Brookdale Painted Post

Resident at Brookdale Painted Post vary in age, but most are in their 80s-90s. Our Resident Programs Manager, Sarah (7 yrs on our team), created the Gardening Club that transformed the courtyard into a resource for fresh veggies used in Chef Pam's recipes. The Veteran's Chatterbox Club (Saturdays at 2pm) gives vets an chance to share war stories, enjoy camaraderie, have a beer and share experiences to feel a sense of community. Sarah asks for new recipes during monthly cooking club which are tested out and the resident gets to decide if we made the grade!
