Bridge Senior Living

Our Loved one has lived here for 5 years and is thriving. There is a new Site Director who is dynamic and her enthusiasm is contagious. She is committed to hiring caring, qualified staff and promoting a safe environment for all residents. The apartments are a perfect size when residents want to retire to their private quarters. Seniors tend to isolate so the common areas have been remodeled and are where the residents congregate for activities. The monthly activities vary. The food menu changes and the Chef is accommodating with special requests. There is always someone in the lobby to greet you and direct you. The staff address all residents by name and treat them with respect. There is a hominess in the facility and they encourage residents to participate in activities that interest them. The driver is caring beyond words and safely transports residents to their doctors appointments. Each staff member brings a sensitive caring approach to these Seniors who need a little extra help or supervision. Can't say enough about the quality of this facility. It is the next best place to be if your loved one can no longer live independently in their own home. There is a peace of mind that our loved one is receiving 24 hour supervision as needed. I work in healthcare and have been in many facilities. I highly recommend Woodbridge for your loved one.

Somerby is outstanding !!

We have signed the lease, but have not moved my mother in yet. She should be moving in a couple of weeks, but so far everyone has been great and very helpful. We have taken 2 tours, one without my mother and one with her. Also we ate in the dining room both visits and the food was great!

Bellivita was very helpful and patient with our family while trying to convince all parties concerned that this was the best thing we could do for our mother. Now that we have managed to get her into Bellavita everyone can see how much better off and safer she will be while residing there. The people there are very helpful and friendly about all things concerning her health and welfare. Every day that we visit her there we feel even better than the day before that we have done the best thing possible for her at this time in her life.

The staff has been good. I really like the activities that they offer the residents. My in laws have been enjoying there dining and the food and also getting to know the people. I just wish that they were able to take there leftovers to there room.

This is a lovely community, and I really like it here. Everybody is very kind and welcoming. The staff is excellent, they are very helpful and accommodating. There are many activities to choose from, I've tried a few of them. The food is excellent, I enjoy the meals. Everything has worked out very well for me here. I would highly recommend it, it is a good place.

I moved my mother in from another facility from another city. The welcome was above and beyond what we have ever experienced before. Every staff person knew her name, came to visit the 1st day, had an entry Welcome sign on an easel outside her door. Every major staff manager was there - laundry, cook, caregivers, lead nurse, HR, sales manager (who also gave the us a basket of goodies and a bottle of desert wine), and a tour of the facility for Mom. She immediately felt warmed, received and accepted. Since then, she has met new caregivers who EACH take time with her to encourage her to rest, but keep on coming down to meals to meet people. The apartment is 1 bedroom that is bright, easy to decorate with her things, and supplied with frig and kitchen area which her own children can use. The rooms are bright, sunny, happy, and larger than we saw other places. Ceiling fans, nice window treatments, and freshly painted walls are so nice and fresh. They helped us with pricing what was right for Mom's budget. MacArthur Hills was a GREAT choice for my mother. There are so many activities for her to choose from - depending on her health, strength, and interest. We are so happy for and with her.

From the first phone call, the staff at Bella Vita were very friendly and courteous. They showed a very caring attitude while we were moving my mother-in-law into her room. The facility is just beautiful and homey at the same time. Even though it has been just a little while since she's been there, I feel she will soon feel "at home". She is in the memory care unit.

The staff at The Bridges made the recent transition of our loved one from home to assisted living so easy. Their main focus was making our loved one feel welcome and they made sure he was included in the decision making process. They continue to go out of their way to make sure he is adjusting nicely, his medications are accurate and given on time, and his family is updated on any issues. He feels at home in his new surroundings. We look forward to many years of good relationships.

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. We ended up selecting another community, but this is somewhere I would have considered as an option for my loved one.

My mother recently became a resident in the memory care unit after we received a referral from A Place for Mom. Her new home is like an apartment and the food in the restaurant is so good my father wants to come visit her 3 times a day so he can eat there! The staff members always greet you with a smile and offer many activities for her to participate in. We love that we are able to take her to her doctor appointments and out for little trips during the day and are thrilled that she has a safe place to live with the care that she needs!

My wife has been in the memory care facility at The Estate at Franklin for 6 weeks. It has been a good experience. The community is well runned. My first impression when walking in is the very happy atmosphere. Everyone is very, very friendly. The staff is very responsive to your requests.

Great caring staff

Really great people. My mom went into Woodbridge needing extra care. And left after 5 months helping others get to and from their seats in the dining room. Mom says if the apts were larger she would have loved to stay. Thank you for helping her get back on her feet and feel useful again.

My loved one seems very happy there, and he seems to well taken of. The only concern I had was that there was a fall, and I am not sure if maybe it could have been prevented, I don't know if maybe they let him out of the bus in a bad spot, or if maybe someone could have been there. I just don't know. The food portions were really small for him, but when I brought that up to them they were able to give him a bigger portion. They have been very nice, the people that helped after the fall did such a good job. They have been more than helpful with everything.

I had contacted "A Place for Mom" when I was trying to decide whether to leave my mother in Palm Bay, Florida or move her to Mt. Pleasant, SC (my home). "A Place for Mom" had 4 facilities from Mt. Pleasant and 4 from Palm Bay contact me. After researching each one, I decided to move her to Somerby. I wanted her close to me and Somerby is not only a beautiful, well-managed facility with everything to offer that my mother needs, it is 3/4 mile from my home! I could not be more pleased with the accommodations or the staff. I would definitely recommend this facility to anyone who wants the assurance that a loved one will be well cared for, and cared about.

It's tough for me to rate the activites because my parents don't really take advantage of them. But judging from the monthly calender that they put out they have a lot. They have art classes, exercise classes like yoga and tai chi, walking, movies and more. The only complaint is that the head person there, at Woodbridge Place, moved on to something else so there's an interim person in there right now. They're sitll working on getting reorganized and getting a replacement. We chose it because it's very clean, very friendly. We're extremely pleased!

What we like the most about the community are the staff, they are caring and care for the whole family. It has a full schedule of activities as well as anytime dining. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families.

They represented several things in the beginning negotiation that later turned out to not be correct. For instance, they said that the dog would be included, and that care would be provided by their staff. That turned out not to be the case and we later had to hire someone to help us. There was also $[removed] one time pet fee added. Also, their prescription system is very difficult. We found that there was many delays with getting prescriptions and had to intervene multiple times with the doctors and staff. However, the facility is beautiful and well-maintained.

Everyone is very nice and comforting . I'd give a 5 but had issues with the director of [name removed] . Food and portions were great! Apt size is perfect. Activities were good also.
