Brookdale Roanoke

We understand your concerns for your loved one's safety and well-being, along with the weight of the responsibility of caring for someone with dementia. At our community in Roanoke, Va., which offers Alzheimer's and dementia care, we have the experience to understand the complexity of dementia 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.

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 the important feeling of fitting in. Clare Bridge focuses on sustaining feelings of belonging, purpose and safety while seeking to preserve a sense of self. More simply, we meet them where they are.

Our single-story community, nestled in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood setting and surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, is divided into four individual residences that truly reflect a home-like environment with kitchens, living and dining areas that encourage socialization, comfort and relaxation. Most importantly, it was built for safety, so it's protected by a 24-hour security system and enclosed walking areas so our residents can feel a sense of independence and freedom as they safely explore the outdoor courtyards, patios and the rest of their surroundings.

A full activity calendar provides many opportunities for your loved one to stay active and engaged. Residents enjoy baking in the community kitchen, arranging flowers, playing trivia games, sing-alongs, getting manicures, getting coffee with a friend and gathering for movie nights.

Our studio apartments offer privacy and a quiet place for your loved one to retreat when he or she feels the need. Filled with natural light from large windows, our private apartments are a place for your loved one to be surrounded by the comfort of his or her own familiar furnishings, family photos and treasured keepsakes.

Because memory care residents typically do not eat large amounts of food at one time, we make sure residents have a sufficient calorie intake by serving three snacks in addition to three meals each day. We also offer various textured and finger foods, as some residents cannot use utensils, and provide support for those who need help eating.
