If you’re seeking more than just a place to live, then Brookdale Harrisonburg is the place for you, because, here, we offer a place to live well. Retirement is the time to indulge yourself, to live purposefully and re-ignite some of those passions that got left by the wayside throughout the years. At our community, which offers both assisted living and memory care, you can savor the beauty of the majestic Shenandoah Valley while remaining convenient to the attractions of the Richmond, Charlottesville, Roanoke and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas. As an assisted living resident, you can stay wonderfully independent and active while receiving the daily personal assistance you need. Should your needs change over time, and you require memory care, you have the security of knowing you can remain here, in your home, without leaving familiar surroundings and close friendships. And you have peace of mind knowing our staff is on-site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. At Brookdale Harrisonburg, we offer tailored activities, interest groups and social gatherings to stimulate the mind, body and soul. Begin your day with positive reinforcement thinking, a morning dialogue or a morning stretch and flex exercise group. Fill the rest of the days with arts & crafts, live music, mix-and-mingle socials, sing-alongs, current events and board games. We love planning off-site trips to the Blue Ridge Parkway for picnics, Harrisonburg’s Quilt Museum, an ice cream social at Bruster’s or an evening meal out at one of our local restaurants. When you want to venture out and don’t want to drive, we are conveniently located on the Harrisonburg Transit Authority bus line. Our memory care residents engage in such activities as beach ball volleyball, chair swimming, painting, singing, movie nights or playing trivia games. Maybe you’ll find them getting coffee with a friend, participating in reminiscing chats or attending mix-and-mingle socials. They’re having fun, yes. But each of these activities is part of a carefully structured care program to help our residents live their best life, even when dementia is advanced.… Read more
