At Brookdale Wilmington, a range of specialized memory care programs is offered. Chief among these is the Clare Bridge program, an exclusive memory care brand developed more than 30 years ago, which emphasizes relationship-rich care and consistent care assignments whenever possible. This familiarity encourages trust and helps staff better anticipate the needs of residents while supporting their well-being and minimizing behavioral symptoms. For residents in the later stages of dementia, the community offers Clare Bridge Solace, which is tailored to the unique challenges faced as dementia progresses. These programs are deeply rooted in specialized, person-focused methods, ensuring that care techniques are adapted to what works best for each resident.
