For seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia, we also provide a structured daily path of engagement through our memory care program. This includes a minimum of six planned daily activities that are designed to strengthen physical, cognitive, and social skills—such as morning mental workouts, clustered group discussions, walking groups, and art therapy.
At the end of a long day, everyone needs their own personal space to recharge. Residents can choose between a few apartment floor plan options, each offering a private bath, storage space, and large windows for plenty of natural light. We're also a pet-friendly community, so all four-legged friends are welcome! After all, it wouldn't feel quite like home without them, right?
When it comes to your care plan, everything is customized to your needs. With assisted living, our care staff can help with little things like grooming, dressing, and medication management. You'll also enjoy conveniences like housekeeping and restaurant-style dining, which allow you to focus on the bigger moments in life and redefine your independence.
If your needs change along the way, it's an easy transition to our memory care program. Along with a structured daily path to help strengthen skills and preserve a sense of identity, our memory care program offers a deeper level of support with gentle reminders and encouragement. Our specialty-trained staff are also ready to help with things like healthcare provider coordination, getting around on campus, and dining assistance.
Our community takes safety seriously, and you and your loved ones will find comfort in knowing that we have care staff on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to any emergencies.

My father resided at Brookdale Gardens for over two years. Right from his initial placement, the staff and administration have been exceptional. They have kept us consistently informed and updated on his health and well being. They have truly gone above and beyond my expectations. I could not have asked for better service. Thank you Brookdale Gardens!

Moved my family member to Brookdale on a Saturday. The facility was waiting for us. When movers completed the move, my family and myself were invited to lunch by kitchen staff person and then when arrived at dinning room with nursing staff and was introduced to the residents. After greating all, we sat with a resident and enjoyed our meal and was served with professional but family like staff that put us at ease. After lunch spoke with staff often with a ton of questions and they answered all questions with a genuine response. Then it was dinner time and we were late but greeted again like family. Great food, great family staff and residents. A place for Mom assisted me this great find and was instrumental in my selection for my family. But truly Brookdale was way more personal than any other places, and I toured 10 local places. Thank you Brookdale gardens for being there for us during a sensitive time for my family and myself.

We had such a disappointing experience with this facility. We had visited twice, went through having the assessment of our family member, went through weeks of paperwork, and set up a move in day and time. Family members drove from out of state to help pack and move the family member. The morning of the move, we sent a text to the staff reminding them we were arriving at 11:00 that morning and received an "ok' response. Literally, at 10:30 that morning, after having packed up two vehicles and were about to leave the driveway, we got a call from the Executive Director that they, in fact, would not be accepting her! It took us months to get to the point where we had made the decision to seek a facility for our loved one and after weeks of working with Brookdale, they changed their minds literally at the last moment.

Our mother resided at Brookdale Bradenton Gardens for years. While the care she received was good, the Brookdale billing department and Long Term Care Insurance claims processing is not. Brookdale’s business departments have let this very crucial and timely issue linger since March, 2020. We continue to reach out to Brookdale’s accounting department in order to submit the necessary Monthly Billing Statements and CMR forms required for the LTC Insurance claims that must be paid. Brookdale bills were drawn from our bank monthly, as were the insurance premiums for the patient’s extended care coverage. The accounting department has yet to respond, nor do they return our calls, and denied us an appointment with an administrator. Brookdale’s lack of accountability has left us feeling we should share our experience with the public, hoping it improves Brookdale's overall customer service and possibly bring this issue to resolution
