Brookside Healthcare Center

Who We Are

Founder and Chairman of the Board Stephen L. Rosedale established the CommuniCare Family of Companies in 1984. As a young man, Steve worked in various healthcare environments and developed a passion for caring. He continued to study the art and science of aging at Brandeis University, where he sparked a close relationship with Professor Morrie Schwartz (of the famous book, Tuesdays with Morrie).

A concept that struck a chord in his heart and has since remained vibrant is the concept of therapeutic milieu.This is the impact of a holistic environment, comprised of people, clinical programs, and physical environments that create a healing environment where a person can thrive. Since then, Steve has been on a mission to build caring communities that cater to the unspoken needs of our guests and residents.

A family-owned company, we have grown to become one of the nation’s largest providers of post-acute care, which includes skilled nursing rehabilitation centers, long-term care centers, assisted living communities, independent rehabilitation centers and long-term acute care hospitals (LTACH).

Each one of our employees primary importance stems from our philosophy: Serving with Pride. We recognize that we are called to reach out with our hearts and touch the lives of others. This recognition instills a great sense of purpose in the work we do each day. As a result, we take immense pride in our opportunity to deliver the highest quality of care. We remind ourselves daily that we have to serve with pride and this energizes us in our mission to, to give the gift of life to each and every guest and resident of the CommuniCare Family of Companies.

Assisted Living Communities at CommuniCare For older adults, aging is a time of decreased functioning and increased dependence. But as with all individuals, their needs are unique. For some, a skilled nursing center would provide more healthcare than necessary. On the other hand, living on one’s own may be too difficult. CommuniCare can help. Our assisted living communities provide a combination of housing, personal care services, nursing and healthcare, all in a supportive living community that promotes maximum independence, privacy and choice for residents who prefer not to live alone, but who don't require 24-hour care. Our assisted living and semi assisted living environment are designed to be welcoming and home-like, while supporting the physical, emotional and intellectual needs of our residents. Choices begin with assisted living accommodations designed for those who prefer privacy, as well as those who don't care to live alone. When available, we have conveniently located our assisted living communities on the same campus as our nursing centers, enabling residents to easily access physical therapy programs, as well as occupational and speech therapy, if it needs to arise. As requirements change and long-term, assisted senior care concerns need to be addressed, our center represents a natural transition within a familiar environment.
