Brookdale Recognizes Nurses During National Nurses Week

About Brookdale Senior Living

Brookdale Senior Living offers multiple care levels for seniors in more than 600 communities nationwide. Brookdale helps you find the right care plan for yourself or your loved one. With amenities such as transportation services, salons and private dining rooms and activities such as gardening, fitness classes and trivia nights Brookdale caters to a wide range of interests and needs.

Whether it’s providing direct care, dealing with emergencies, or leading clinical teams, nurses perform in difficult situations and provide meaningful services. This National Nurses Week, Brookdale Senior Living honors our nurses who impact the lives of our seniors and their families every day.

National Nurses Week celebrates the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice nurses make. Nurses are essential members of the larger healthcare infrastructure and are there for others, sometimes in their most vulnerable moments. National Nurses Week offers a chance for us to highlight and celebrate nurses across the country, and across our company for everything they do.

A Message from Kim Elliott, Senior Vice President, Chief Nursing Officer:

Nursing is often considered the noblest profession, and I am proud to be included in the classification. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to make an impact on the lives of seniors. I am in constant awe of our Brookdale nurses. The compassion, integrity, selflessness, and empathy we see among our nurses is amazing.

A Message from Camille Jordan, Senior Vice President of Clinical Services:

This week, we plan to highlight some of our amazing nurses who help make Brookdale the premiere choice for senior living. We hope their stories of determination and dedication to others will be an inspiration for the next generation of nurses.
