Brookdale Clarksville, an Alzheimer’s & Dementia Care facility, takes a unique approach to client care by partnering with other providers in the area in an effort to best serve the community. Marie Eppes says networking is the key to their success. “This event is called Friendship Friday,” Eppes said. “We’ve had about twenty-five people come and go today, it’s a drop in event from 2 – 4p.m. We host these networking events for all the senior healthcare partners in the area. We have plenty of resources in this community but it’s important when a family comes to us that we are able to connect them to the right provider.” “We’re exclusively memory care, but we have partnerships with home healthcare, hospice, skilled nursing and sitter companies. Today, we have O’Neal Wiggins with us. He owns a medical transport business. We also have medical suppliers here. These events are open to anyone who helps us better serve seniors.”
