Meet Hank! At Brookdale Foundation House, breakfast is one of the simple pleasures that makes life good for him. French toast, eggs, good company, and a glass of orange juice with no pulp — just right!

With a dad who was a chef, Hank knows a thing or two about a good breakfast. And it sounds like Brookdale is getting it right, down to his favorite juice!

As Hank looks forward to celebrating his 105th birthday, we’re happy to share in the little things that make each day special.

You're looking great Hank, thank you for your service. 🇺🇸

Let Creativity Flow at Brookdale Foundation House.

There are so many ways to create art, from crafts and puzzles to music, writing and painting.

Creativity can be a way to express yourself, try something new, share a talent, or simply enjoy the process of making something with your own hands.

And just look at what our residents created during our latest arts and crafts class!

Ideas turned into colors, textures and one-of-a-kind creations. This is what happens when you give creativity a little room to play.

Create. Explore. Make something beautiful. Join Us.

Welcome, Floy!

We’re delighted to welcome Floy to Brookdale Foundation House and share a glimpse into her story.

For Floy, art is woven into life. Born during the Great Depression, she learned from her mother that even in difficult times, there was always beauty to be created. Her mother had a gift for using her hands to create beauty wherever they lived. That creative spirit stayed with Floy.

Art became part of her family’s story. Her brother was a talented artist, and Floy jokes, “I got the leftovers!”

But perhaps her greatest creation has been a life filled with family. As a mother, she has found joy in watching her family grow through the generations. Her family, her faith, and the beauty she sees around her continue to inspire her.

Floy shares that she has lived long enough to do many things, and along the way she’s learned to find beauty and create beauty.

Welcome to Brookdale Foundation House, Floy. We’re so glad you’re here!

We’re celebrating Willie and 18 years of making a difference one drive at a time!

For 18 years, Willie has been behind the wheel of our community bus, helping residents get where they need to go—from shopping trips and appointments to church and everything in between.

But for Willie, it’s about more than getting from one place to another. He especially enjoys the scenic drives with residents, taking in the views and enjoying the journey together.

As Willie says, "There’s a lot of beauty to see, and I’m happy to see it with them."

Thank you, Willie, for 18 years of driving with care, creating connections along the way, and helping our residents experience all that’s out there. Here’s to many more miles!
