We received our first vaccine during the COVID 19 vaccine clinic on Friday, January 22nd. Everything ran smoothly as 130 residents and associates received their vaccine. Afterward, the residents were treated to cupcakes, coffee, and popcorn. It was an exciting day for all.
Efforts towards COVID-19 prevention have become part of our daily lives, and we are so pleased to share that our Brookdale residents and associates are among the first group to have access to a COVID-19 vaccine.

Together, we can take action to prevent COVID-19. #BrookdaleHope
