The goal is to help each person thrive in a compassionate setting, where dignity and comfort are always a priority.
A signature aspect of care at Brookdale Camino del Sol is the Clare Bridge program, which has been specifically developed for the mid to late stages of dementia. Building on decades of expertise, the Clare Bridge philosophy centers around purposeful engagement and predictability to create a sense of security and well-being for residents.

Life at Brookdale Camino del Sol is further enhanced by thoughtfully designed environments and amenities that create a supportive atmosphere for individuals facing cognitive challenges. Features include a community kitchen, piano, community concourse, living room, private dining room, apartment bedrooms, salon, patio, and courtyard. These inviting spaces encourage socialization and the pursuit of familiar routines, while providing the right level of supervision and support. Residents can bring their own personality and preferences into their private apartments, making each space their own.
In addition to memory care, everyday living is made easier and more enjoyable thanks to the inclusion of dining and housekeeping services within the base rental rate. For added flexibility, semi-private rooms are available at a lower cost, allowing residents and their families to choose the option that best fits their needs. Meals are prepared and served in a communal setting, encouraging interaction and nutrition, while housekeeping keeps each apartment comfortable and welcoming. The Personal Solutions program adds another layer of convenience, allowing residents or their families to purchase personal care and household items—such as toothpaste, mouthwash, hearing aid batteries, and hygiene products—delivered directly to their door in discreet packaging. Orders can be made for recurring monthly shipments or simply as needed, simplifying daily life and reducing the need for out-of-community errands.
