The vision of Brookside Inn has been created by the ownership and has been incorporated into every department within the community. In order to support an individual’s personal wellbeing, Brookside Inn offers a broad range of activities and community involvement. Ownership and department managers participate in activities such as dances, casino night, and other large events. All departments help support these events, from the catering productions of the dietary department to physical therapists dancing with the residents.

Brookside Inn is committed to making our community the home of the residents. As such, we feel it is important that our residents have choices. Choices in what to eat. Choices in when to get up. Choices in what activities they want to participate. Choices in the level of involvement they want to have within and outside of the community. As we journey this path of life and living, it is important to have the input from the residents, and the direct care givers in regards to how we can best meet the individual choices of each resident.

Here is some of what we are doing to put our philosophy into action to meet not only our resident’s physical needs, but their spiritual and emotional needs as well.
