Impact on society – Community

To be truly sustainable at Brookdale, we create caring, healthy and supportive environments for our residents and their families, both now and for generations to come. This is one reason why our residents and associates are so active in our surrounding communities. In 2022, our residents, families and associates embraced many outreach opportunities, including raising money for causes important to them, giving their time to help those in need, producing needed items for ICU babies and children in war-torn countries across the world, planning and planting gardens for sustainability, and joining intergenerational programs with youth and college groups.

Brookdale also continued to be a leader in fundraising to fight Alzheimer’s disease. During 2022, Brookdale maintained its commitment to supporting those seeking a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, raising $1.3 million** for Walk to End Alzheimer’s® as a National Team, comprising Brookdale residents and associates around the country. We are proud to have raised more than $20 million for the Walk to End® program since 2008.
