Brookdale Carmel is the only private pay, freestanding all memory care community in Central Indiana. Located just 30 minutes from Indianapolis, we provide Alzheimer’s and dementia care for seniors.

Our philosophy is that of “person centered care,” and we offer the Daily Path of Life Enrichment and Care to help meet our residents at their point of need and encourage their highest level of participation. All of our staff are trained to care for residents with memory care needs on an ongoing, monthly basis.

Life at Brookdale Carmel

Our community has an open neighborhood concept, each of which features a kitchenette, common living space and suites that surround the common area of each neighborhood.

When you or your loved one joins our Memory Care community, you’ll be given the strongest kind of support, security and life-enriching programs. We create an environment that allows you to feel safe while enjoying meaningful experiences every day.

We have a state-of-the-art approach to Alzheimer’s and Dementia care, which has been perfected throughout the years. This approach is based on the Clare Bridge concept that utilizes the latest research and innovations to deliver quality Memory Care to seniors. We focus on caring for the individual—working to encourage feelings of belonging, a sense of self, purpose and fulfillment.

Through our Clare Bridge Daily Path program, our staff is able to provide a gentle structure to each day that targets specific needs of those with Alzheimer’s and various types and levels of dementia.

Features of the Clare Bridge Daily Path program include:

•Morning Mental Workout – Daily late morning mental exercises including discussions, brain stimulating games, and reminiscing.
•Daily Physical Activity – A variety of exercise opportunities including group exercises, walking programs and dancing.
•Daily Life Skills – Individual or group activities that provide a sense of purpose, meaning, and belonging.
•Person Centered Life Enrichment Programming – Activities are designed using the resident’s own social history information as a foundation.
