Clare Bridge of Salem

Clare Bridge is a Brookdale Senior Living community dedicated to serving the special care needs of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. From our building design to our carefully selected staff and specialized programming and management, we focus on the individual needs of each resident and family we serve.

Highly Individualized Care

Maintaining familiar daily routines is important for our Alzheimer's, dementia and memory care residents. Physical and behavioral needs, as well as life history each play integral roles. Each resident receives and individualized service plan designed to meet their unique needs and to help them feel safe while adding meaning to their day.

Individuals working with Alzheimer's and dementia residents must have compassion and understanding. Our staff are carefully selected and trained to manage the challenges associated with dementia, which can sometimes be difficult. The Clare Bridge Daily Path provides a gentle structure to each day that targets specific needs of those with Alzheimer's and various types and levels of dementia. It features...

• Morning Mental Workout - Daily late morning mental exercises including discussions, brain stimulating games, and reminiscing.
• Daily Physical Activity - A variety of exercise opportunities including group exercises, walking programs and dancing.
• Daily Life Skills - Individual or group activities that provide a sense of purpose, meaning, and belonging.
• Person Centered Life Enrichment Programming - Activities are designed using the resident's own social history information as a foundation.

Familiarity in Daily Living

Our Clare Bridge community features peaceful surroundings and a home-like setting designed to re-create environments people have enjoyed throughout their lives. Interior spaces are scaled and decorated like those of a private home and enclosed walking areas give residents the opportunity to safely explore their surroundings.

The Clare Bridge Dining Program, recognized as "Best of the Best" in the industry by the Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA) is a unique program designed by a team of specialists to help those with Alzheimer's and dementia master and enjoy successful dining experiences. It offers dementia-friendly menus, individualized dining assistance, a supportive environment and consistent seating arrangements.
