Provider Response
Thank you for visiting and taking the time to share your thoughts about our community. We realize that our rooms are smaller than many expect. Most of our residents are downsizing, which can be a difficult transition. Residents do not as many items in our setting, as we provide many items and activities!

Questions about Brookdale Johnson City
What ongoing training does the staff receive in dementia care?
We have monthly staff-in-services specialized for our Claire Bridge portion of the community. Additionally, we also have Learning Management Systems, which we can provide additional training or resources for any associate.
Describe the overall population of assisted living residents at Brookdale Johnson City. What is their average age? What are their favorite things to do?
Active, engaged, and, for the most part, healthy residents in our assisted living community. The average age is 82. Residents love playing BINGO and they are very anxious to return to outings: Friday Lunch Bunch and Monday Shopping Trips. We have a beautiful outdoor area where residents love to spend time during warm weather. Several of our residents have green thumbs and so does our RPC, Diane, so in the spring and summer, they plant and nature flowers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers in our pots and raised garden beds. We have a group called “The Card Ladies” who love to play cards and checkers in the afternoons. Several of our gentlemen residents join them too but because the group began with 4 ladies, the name stuck! Our community is full of life and fellowship with friends.
What programs or activities does Brookdale Johnson City offer to enrich residents' well-being?
We work to cover six dimensions of an Optimum Life with our programming for residents: Purposeful, Emotional, Physical, Spiritual, Social, and Intellectual. This approach is unique to Brookdale! Our residents love morning B-Fit exercise, Acts of Kindness and service projects, social gatherings and celebrations – always with music and delicious refreshments, monthly Health Chats, challenging games and puzzles, and weekly devotionals and church services. At the beginning of our relationship with a new resident, we ask questions so we can learn about what they love to do and what helps them feel purposeful and connected. With this, we’re always excited to add or adapt programs and events because chances are, if it’s something a new resident loves, others will too!
What transportation services does Brookdale Johnson City offer to assisted living residents?
We provide busing services to and from shopping centers, restaurants, scenic drives, museums, public function and gatherings, and for medical appointments.
