My father has been at the Bridges since August of last year – about seven months now. A retired Lt Col, he values places that are well-run. This place meets that bar.
Our family has gotten endless support from the staff here. It is clean and pleasantly decorated, and everything is in good repair. The food is good enough, and the patients have access to lots of activities both on-site and off. There are two large outdoor gardens and even a barber shop/beauty salon.
My father’s doctors have been able to come and go with no problems, and he’s been able to have friends visit regularly and easily. They can even stay and have meals with him.
I have never seen or heard of a staff member being angry, or even be grouchy. They constantly do small, nice things for their patients and appear to be genuinely compassionate. They are not exhausted to the point of not caring, which I have heard a lot about with some of my friends’ parents in other types of facilities like this. My father’s primary nurse sends us email updates about how he’s doing.
We are deeply grateful to have a place like this, especially because it is so incredibly close. Seven months in, my father still says without hesitation that he is well-cared for here.
