, and 63% more completed annual wellness visits. The Personal Solutions program delivers hygiene products, medications, and daily necessities directly to residents' doors with discreet packaging and monthly billing convenience.

Following a strategic divestiture of its home health and hospice operations to HCA Healthcare (completed December 2023), Brookdale now focuses exclusively on senior living operations while maintaining its position as the industry's largest operator, committed to its mission of enriching lives with compassion, respect, excellence, and integrity.
