Overview
Just because your loved one is living with Alzheimer’s or dementia doesn’t mean they can’t live a fulfilling life. They deserve to enjoy a meaningful and purposeful life, surrounded by kind care associates who are trained to provide top-notch quality care. If it sounds too good to be true, we have good news.
Brookdale Mandarin Central is a memory care community in Jacksonville, Florida, that can offer your loved one all of that — and so much more. From the moment you arrive, you’ll see what we mean. From a comfortable and shaded porch to the spacious common rooms and friendly team members, we think you’ll understand why so many of our residents are happy to be here.
If your loved one lives here, they’ll participate in our Clare Bridge memory care program. After waking up in their very own comfortable and sunny apartment, our team will offer gentle guidance and reminders over the course of six planned activities. The activities change from day to day, but here are some of the most popular activities that our residents enjoy:
-
Walking clubs
-
Bingo tournaments
-
Brain games
-
Craft classes
-
Cooking demonstrations
-
Corn hole competitions
-
Fitness classes
-
Movie nights
-
Happy hour socials
-
Scenic drives
-
Music clubs
We like to think it’s an impressive list — and that’s not even half of it. Your loved one will also have the chance to get to know other residents in their peer group with similar abilities and skills, which can help them feel a deep sense of belonging, purpose and appreciation.
While they’re here working on their skills and enjoying time with new friends, you can rest easy knowing they are safe and sound in their new home. Our staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to be alerted to an emergency, so you don’t have to fret over what would happen in a crisis. We’re also more than happy to offer assistance with things like bathing, dressing, managing medication and coordinating with outside healthcare providers.

My grandfather has been living at Brookdale Mandarin Central for over a year now and we love it. He’s comfortable, has a routine and most importantly, he is safe. The staff is amazing and friendly. We’ve had no complaints at all.

When my mom was diagnosed with Dementia we struggled for almost a year to care for her ourselves. We were failing and mom’s health was steadily declining. Once she moved into Brookdale we were no longer worried. Her health improved and she regained her purpose. The staff makes Brookdale feel like a home. They are attentive, engaging, and truly care. They know the details of every resident and always provide continuous updates. The family support meetings have helped educate us on how to be supportive care advocates. We also love the family nights where we get to join in on all of the fun! I highly recommend Brookdale Mandarin Central to anyone who is looking for the highest quality care for their loved one. —Catherine Penrod

Truly a blessing. Staff and facility are amazing. The fact that my family member is truly safe, bathing, getting fed, correct medicine on time, and rehab shows. Best decision ever!

The staff at Brookdale have been absolutely wonderful in caring for my grandmother. They go above and beyond to make sure she feels safe, comfortable, and respected every day. The team is patient, attentive, and truly takes the time to connect with her, which gives our whole family peace of mind. It’s clear they genuinely care about the residents, and we’re so grateful to have her in such a supportive environment.
