New Tech-Enabled Rehab Program Designed to Improve Recovery Experience for People Living with Dementia


OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Sept. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Brookdale Senior Living is taking a new approach to providing skilled nursing and rehabilitation for people living with Alzheimer's and other dementias. A first of its kind in the nation to incorporate specific technology devices, this new dementia-friendly environment at Brookdale Overland Park features tech-enabled programs and trained clinicians focused on delivering person-centered, skilled nursing care and rehabilitation.

"This is a unique skilled care and rehabilitation program, offering so much more than just a secured, skilled dementia care environment," said Juliet Holt Klinger, Brookdale's dementia care expert. "Everything about this new space is designed to improve outcomes for people living with dementia. From our specially trained clinicians to state-of-the-art, evidence-based engagement technology we have in place, our focus is on improving function and promoting well-being. We have created a truly new concept for skilled nursing and rehabilitation based on our decades-old foundation of providing person-centered care for people living with Alzheimer's and dementia."

Recent renovations include the addition of a specially designed therapy space and updated resident suites. Each suite features SafelyYou, a technology-enabled care program proven to reduce falls. Select suites include cushioned flooring from Ecore, which is designed to prevent injury when falls do occur.
