A Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) helps you plan for today and tomorrow. By offering multiple levels of care in one place, a CCRC makes it easier to adapt your support as your needs evolve — within the same welcoming community. Learn more on our website.

CCRCs offer a unique feature called a continuum of care, which means you can easily transition among levels of care if you need a little extra help in the future.

"Everyone Has a Story" Spotlight #2: Secret Missions and Heroism with Bill!

Our new resident spotlight series, "Everyone Has a Story," continued on September 3rd, and it was an afternoon we will never forget!
For our second presentation, we had the immense honor of hearing from Bill, a decorated World War II Army Air Corps veteran. Bill captivated the room by pulling back the curtain on his top-secret wartime service as a "Carpetbagger."
Under the cover of night, Bill and his crew flew specially modified, blacked-out B-24 bombers on clandestine missions deep behind enemy lines in occupied Europe. Dropping critical supplies, weapons, and secret agents to aid the French Resistance, Bill's courage and precision helped pave the way for freedom.

Our residents and team sat on the edge of their seats as Bill shared his firsthand memories of navigating pitch-black skies, keeping these missions sworn to secrecy, and the unbreakable bonds forged among his crew.
Bill, thank you for your bravery, your service to our country, and for sharing a living piece of history with your Brookdale Sunwest family!
Stay tuned to see who will be sharing their story with us next! 💛

💛 Everyone Has a Story at Brookdale Sunwest! 💛

We’re excited to launch our new “Everyone Has a Story” series, celebrating the memories, experiences, and treasures that make each resident unique.

Our first spotlight features Agnes, who shared a treasured piece of petrified tree root passed down from her father and discovered in Pennsylvania. 🌳 This incredible piece of history is approximately 300–320 million years old—long before the dinosaurs!

Thank you, Agnes, for sharing your family’s amazing story and helping us begin this wonderful tradition! 💛 Every resident has a story worth sharing!
