Almost all staff are very caring and friendly. Living in a complex with 110 rooms is new to me. Always living alone, I am slowly adapting. Bridges does ok, they can to make everyone comfortable.

I have found Bridges' staff and residents very friendly and helpful; I was shy before I moved in here and made many friends. Maintenance crew is fast and excellent in making repairs. The food here is the best I've had anywhere I've been.

After taking a tour of several senior facilities, my wife and I decided on Bridges. They held an apartment for us while we sold our house and moved from out of state. This was very much appreciated.

Good community, not the right fit for our loved one. It felt more institutional and only had 2 meals a day served.
This is a safe and protected home. I couldn't be happier and my children don't have to worry about me.

A Place for Mom has scored Bridges 8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
