While this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s events will be different, they continue to be deeply meaningful. They continue to help raise awareness about the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. They continue to help raise funds that make a difference in the lives of those facing Alzheimer’s. Brookdale Senior Living Inc. continues to be one of the largest corporate supporters of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This year, thousands of Brookdale associates, residents, and patients are participating in or supporting virtual walks across the country.

Another week full of programming. So many projects started, we can’t wait to share the finished product! This week we made our own corn on the cob with many toppings to choose from.

We are also working on our Bird Observatory, where residents will be able to bird watch and enjoy the view from the comfort of their home. Have a great weekend!

Happy National M&M Day! Created in 1941 and still loved to this day, different varieties of this beloved chocolate were put to the test. The residents sampled seven different kinds of M&Ms and our favorite was the peanut butter flavor. Our second favorites were fudge brownie, almond, caramel, and dark chocolate. We also made cookies and they turned out delicious! What a sweet day!
One of the pillars of brain health is eating a balanced diet, which includes eating fruits like blueberries which are rich in antioxidants. Our resident program assistant whipped up some healthy smoothies, full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Cheers to the good life!

One of our dining room servers, Mercedes, has gotten her COVID-19 vaccine. She did it to protect everyone around her!
Some of the Leadership team have already taken the 1st dose of the Vaccine! We are grateful to be a part of the solution, in helping protect our residents, associates and families.
The CDC strongly recommends the COVID-19 vaccine and it’s so important that as many people as possible get vaccinated. We will be having our second vaccine clinic on February 24th at 11AM for community residents and associates who are interested in receiving their first or second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Getting vaccinated will help protect you, your friends, family and other members of your community. Learn more about our efforts around the COVID-19 vaccine here:
