Brookdale Senior Living

Brookdale Senior Living, founded in 1978, is the largest operator of senior living communities in the United States. The company runs more than 670 communities across 41 states from its headquarters in Brentwood, Tennessee, and serves more than 60,000 residents each day. Its footprint spans the full range of senior care settings, and most of its communities have been recognised by U.S. News & World Report for four consecutive years.

The company provides independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing and continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), which combine these services within a single campus. Memory care is delivered in part through the Clare Bridge programme, a specialist approach for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia that has been refined over 30 years.

Brookdale describes its mission in terms of compassion, respect, excellence and integrity, and states that it listens to residents and families in order to tailor solutions to individual needs. The company positions its communities as environments in which seniors can continue to grow, contribute and live meaningful lives, and reports a commitment to quality and operational excellence, with growth pursued through strategic acquisitions.
