Overview of Brookdale Alderwood

Brookdale Alderwood is a memory care community in Lynnwood, WA, with a secured setting and supervision for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. It may be a good fit for someone who needs supervised care in a secured setting, including a resident whose usual caregiver needs short term support through respite care.

The community has 60 beds and offers studio housing, so each resident has a single private living space. Daily activities include bingo, trivia, nature walks, and gardening, with the courtyard and garden providing outdoor areas for these activities; dementia friendly menus offer familiar, easy to manage selections, and personal dining assistance is available when needed.

A salon and spa allows residents to receive grooming services on site, and pets are allowed. Memory care starts at $5,995 per month, giving families a baseline for budgeting a stay, and Medicaid is accepted for families whose savings may not cover a long term stay. A Walk Score of 65 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may have some opportunities to get out independently.
