Residents live in private apartments filled with natural light, and a supportive staff member is available 24/7 to respond to emergencies.

The assisted living program is built around personalized support, helping residents with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing and managing medications while balancing independence with assistance delivered with compassion and respect. The memory care program, Clare Bridge, offers a gentle, structured daily rhythm to help residents living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia feel secure through familiar routines, personalized to their interests and strengths, with added comfort from calming sensory experiences like music, pet visits and soothing scents. Families can also stay connected through a virtual scrapbook that shares life updates and milestones from afar.

Dining is tailored to residents' preferences, with a culinary team incorporating favorite recipes, dietary needs and Optimum Life cuisine made with whole grains, lean proteins and fresh ingredients. In memory care, Clare Bridge dining creates a calm, familiar setting with dementia-friendly menus, simple table settings, soft lighting and purposeful routines like folding napkins or setting the table, along with Signature Seasonings to enhance flavor without added sodium.

ABSOLUTELY DO NOT PUT YOUR LOVED ONE INTO BROOKDALE SHADOWLAKE...unless you want unprofessional, dishonest, and never ending increases of your care plan price!! Majority of the care staff do not care about their job and would rather be on their phones and have no clue how to professionally communicate, they are untrained and many do not show up to work or come in late,. Fees increase frequently with "assessments", management would rather push incidences under the rug or cover than properly address with staff. I have been told numerous times "if you don't come as much you won't see the issues." Activity calendar is an illusion of what "happens" with the weekends being the worse. 200% please do not put your loved on at Shadowlake .... there are much more amazing communities out there, even really close to Shadowlake!!! Don't fall for the illusion that they present you when you tour! This location is OVERPRICED for the "care" you actually receive.
