A visit to Brookdale’s communities reveals a tapestry of individuals who come from many walks of life-some have been homemakers, business executives, artists, pilots, school teachers and military professionals to name a few. Each has an amazing story to tell about their life so far.
As amazing as their histories are, our residents stories don’t end when they grace our doors. Quite the contrary, in many ways they are just beginning. Many a resident has expressed to us the new life they have found in their community and wish they had made the move sooner.
Take the case of Alfred Bouey, the recipient of the Experiences of a Lifetime award. New to his community, Mr. Bouey said he felt that the best times of his life were behind him.
But when he was granted his wish to see the inauguration of President Barack Obama-he had a new perspective and said “don’t let anyone tell you dreams don’t come true at 84-I have a whole new lease on life”. Even his doctor noted that Mr. Bouey’s health seemed greatly improved.
Whether they are granted a big wish, or just make new friends and find new interests, Brookdale’s residents all have the opportunity to dream new dreams, dare to make them come true and discover a rich new life through our Optimum Life® culture and award winning Celebrations program.
