“One” is a powerful number. It represents unity – a singular dedication to a goal or purpose. It represents a beginning – the first step in a journey, for example. The number one has many references throughout our culture and society. We talk about how it takes just one person to make a difference, or just one brick to build something and so much more. Which is why at Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee, our unique approach to Alzheimer’s and dementia care focuses on and embraces the power of ONE.
“Our approach to care allows everyone at Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee to focus on what’s most important: our residents and their quality of life,” says Nat Grim, Executive Director of Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee.“ As a memory care assisted living community, we understand how essential it is to focus on the whole person. By focusing on this, we’re able to provide a joyful, meaningful life for each and every resident who walks through our doors.”
Here are just some of the ways we embrace the “Power of ONE” at Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee.
ONE Community to provide the highest quality dementia care, family support and education through all stages of memory loss.
At Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee, we have ONE overarching goal: to anticipate, meet and exceed the needs and desires of our memory care residents and their families. We accomplish that through our exceptional care and services, our team of remarkable people, our community outreach programs and services, our purposefully designed buildings, our wellness-centered lifestyle and so much more. Everything we do, everything we offer and everything we are combines to create the most secure, rewarding and nurturing lifestyle for the residents who call Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee their home.
For our residents, we offer the highest quality dementia care through our memory care approach which focuses on reinforcing individual strengths, raising up abilities and skills that remain and providing purpose so our residents can thrive, build self-esteem and rediscover a life with purpose.
We also understand that the best dementia care involves the families and loved ones as well. Besides providing security, support and assistance that gives families peace of mind, we also offer a variety of community outreach programs and services. We believe no one should have to face the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and memory loss alone, so we provide complimentary caregiver education seminars and support groups that are open to family members of our residents, individuals who are caring for loved ones at home and the community at large. Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee also has a staff of caring experts who are available to answer questions, explain resources and care options and connect you or your family with trusted senior service providers.
Finally, we believe that as a community, we should be ONE home and family for our residents with memory loss. Because memory care is all we do, we’re able to adapt our services to the unique challenges and individual needs of each resident, no matter what stage of memory loss they are in or are entering. Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee can and will continue to provide ONE loving home, thanks to our age in place philosophy. This allows residents to remain in the care of people they’ve grown to trust, know and love.
ONE Team of compassionate dementia care and behavior experts.
Our devoted staff works as ONE to embrace our residents as beloved family to provide positive, safe, comfortable and engaging care. Everyone on our team receives specialized, ongoing training on best care practices for Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and other forms of memory loss. This allows us to create a wellness-focused lifestyle for each resident that promotes dignity and individual preferences in a safe, secure and calm environment.
ONE Promise to create moments of joy, purpose and peace for every resident, every day.
Our mission is to build BRIDGES® that cross the gaps left by memory loss in order to allow our residents to thrive, and rediscover life with a purpose. We view the memory loss journey as an opportunity to create meaningful moments and help our residents live as independently as possible. We provide compassion, security and comfort to our residents, and reassure families that loved ones are in the very best, caring hands. Massage, music, art, tactile, aroma and pet therapies are just a few of the tools we use to spark fond memories for individuals living with early- and mid-stage memory loss – and feelings of happiness and peace for every resident, no matter what stage of memory loss they may be in.
ONE Customized plan for each resident that exercises their strengths and keeps them healthy, active and socially engaged.
When we welcome a new resident to our community, we work together to create a personalized care plan that’s designed to address possible behavioral issues, improve communication and, most importantly, help the resident engage in a meaningful, joyful life. We also work with family members to gain a deeper understanding and insight into the resident’s life, which helps us plan programming and social opportunities.
ONE All-Inclusive Rate for easy, predictable planning.
