Brookdale Macon, formerly Emeritus at Flint River, is a Macon, Georgia Alzheimer’s and Memory Caremunity for seniors. We are in the heart of Macon, Georgia and just five miles from all three major highways. We are just a short drive from historic downtown where our residents enjoy our weekly rambling rides to view these antebellum style homes. We are conveniently located near Macon’s main entertaining attractions including three community theaters, four museums and the Grand Opera House. Brookdale Macon is less than a mile away from the Northside Coliseum Hospital, one of Macon’s leading Hospitals in geriatric care, and just a short distance from several rehabilitation and skilled nursing centers if ever needed.
Set on a lovely landscaped grounds with three secured courtyards, beautiful plants and walking pathways Brookdale Macon is the elite memory care community. Our community is designed to have cozy spaces and homelike environments so our residents feel safe and not overwhelmed while still providing long hallways for walking and open windows for natural sunlight.
Brookdale Macon works with many agencies in our area to be a resource for our community. We partner with our local hospitals, case workers, local hospices, home health agencies and the Alzheimer’s Association. We have had many educational meetings with all of these agencies to share our concerns and raise awareness in our local area.
Brookdale Macon has a stable staff with years of longevity. We feel this is key to giving excellent care because of the experience they have gained. Our staff is like family so it is easy to say “Our Family is Committed to Yours.” Our management staff has decades of experience in the geriatric field and working with seniors with memory loss is our passion.
