Overview
Brookdale Harrisonburg is a community where you can enjoy all of the conveniences and luxuries of vacation-style living without sacrificing the comforts of home. Our assisted living and memory care community is nestled in beautiful Harrisonburg, Virginia, with convenient access to attractions in the Richmond, Charlottesville, and Washing D.C. areas.
Given our convenient location, residents enjoy planned group excursions like picnic trips to the Blue Ridge Parkway or a visit to the Harrisonburg's Quilt Museum. Although there's a lot to do nearby, our seniors know that all of the true excitement happens right here on campus. You might enjoy your morning cup of coffee out on our beautifully landscaped courtyard, and then join in on a group sing-along or friendly game of cards. Or, you might start your morning with an energizing group fitness class and then indulge your creative side with an art class.
There's always something interesting to do on campus, and someone interesting to share the experience with. For our memory care residents, we also provide a daily structured path of engagement with life-enrichment activities to strengthen their current skills and encourage socialization. This includes activities like clustered group discussions, reading groups, fitness classes, and music therapy.
Residents will also enjoy a social dining experience with a menu full of nutritious and deliciousmeal options. The menu is changed daily, so you never tire of eating the same meals over and over. Look forward to entrees like rosemary and garlic chicken, grilled tilapia with pecan butter, veal piccata, and BBQ braised beef. Our staff can also provide dining assistance for memory care residents who need a little support.
When it's time to unwind at the end of the day, you'll have a personal space you can call home. Residents can choose between a variety of apartment floor plan options, each designed with a private bathroom and large windows for lots of natural light.
Our campus provides two levels of care, and all programs are tailored to meet the needs of each individual. With assisted living, you enjoy all the independence you want with a helping hand when you need it. We can help with dressing, grooming, or medication management. For seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia, our memory care program provides gentle guidance, encouragement, and a deeper level of care.
At the end of the day, we know that peace of mind is important for you and your loved ones. That's why we have staff on campus 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency.

Brookdale is one of the most amazing Assisted living centers that I have worked with in my 17 years in healthcare! The people who live there are always happy, laughing and being taken care of by the wonderful staff! If ever my mother needed a place to stay, this would be her home!

I would describe Brookdale Harrisonburg and the staff as an extension of our family unit. It gives me great comfort to know that my Dad is in a safe and very well kept facility, but more importantly interacting with people everyday who truly care about him as a person. They treat him with such love and respect and really take a very personal interest in him. When Brookdale opened back up after the Pandemic, I asked my Dad if he was still happy there, his comment was "Brookdale is the perfect place for me. The care is excellent and the food and facility both are really well done. The staff takes great care of me". A strong testament to the Brookdale staff and administration is that during the year+ that my Dad lived there during the Pandemic, not once was I concerned about his care and welfare. I knew he was in a very safe place with a great staff. There is very little turnover of staff in this facility so relationships get built and become very strong over time. The Director and the staff are very responsive and also go out of their way to assist families and the residents. Our family has been a part of the Brookdale Harrisonburg community since summer of 2014. My Mother also lived there for a couple of years in Memory Care before her death and my feedback is the same for this unit-a family feel with a very caring and skilled staff. I highly recommend Brookdale Harrisonburg and have not thought twice about our decision to make this my parent's home. What I did not realize in this choice is that it would become more than a facility and a place to live, but as I said in the opening line of this review, it is an extension of our family unit. That gives us all great comfort and joy.

My sister and I had to make the dreaded decision to place our mom in an assisted living home. Dementia/Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease and all of the people (Amy Cook, Michael Kelley, Jenn, Kayla, Ryan), and all of the nurses and staff at Brookdale have made the transition wonderful and pain free. They are available to talk with you any time day or night. The facility is so nice and as my momma says, “they are all so nice here and it smells so clean!” Having this “family” on our side is making this decision a whole lot easier. ❤️
