Bridgeway Pointe

In the Fall of 2021, both of my parents urgently needed a place to live together, yet separate lives due to the level of assistance and care they individually needed. A place for Mom really understood their needs. My mother needed assisted living and my father needed Memory care. I toured BWP, and saw how nice and clean the facility is, and how caring and nice all the staff was in every area. All the apartments are private, and secure. My father has passed and the staff took such great care of him in [removed] until the very end. My mother still loves living at BWP, and has friends that are in her peer group, daily fun activities, three meals a day, and daily communication with staff on how she is doing. Her doctors are located in the Drake hospital that is located right down the hall. This is the perfect safe,secure and stress free environment for my mother, and we are very happy she loves where she is living at BWP.

Mom reluctantly agreed to move to an assisted living community after a third fall. She is 99 and had been living alone for 6 years since my Dad died. She had lived in the same house for 72 years. She was not happy about moving to an Assisted Living community since 'daughters are suppose to care for their mothers'. Fortunately we found Bridgeway Pointe in Cincinnati and everything that they say they are, THEY ARE. The people care for my mother like she's family. The director sees that the residents are immediately welcomed and my mom had friends for meals that first day. These same friends now knock on her door daily to see that she joins them in social events. Mom is happy and cared for. She has her own one bedroom apartment, a variety of meals, 2 or 3 social events everyday and it is very affordable since this is a non-profit. We looked at many places for my Mother and this is the only place where we felt everyone sincerely cares for the residents.

[name removed] the retirement coordinator is great at her position. She makes the transition to Senior living at Bridgeway Pointe very easy. Overall the whole staff is very good. I would recommend Bridgeway Pointe to anyone looking for a place for their elderly loved ones.

I would recommend this community for your loved one. The staff have been excellent so far. They have activities like bingo, cards, a concert for the residents and more to keep the residents busy in the community.

What we liked most about Bridgeway Pointe community is the caring staff members. We would 100% recommend this community to others.

We chose Bridgeway Pointe because they had availability when we needed it quickly, especially with trying to move her with COVID. We had also had mutual friends who had their mom was here and had a good experience, so it was highly recommended to us. The staff members here seem to care more about their residents than others places that we have been, they take great care of her and love my mom. I would highly recommend them and already have to some of my friends in the same situation.

Possibility but living style is more like a college apt than I'm used to.

The entire [removed] keeping, nurses, STNAS, admins, etc. go beyond their job descriptions to be aware of my dad's needs and habits and address them as needed. The atmosphere is friendly and homey.

My mother is a current resident. I cannot, in all good conscious, recommend bridgeway pointe. The floor she is on is isolated, few folks are around her. She has been there for several years and the walls have not been repainted and remain scuff covered as does her room. It often d takes several requests for routine maintenance to be completed in her room and it is up to us to "find" these items- like overhead lights out, blinds not working, sprinkler heads not covered, bathroom floors curling by a shower. Deep cleaning, as in scrubbing of shower, doors, etc, is completed by me and my sister once or twice a year. Catholic mass is not offered every Saturday or Sunday, maybe 2 or 3 times a month. the "resident rosary" on saturdays has long since disbanded yet it is still on the calendar. the stretch any exercise class depends on the instructor for the length and quality. For those who can no longer read, do to stroke or other brain trauma, there is no or VERY limited announcement of activities- I still make mom a character based calendar so she knows what is going on. There was a long stretch without any therapy animals for visiting-I did see one last week so maybe they are back. There are raised beds in the courtyard for the residents for planting- but if the residents don't plant it seems as if they remain empty. So why is mom still there-pricing and she has made some friends

I toured here over the Memorial weekend. Surprise vist. It looked okay and the people there are very nice. Again, only a one bedroom.

I am really pleased with the thoughtful kindness professionalism that Bridgeway Pointe has provided in helping my mom transition to her new home. [Name removed] and [Name removed] listen and always approachable. They have addressed every concern no matter how small. My mother is actively involved in the daily activities and really enjoys the menus and chatting with her new friends.

We have been living at Bridgeway Pointe for three months now and are completely happy with our choice. I visited eight or ten other possible facilities suggested by our counselor at A Place for Mom, but I fell in love with Bridgeway's welcoming atmosphere and flexibility in accommodating personal needs. The building is beautiful inside and out, the meals are varied and bountiful, and the dining room staff will go out of their way to make sure the meals are satisfying to you. There are many other pluses (especially the confidence of living in a non-profit under University Hospital's umbrella as well as the convenience and availability of Drake Hospital's therapeutic services) but the main attraction for me is what drew me here in the first place--everyone works to see that you are HAPPY here. Residents and staff alike look out for one another and respect each person's dignity. I guess the best way to describe it is to say Bridgeway feels like home.

Bridgeway made my Aunt a much happier person than she was. The staff and [Name removed] made her so happy and welcome. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Although it was a short time for [Name removed] there, I believe she was a happier person than I had seen for years.

Very pleasant and friendly atmosphere- attractive and comfortable rooms - great staff! Dining room very pleasant with large tables, good service and very nice and a cured menu, cooked well.

Bridgeway Pointe is wonderful. I really can't say enough good things about it. The administration and staff go above and beyond to make each resident really feel at home. What a comfort and blessing when I leave, after visiting my Aunt, knowing she is relaxed, happy, safe and cared for.

All of the staff go out of their way to take care of my mom so well. From activities, to medical care, to just making her laugh! Our whole family apprecaite them. I have seen some not so great places with my grandmother, so we are glad our mom picked bridgeway point!

I have only good things to say about Bridgeway Pointe. I like its small size, I liked the contentment and pride every one of them showed as I met and talked to them. The facility itself is beautiful, but most of all I liked the general approach the administration takes to individualizing care as much as possible. It is somewhat more expensive than I expected, so I am not sure we can afford it, but I will check this out after I have visited more facilities and have a real basis for comparison. A great beginning for my search.

The staff and admin always do a very good job of taking care of my loved ones. Over the past 10 years, we have had 5 different family members live at BWP. We have trusted their care of all our loved ones. Thanks!
