Our Alzheimer's support party was a huge success. Thanks to everyone for their support
We had a great Happy Hour with cold drinks, hot appetizers, and warm friendly faces.
Resident Programs Director, Joe, took a bus of residents on a tour of the famous sites in St. Paul's gangster history. We stopped by the South St Paul Stockyard robbery site, Ma Barker's house in West St. Paul, the Wabasha caves where gangsters hung out, and the Lincoln Court apartments where John Dillinger lived.
To remember and honor those who lost their lives on 9/11, our movie today is "United 93" the harrowing story of those who died in the fields in Pennsylvania
Last night was the first night of our three Alzheimer fundraising dinners. All money raised goes to the Alzheimer's Association.
Bill, our bus driver, took a group of residents to the Landscape Arboretum. A beautiful day for flowers.

A big thank you to Marion and Hazel for the in-room patriot concert they performed for our residents last week! Our Resident Programs Director, Emily, recorded these ladies playing in their rooms and was able to broadcast it on Channel 991 so everyone could see! It was a hit! ๐ ๐บ๐ธ
Happy Hour... because our residents deserve to be happy! ๐

Handmade gifts for all of our wonderful Veterans! Brookdale Edina admires our Veteran's devotion, courage, and willingness to fight for our country.
Last week during our door-to-door happy hour, Brookdale Edina residents were able to meet our new Resident Programs Director, Emily, while also enjoying a cranberry brie crostini and apple cider cocktails!
Emily is extremely passionate about working with seniors and ensuring their needs are met in order to achieve their highest quality of life. She views each resident holistically and empowers them to take charge of their wellness and engagement in the community. We cannot wait to see the positive and proactive changes Emily brings to the programming department at Brookdale Edina. Welcome, Emily!

We are so happy to welcome our new Health and Wellness Director, Jill Rekdal, RN. Welcome to the Brookdale Edina community, Jill!
Brookdale Edina would like to congratulate our Health and Wellness Coordinator, Josh. The basis for the โEveryday Heroesโ program is to recognize and appreciate those that have gone above and beyond in delivering the Brookdale Experience: finding a way to say yes, having a thankful spirit in your work, and finding out what we can do to deliver an even better service. When you look for an example of an associate that completes these daily you will be hard-pressed to find someone more dedicated than Josh. Josh is hard-working, dedicated, organized, and driven to make sure our residents get the service they deserve.
