Brookdale Virginia Beach

Our Alzheimer's and dementia care community, also known as Clare Bridge, is rooted in “a person-centered approach”. That means we help our residents find a sense of belonging and purpose while also helping them preserve who they are.

Your loved one will stay engaged with a gentle daily structure of planned activities to help them maintain their abilities and encourage the use of their current skills. Brain games, dancing, cooking classes and music programs are just a few of the ways our residents enjoy their days.

The Clare Bridge Daily Path is an evidence-based approach that offers a gentle daily structure of six planned programs per day, a routine that helps our residents maintain their abilities, encourage the use of their current skills, and offer a sense of security and accomplishment. Working in small cluster groups, each resident is surrounded by others with the same cognitive abilities, to give them a feeling of fitting in.

Here are some examples of activities included on the Daily Path:
•Morning cognitive workout with discussions
•Brain games a
•Movement classes like our B-Fit program
•Walking programs
•Dancing
•Art classes
•Gardening
•Yoga
•Devotional services
•Music
•InTouch interactive touch screen computer?

Surrounded by your favorite things and people who love you – that’s home.  Our studio apartments have plenty of natural window light and a private bathroom. Some even have a garden view. We have a move-in guide to help your family with the transition and to help make your loved one’s apartment familiar and comfortable with a suggested list of what to bring.

Our Clare Bridge environments feature areas of the community that are set up for safe engagement in gardening, kitchen work, handyman help, and other household and normal daily tasks. Life skills activities provide a sense of purpose, meaning and belonging as residents complete tasks related to everyday life.

Whether it’s our Clare Bridge program for mid to late stages or our Solace program for the advanced stages of dementia, we have purposeful programs that offer the care you and your family need. Along with our programming, you’ll have peace of mind knowing there is trained staff on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

With our Clare Bridge Solace Program, we help meet the unique needs of residents living with the advanced stages of dementia, striving to keep them engaged and continually making meaningful connections. Solace programming adds a layer of programming to engage sensory awareness and focus on comfort and joy.

Our exclusive Personalized Service System allows us to provide individually customized plans for your family member.  Your customized plan means you only pay for the services you need and want. And we’re flexible, so when your needs decrease or increase, your plan and its cost do, too.
