Overview of Brooke Grove Retirement Village
ASSISTED LIVING AT BROOKEGROVE
NURTURING FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, OF CHOICE, OF SELF-DISCOVERY
Nothing says “home” like a beloved pet greeting you … the aroma of baking brownies … the sound of a child laughing … and the many other comforting touches you’ll find in The Meadows and The Woods assisted living residences at Brooke Grove Retirement Village . Here, on a pastoral retreat in a convenient Montgomery County, Maryland, location, skilled assistance blends seamlessly with the welcome feeling of home.
… BECAUSE WHAT SURROUNDS YOU REALLY MATTERS.
AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO ASSISTED LIVING
Specifically designed for assisted living or memory support, each residential-style dwelling is home to only 16 residents. Over-sized windows and skylights allow natural light to warm and brighten each room. Community members gather in family rooms with fireplaces and pianos, game and craft rooms, intimate dining rooms and sunny decks.
Everything at Brooke Grove is intentionally designed to enhance lives. We do this through LIFE ® principles and programming we’ve developed to create the cheerful atmosphere, opportunities for individual discovery, partnership with families and enriching experiences that set us apart.
At Brooke Grove, safety and security are paramount but not confining. With easy access to large courtyards, residents move freely inside and out, visiting our neighborhood homes, strolling winding paths, and enjoying our peaceful wooded setting. An ornamental Koi pond, flower and sensory gardens, and a playground for visiting children charm and entertain.
Those who live here continue to grow and learn, to participate in lifelong hobbies and explore new ones, to love and care for one another, and to feel a sense of purpose with each new day.

Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
