About Brookdale Torbett
Brookdale Torbett is a dedicated memory care community in Richland, WA, offering Brookdale's signature Clare Bridge program for those living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. The small, dual-wing setting — with 48 licensed beds — is designed to feel home-like, with secured common areas, enclosed outdoor spaces, and visual cues that help residents navigate their surroundings with confidence. Families exploring this path will find a structured daily rhythm of six planned programs, compassionate 24-hour care, and a team that includes licensed nurses, on-call physicians, and therapy professionals.
Our Care Approach
Care here is shaped by Brookdale's Clare Bridge framework, which structures each day around six planned programs designed to provide gentle routine and purpose. The Solace program serves residents in more advanced stages of dementia, weaving in sensory experiences, music, and aromatherapy alongside additional grooming support. Licensed nurses manage medications and coordinate with visiting specialists, while 24-hour caregivers assist with all daily living needs.
Family Experience
Families often describe the admission process as one of the more personal they encountered — with staff taking time to understand individual needs before placement. Over time, those with long-tenured loved ones speak to a consistency of care and a management team that remains accessible. Families navigating more difficult experiences have noted the importance of staying actively engaged and asking direct questions about staffing and programming during regular visits.

Our experience was short at Brookdale Torbett, but Pleasant . I found the staff to have good relations with the residents and truly cared for them. The staff was kind to us as well when mom passed, and that meant a lot.

My dads need for memory care was rather sudden and we were not prepared. We visited several other sites but they just showed us the facility and left us feeling like they were a poor choice. In our first meeting with the staff at Brookdale Torbett they took the time to evaluate our needs and situation. Nathan from their staff went to the hospital to evaluate dad and see if Torbett was a good fit. It's now been about 6 months and we could not be more sure that we made the right decision. We appreciate the care that they are giving my dad. If you're looking for a memory care facility you really should give them a visit.
Families love this community. See if it’s the right fit for you.
