Dear Brookdale Friends and Neighbors,

Lifelong Learning at Brookdale serves an impressive Monmouth County population – one that is growing older…and wiser!

Did you know that nearly 40% of our population is over age 50? Monmouth County is 4th of the 21 counties in New Jersey in this age category.

More than 40% of our residents over 45 have earned a bachelor’s degree, or beyond. Research suggests that the more education a person has in their past, the more likely they are to pursue education in their future. So it’s no wonder Lifelong Learning serves an education-hungry population!

Feed that appetite for learning and indulge yourself this New Year.

• Learn something new

• Go someplace new

• Taste something new

• Make something new

Wishing you a smart New Year,

Marie Lucier-Woodruff, Dean
