Develop Lasting Relationships
Retirement is a time for senior adults to embrace all that life has to offer, and our community is the perfect place to do this. Brookdale University Park in Homewood provides an engaging social life that will pull your loved one away from the television and encourage them to pursue real relationships. Whether it’s laughing with friends at our bridge luncheons or chatting with their favorite nurse, your loved one will be filled with quality interactions – the kind that leave a lasting smile. Our residents bond over mutual interests and common experiences, such as their career fields, college days or time in military service.
Our community thrives on friendship and “community.” We are absolutely delighted when we have a senior and their family visiting and considering a move to Brookdale and they run into an old friend-maybe one they haven’t seen in years! To see that fear and apprehension melt away after a reassuring hug from a friend is why I believe we all work in this business. It is a true joy for each of our associates to play a small role in enriching lives on a daily basis.

Experience the Community
Brookdale University Park was a recent sponsor of Samford University Legacy League’s 2019 Scholarship Luncheon featuring best-selling author Jodie Berndt. This event was held at the Vestavia Country Club on Thursday, February 7 with the purpose of raising money to provide life changing scholarships to deserving students with significant financial need. With such a large number of Samford Alumni who live at Brookdale, this is just one of many events in which our residents can participate in on campus as well as off-site outings.
Brookdale is a supporter of multigenerational activities and events, providing opportunities for our residents to engage with people of all age groups. For example, we regularly have groups of college students who do both observations as well as service projects at Brookdale. In addition, we schedule younger groups to come in and perform and visit with our residents such as scouts, church groups, and countless grandchildren! We hope you will visit our beautiful community soon- whether it is to attend one of our events, Lunch and Learns, or a personal visit. You may even run into an old friend!
