As Veteran's Day 2020 arrives, we find ourselves celebrating slightly different from years past. Margaret and Linda, however, found themselves celebrating in exactly the same way!! We would like to thank each of our veterans, the folks currently serving in our military, and those that paid the ultimate sacrifice! Without you, we would not be celebrating the freedom we know today. Happy Veteran's Day from our house to yours!
We are so excited!!! We can social distance and enjoy racing our horses at the same time!
Mary Anne got a new cell phone! Asha is helping her learn all about her first smart phone!
Happy Hour to go and great Halloween costumes! Happy Halloween from our house to yours!

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 Thursday, February 4th beginning at 10:00am 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:

Esther once again helped us get the calendars prepared for distribution. We have the best resident volunteers ever! Thank you to each and every one of them for their continued support!
One of our dining room servers, Mercedes, has gotten her COVID-19 vaccine. She did it to protect everyone around her!
Our Covid vaccine clinic was a success! We were able to vaccinate almost all of our residents and staff! Our Executive Director started the day out with the first vaccination. Everyone else was completed by 5pm. Yay Team West U!
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. We are partnering with CVS Health through the federal government’s Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program and will be having our first vaccine clinic on Thursday, January 14th at 10:30am for community residents and associates who are interested in receiving the vaccine. Together, we can take action to prevent COVID-19. #BrookdaleHope
