Brookdale HealthPlus Earns ''Best of the Best'' Argentum Award

Brookdale Senior Living’s care coordination model Brookdale HealthPlus® has won a 2024 Argentum Best of the Best Award. The Argentum Best of the Best Awards recognize innovative programs, products and services that solve a particular challenge or advance excellence in senior living.

Brookdale HealthPlus works to help improve residents’ quality of life and prevent avoidable emergency room visits or hospitalizations in partnership with their family and healthcare providers. The program helps residents and families navigate complex health systems, delivering value-based care.

“We are deeply humbled and immensely grateful for this recognition. At Brookdale, the health and wellbeing of our residents is our priority,” Brookdale President and Chief Executive Officer Lucinda “Cindy” Baier said. “By focusing on preventative care, effective management of chronic conditions, and coordination of urgent care needs, Brookdale HealthPlus helps to improve overall health outcomes and promote a better quality of life for our residents.”

An independent third-party confirmed Brookdale HealthPlus residents experienced 78 percent fewer urgent care visits, 36 percent fewer hospitalizations, and completed 65 percent more annual wellness visits compared to seniors living in other senior living communities or living independently.*

“In an industry where the boundaries between assisted living and healthcare have often been blurred, Brookdale stands at the forefront, championing coordination of services, convenience, and tailored care for seniors,” Brookdale Senior Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer Kim Elliott said.

Brookdale HealthPlus recently expanded into more Brookdale communities to help more residents benefit from personalized and coordinated care.
