While they couldn't be here in person, The "League Of Women Voters and Brookdale Oceanside got creative and held a California Proposition and Oceanside Measure Zoom presentation in our family room. Our tech-savvy residents were able to watch from their rooms, while other residents were able to come to the family room to discuss the various California propositions on the ballot this November. Our socially distanced residents were also able to ask specific questions regarding the various propositions and Oceanside measures, so they can be better informed.

These self-care tips may help!

While this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s events will be different, they continue to be deeply meaningful.

Brookdale Senior Living Inc. continues to be one of the largest corporate supporters of the Walk to End Alzheimer’s. This year, thousands of Brookdale associates, residents, and patients are participating in or supporting virtual walks across the country. http://bkd.co/6189TQ51t
