Brookdale Wilmington Description
Memory care shouldn’t have to mean giving up on a great quality of life. At Brookdale Wilmington, we provide services that help seniors with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia thrive. We don’t settle for existing. Instead, our goal for each of our seniors is to develop a life that maintains a sense of self, while experiencing daily moments of success through dementia-friendly activities and community that gently steers seniors throughout their days. From our carefully designed building to a nurturing and highly trained staff, specialized programming and management, we focus on providing those moments to each resident and their family.
Brookdale was a pioneer in the development of memory care over 25 years ago, and we’ve never stopped perfecting our programs. Our small community offers a comfortable, home-like environment, which is ideal for individuals with memory loss. And because unlike many senior living communities, we’re specialized to memory care, we’re able to provide specific care and services that will help you or your loved one live life well.
