What Our Families Say

The Norwalk Bridges is warm and welcoming to both residents and family members! What I appreciate most about Bridges is the respect given to residents from all staff members. Residents are treated with dignity regardless of their current condition.

I enjoy participating in activities with mom and am always welcomed whenever I show up. I have learned so much from the staff about how to interact with my mother as her dementia progresses. I model approaches from staff members to engage and re-engage mom for more meaningful visits.

My mother is so much more than just a resident. When I visit staff members take the time to share how mom is doing today or an activity that she particularly enjoyed; they know her and know how to relate to her as an individual.

The director is very responsive. If I have an issue, concern, question, I email and get a response the same day. I know from experience that issues or concerns I have shared have been addressed. Rather than defending ‘her institution’ she consistently tries to make it better.

I wish mom did not need Bridges, but I am glad and grateful that she can be there.

My father has been well-cared for by Bridges staff since day one. The staff members are always friendly and welcoming. The building is spotless! Meals are a community affair with great help from the kitchen staff and servers. Recreation activities are fun and engaging and Dad is always encouraged to join in. The nursing staff is attentive, professional and deliver impeccable care. Dad feels safe, comfortable and is always cared for with kindness! The maintenance team keeps everything running and the grounds immaculate. The whole place is bright and cheerful! Everyone I meet is so patient with each resident and the staff know the needs, likes and quirks of all who call Bridges home. Thank you all.

I have worked closely with this assisted living facility in a business capacity for quite some time now. Attention to detail is paramount in providing optimal care for residents with dementia. Bridges by EPOCH exceeds this with flying colors. They provide countless activities to improve the body, mind and soul. They also have individualized care within a safe and controlled environment. It would be a shame to pass this building up when looking for a new home for your loved ones!!

With the efficient and caring staff at Bridges Norwalk, my clients, a husband and wife, enjoyed the smoothest transition to facility living that I have seen in my ten years as an elder care specialist. The Bridges staff worked tirelessly and quickly to set up my clients’ room to make it as comfortable and welcoming as possible. When my clients arrived, the director spent the entire afternoon with them to make them feel at home. My clients have moved nearly seamlessly into their new life at Bridges Norwalk. I continue to be impressed with the exceptional care my clients are receiving.

Bridges Norwalk has been an excellent resource for the community. They have opened their doors and services to those in need of information and support related to memory loss and care. I have attended for a year the information sessions as well as webinars to support me in the care of my parents at home. Expressions of caring were also shown in activities that those outside of Bridges could attend. They were enjoyable and appreciated.

The staff has displaced genuine care for their clients as caretakers in the community of Norwalk and surrounding areas.

I have been at and have seen many senior communities throughout Fairfield County. A nice new building is only as good as the staff, activities, food, and overall attention to resident engagement. Bridges by Epoch at Norwalk seamlessly executes all of the residents’ and families’ concerns with top-notch services in all categories. If you or a loved one is thinking about senior community living Bridge by EPOCH at Norwalk should be at the top on your list.
