Community Damage

We are still assessing the full extent of property damage and outages in the area around Brookdale Shawnee. Once the community can be fully assessed, we will implement a plan for construction to repair damages.

Until then, residents will remain in their temporary accommodations. The Brookdale Shawnee team will keep residents and families updated along the way.

As always, our primary goal is to help ensure the ongoing safety of our residents and associates. Our teams, along with support from our district and corporate levels, are monitoring the situation and are focused on supporting residents and associates in their temporary accommodations.
