Bridge Senior Living

The nurses are amazing. If you chose this community, make sure you're advocating for oyour loved one, and checking on them. Overall the staff is friendly, and they try hard to make our loved one comfortable.

We really like the management portion of this community, but just like everybody else they have their hands full with being short staffed. It is a very nice community, but they would definitely benefit from having a little bit more fuller staff team. The dining service is fine and the location is very convenient for our family. We would recommend this community to other families.

The facility is vertical and has multiple floors and we were looking for a place that was smaller and all on one level. It just did not feel like the right fit for my loved one.

The community is suffering from growing pains; however in general they are good. They are working on staffing up the community, currently there is not enough staff to care for the residents, especially on the weekend. There was a change in the Executive Director, and it wasn't announced to the families or residents, and this wasn't a good business decision in my opinion. The staff are readily available to speak to family about our questions or concerns. The food is so much better than a prior community that my loved one was at. It is comparable to a three or four star hotel. It may be a little too salty for some. The monthly fee includes housekeeping, linen washing, and there are points for meals. There is supposed to be a physician that comes to see the residents once a week, so far I have only seen a physician's assistant for my loved one. I feel the moved in process was flawed. The communication from the sales person I had been dealing with and what ended up happening once we got there, there was a disconnect for us. It felt like stringent rules and times. We were kind of juggling things to fit HarborChase's schedule. I wasn't greeted well, neither was my loved one. It took a couple weeks for my loved one's name to get onto the door.

We think they do a really good job with the meals and dining service and the apartment rooms are perfect. Sometimes there is a lack of communication with the care staff and the families and there has been a recent change over in staff so sometimes information is up in the air and we aren't sure who our main contact is.

Even with the staff being shorthanded they have continued to be so friendly and they really are trying their absolute best. They are really accommodating when it comes to the meals, they are willing to deliver the meals to our loved one or give them something different if they don't like what is being served. The rooms themselves are very nicely laid out. We thought it would be an easy transition coming from a big house - he has a bedroom, separate living space, a walk in closer and a nice kitchenette.

The food was okay and the rooms were small. The building was just older than some of the other communities and I just did not have that caring feeling.

There has been a change in chefs and this has caused some inconsistencies in the food from my understanding. There is a full calendar of activities for the residents to participate in, if they choose to. I would encourage you to visit and visit with the residents to see if this would be a good fit for your loved one.

Unless your loved one is completely independent and able to take care of themselves this is not the right place. If they need a lot of care the adequate care will not be provided from this community.

They are not able to properly care for Alzheimer's or dementia patients who wander, which is a pretty common behavior. They called me partway through my loved one's stay to tell me he was wandering into his neighbor's room. They had a shared bathroom, and he simply just wasn't remembering which room was his after leaving the bathroom. So I had to come and get him early from his respite stay. I was stunned that they are licensed to help dementia patients. They seem much better able to provide simple assisted living as opposed to dementia care. They told me all of his stuff was packed up, but there were things still stuffed away in drawers. So I would have left things behind had I taken them at their word. It's a pretty place, and it's impressive to look at. But that doesn't matter if the care is not adequate.

Food is not appealing-not much taste- 1 or 2 a week. Is senior living but 85% in wheelchairs or bed-ridden on admittance.

The facility itself seems to be good, however there does seem to be some issues lately with the activities, those have been greatly reduced. The cleanliness of the common areas are clean, but we have concerns that the carpeted areas from all the traffic needs to be professionally cleaned. The rooms seem to be cleaned on a regular basis, but sometimes the floors seem a little sticky. All of the staff members we have encountered have all been great. When we first came to tour the community we were able to eat a meal and it was good. We don't complain about the meals we eat ourselves, but depending on the age of the resident they might have some trouble - for example the meat might be a little tough to cut. There also seems to be an issue with the bread, it seems like they might keep it frozen. When our loved one gets a piece of bread, she will ask for it to be toasts so it warmed up and even then sometimes that doesn't work.

Our loved one was there for respite care and at first all the arrangement's seemed to go very well, however our loved one ended up with bruises that the community said was from the gate belts they were using. There was no communication about this to our family or reports, so we aren't sure if they just didn't know how to correctly use the gate belts. Also we made arrangements with the group who comes to work in the hair salon to have our loved ones hair done twice that week but it was never done. Our expectations were not met.

Right when we walked in it just felt more institutionalized than some others we saw. The room sizes here are very big. They have a happy hour cart that comes around and I did not think that would be a good idea for memory care. It was not the right fit for us.

We did not have a good experience with Bridges of Bent Creek. It is a good place, it was just not the right fit for my loved one and the type of care that they needed. I would recommend if your loved one has naturally aging dementia.

One reason we chose The Enclave is on the first floor there is an outdoor patio area where would loved one could walk freely outside. When we see the meals everything looks and smells great but our loved one is not the biggest fan. The community is having some staffing issues so the activities have suffered a little bit, they are non consistent. However we cannot blame them, we think it is just due to the current circumstances.

Our family was able to have an in person tour, and they did have some covid restrictions but we were able to get a decent feel for the community. We were able to see different model rooms, but our of the three communities we toured this was the most expensive.

I would recommend you not to go there. During COVID the community isolated the residents in their rooms. The staff communication with family is non-existent. During our stay the community wasn't doing activates.

COVID protocols in place. Mask required for visitors. Grounds very well kept. Small Community on a busy street. Not much outdoor space for residents to mingle. Observed the common room by front door was occupied by many residents. Very friendly. The tour hit the high points, puzzle areas, dining room wing for Memory Care, beauty salon. Transportation available to and from appointments. Financially comparable to others I have toured.

The community has had almost a full turnover of staff. I would tell others to shop around. This was not a good fit for my loved one. My loved one needed some additional assistance to go to the hospital. The staff wouldn't answer the call buttons for my loved one. I ended up moving my loved on out of the community. They sold us with them stating they have an executive chef and they had better food than other communities. Our loved one requested food to be delivered hot and it was not.
