Memory care is described as person-centered support for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The Clare Bridge program follows a structured daily routine with six planned activities, which may include cognitive games and discussions, along with physical activities such as walking and dancing. Gardening, cooking and music are also part of the described programming. Familiar routines and sensory experiences, including music, pet visits and soothing scents, are used in memory care; families can share updates and milestones through a virtual scrapbook.
Memory care is provided in a secure setting with keypad entry and an emergency alert system. Residents can spend time in gardens and courtyards, and personal belongings can help make apartments familiar. For people with advanced dementia, the Solace program adds extra time for grooming and sensory activities such as music and aromatherapy.

It wasn't as new and fresh and updated kind of a feel as the other facility. It's what I expected, not over the top, but it seemed that equipped. The staff was very good. They have a movie room…”

I have been here 6 months and I have had numerous problems with staff and care by same So have other residents. Disrespect and rudeness is in full view by many medical staff members. I am a retired multiple certified physician and surgeon and 78 years old Treatment here for. me is inadequate and noted inexperienced staff also.A disgusting situation as a medical person working with people for 60 years. Sometimes waiting for care after pressing call button for 2 hours and alerting again and being told now we are on a break for an hour and one half! Absolutely disgusting and I am paying an extra $650 per month to. Uncalled for situation in any case I hope other Brookdales are not like this! The administration is not giving residents respect for the elderly. I see it but most residents do not due to various circumstances like dementia or Parkinson disease or Alzheimers. I also have advanced degrees in Psychology to so I have an advantage for helping others This is now my home address and that is a worry for me and hopefully can help make improvements to. Considering what I have seen I have little hope of change realizing the mind set of administration and health directors and lack of COMPASSION for people here. Disgusting display and hurts my feelings about human beings Furthermore being talked down to as well as belittling occurring all the time by low IQ people here is very disconcerting. Especially from medically oriented staff! Enough! Dr. Stephen Bachove Additional information concerning food services here at Brookdale Lake Mary. Not good and for me and as expressed by others food not always edible and I find disgusting at times I have been told that this no way to treat the elderly! It is going down hill to. When decent no extras no doubles no getting 2 entrees.
I went to Brookdale Lake Mary. It was nice. I was impressed. I was happy with it, and I was given a nice tour. Everything seemed fine. It wasn't as new and fresh and updated kind of a feel as the other facility. It's what I expected, not over the top, but it seemed that equipped. The staff was very good. They have a movie room and a game room.
Based on my recent experience, I would not recommend the facility. My mom’s personal belongings went missing, her maintenance issues weren’t addressed, and communication from management was poor. There is also a serious pest problem - roaches were on the third floor, possibly originating from the first-floor kitchen which suggests an infestation.

Many of the reviews for Brookdale are from several years ago and don’t reflect current conditions. Based on my recent experience, I would not recommend the facility. My mom’s personal belongings went missing, her maintenance issues weren’t addressed, and communication from management was poor. There is also a serious pest problem - roaches were on the third floor, possibly originating from the first-floor kitchen which suggests an infestation.
From the moment my wife and walked in to meet with the asked team, he provided a tour of the site while answering all my questions. My sister has now been living here since mid- January and she's fascinated. The level of support and care has been superb.
The facility is in a good location and not big or intimidating, and the staff are friendly. However, there could be improvements with cleaning, laundry and food quality. It is average priced, and average overall quality. Billing was a problem each month.
Heard this place finally got rid of "The Warden" Michelle Gray. I hope now it will get an executive director that is loving and caring as the residents here deserve. I also hope Brookdale corporate comes in and gets rid of Carline and the roach infested kitchen that somehow always manages to pass health inspection.
Both my mother & sister love Brookdale, they have made a lot of new friends and enjoy the activities. They have thanked us many times for picking the "right facility".
