What Our Families Say
We could fill several websites telling you about our supportive, purpose-built design, personalized life-enrichment programs, and exceptional care and services … but, while remarkable and unique, those are merely the ingredients we use to create the real magic of Bridges® – the magic that is shown on the faces of our residents and felt in the hearts of their families.

FUN ACTIVITIES & DEAR FRIENDS
My family and I visited many facilities while looking for a home for our mom. They all looked and felt like facilities. When we walked into Bridges, we knew we had found her new home. Our Mom was one the first residents to enter the Andover Bridges when it opened in August of 2018.
I cannot say enough about the staff! They are so kind and compassionate, we know our mom is very well taken care of and happy. When we visit, the staff make us feel welcome and a part of the community. Our Mom has been thriving this past year. We received permission slips for them to take her sledding in the winter and water sliding in the summer! Mom does not stop talking about how much fun she had. We received video of that adventure and we treasure it! The activities are fabulous. Mom was not one to partake in many activities and now she rarely misses any.
Mom has made many dear friends. It is a joy to sit and have breakfast, lunch or dinner with them and see them interact. The staff is happy to include family. Mom’s friends’ families are now like family to her and it very reassuring to all of us ‘kids’ to know she is so compassionately cared for.

MOTHER IS MUCH HAPPIER
Fabulous facility! Staff is loving and friendly. Food is great! Our mother has been much happier since she has arrived.

THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!
My aunt wanted to stay in her very nice condo over the Charles River. It was a long road of a year till she was ready to make the move. Now that she has, she is enjoying every day and, as she tells me, if you have to be somewhere, this is the place to be!
For me, seeing her smiling and enjoying life again makes me know I did the right thing. My biggest problem is it’s 8 hours from my home as I live in Buffalo, but there is not anything like it in my community. I am at high risk for dementia as well and have told my kids if I need to be somewhere in my future and nothing has changed, send me here.
