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.
CARING AND EXPERIENCED
Bridges at Mashpee has been a good choice for us. My wife was diagnosed with dementia more than 10 years ago. Unlike most homes, Bridges serves only memory-affected residents. The facility is new and modern, and offers residents entertainment programs virtually every day. The team is caring and experienced, and nurses are on duty 24/7.

MAGICAL PLACE
South Shore and Cape Cod people, when you need to start your search for placement of a loved one and you can manage private-pay, please get yourself an appointment with Julie Dalton at Bridges Epoch of Mashpee. I just had an incredible welcoming experience with Julie. The tour and being able to meet others was truly amazing. This is a magical place for humans who need memory care. I am so grateful it was recommended to me.

CARING AND PROFESSIONAL
Everyone who works at Bridges is so caring and professional. Our mother was a resident there for 8 years, and we were very happy with the environment, activities, and socialization at this place. They truly care about all the residents.

RESPONSIVE, KIND, CARING, AND ATTENTIVE
We recently made the difficult decision to move my dad to a new memory care facility. We visited Bridges in Mashpee, and the difference between his old facility and Bridges was amazing!
I must say that the team is extremely responsive, kind, caring, and attentive to my dad’s needs. His response when seeing his new home was, “Am I in heaven?” After spending four months in a place where the staff didn’t seem to care and our family observed my dad being sad and depressed, Bridges offers him so much more in terms of activities, exercise, entertainment, and intellectual stimulation.
I must thank the senior advisor and the whole care team for making this transition painless for our family.

STRESS-FREE TRANSITION
I recently had to move my husband to Bridges from another facility. They could not have made us feel more welcome or made our move more seamless and free of stress. They even had a welcome basket upon arrival.
There are so many engaging, entertaining activities on a daily basis that cater to the many different interests and needs of the residents. The day that I joined my husband, the residents were smiling, joking, and laughing as they played games and sang songs together. The team is extremely attentive and aware of each resident’s needs, and there is great communication with family when needed.
It is an enormous comfort to have a place such as Bridges available to care for your loved ones when the time comes.

QUALITY OF LIFE AGAIN
My grandmother is now a resident at Bridges; honestly, they have given her a quality of life again. She used to watch TV all day, not eating full meals, and stopped socializing. Now she is willingly participating in all the activities they offer, making friends with each resident and staff. From doing puzzles to yoga. Their meals, which I got to join my grandmother in eating for lunch, are remarkable. Every staff member (who is trained in memory care) is kind, patient, compassionate and has humor – which is key to my grandmother. They went above and beyond to help our family navigate and get my grandmother into this safe place. Bridges has given me my grandmother back despite her memory loss. She is happy and never asks for anything. In other words, she feels comfortable, safe and at HOME.
