Brookdale Olympia East

Brookdale Olympia East, located in Olympia, WA, sits under state license number 2275 and offers a range of care like assisted living, independent living, memory care for dementia, skilled nursing, and even home health care and adult day care, so people can find support at different stages as they age, and there's a staff that's around 24 hours a day, seven days a week for help with emergencies or daily support, which can mean medication help, bathing, dressing, grooming, and getting around if needed. There are 75 licensed beds here, and the place has a low occupancy rate, so things aren't crowded and there's space for new residents, plus it's pet-friendly, so cats and small dogs can come live here too, making things feel a little more like home for many folks.

This community features things many folks want-there's on-site religious services, so a person can keep up their spiritual life without needing to go out, and meals are prepared by a chef and served in a restaurant-style dining room with both regular and private dining options, with diets like low-salt or low-sugar available for those who need special menus while visitors can also share a meal as a guest. Apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom styles, all with private bathrooms, closets, and kitchenettes, and some units offer garden views. Residents can expect housecleaning, maintenance, laundry, and linen services, so there's no need to worry about chores or keeping up with the yard, and there are parking options with a lot for those who drive, plus transportation options for errands, doctor visits, or shopping, although those might cost a bit extra.

The grounds include outdoor garden areas and a scenic courtyard with walking paths, while inside you'll spot fireplaces, lounges, a community library with plenty of books, a grand piano, and meeting rooms for games, social groups, or clubs. There's a fitness center and regular wellness and recreation programs like games, hobbies, music, and sometimes scenic drives or outings, and a full schedule of social, educational, and entertainment activities gives folks the chance to connect, stay active, and make new friends. The whole building is wheelchair accessible, and the showers are designed for easy access as well.

Health and safety features come standard, with emergency call systems in every unit, staff trained in medication reminders, and secure memory care for residents with dementia or memory loss, helping keep people safe and comfortable even as care needs change. Nursing and rehab services, home health care, hospice, and respite care are all available, so those needing short-term help or long-term support can get it right where they live.

Salon services are on site with things like hair washing and styling available without needing to leave the building, and Wi-Fi plus computer workstations help people stay in touch with family or do personal paperwork, and language support is available in English. Financing is flexible, with rent and care fee packages, and service is tiered so people pay only for what they need, allowing some to keep a high level of independence and others to get more daily support, all while living in the same community. Common areas, friendly and trained staff, pet policies, special interest clubs, group events, daily activities, and optional adult day program services are all part of life here. Brookdale Olympia East is owned by Brookdale Senior Living, a company experienced in caring for seniors and building support around dignity, wellness, and quality of life for all stages of aging. Things feel home-like and welcoming, with a focus on safety, comfort, and a balance of privacy and community.

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.
