Unique in its Optimum Life® culture, Brookdale Senior Living is the leading provider of senior living communities in the nation.

Through the six dimensions of wellness, opportunities are provided for residents to choose a healthy lifestyle that adds value and fulfillment to their lives.
The Red Hat Society, a leading worldwide organization empowering women to have fun, strengthen their community and unite those that are passionate and like-minded and believe in the joys of sisterhood at any age, will represent another opportunity for residents to embrace all dimensions of Optimum Life. The Red Hat Society empowers women of all ages to celebrate sisterhood, embrace life and live it to the fullest.

"By teaming up with the Red Hat Society and bringing their unique programs to our communities, we are both achieving this mission of fun and celebration for our residents."
‘Brookdale’s dedication to celebrating life blends beautifully with the philosophy of the Red Hat Society," says Red Hat Society CEO Debra Granich. "We are an organization empowering women to enjoy every moment of life together and we are very excited to welcome new members from the Brookdale communities to share the journey."
