Our memory support program, Bridges, offers a more
supportive environment for people with memory
impairments. The Bridges therapeutic recreation program
provides frequent, structured leisure activities, daily
exercise, sensory programs and many opportunities for
one to one interaction to meet the needs of people at
any stage of memory loss.
At Bridges, we believe no matter one’s age or ability,
there is opportunity for growth and connection with
others. The Bridges neighborhood supports people with
memory loss by creating an environment that is friendly,
supportive and focuses on having a good day, every day.
Relationships are the foundation of our program. A
person centered assessment is done at the time of
admission in order to develop a plan of care that meets
the needs of mind, body and spirit. We focus on the
social and personal preferences that make a familiar,
enjoyable routine possible. We understand that the
little things, like having your coffee first thing in
the morning, taking a long soak in the tub or listening
to your favorite songs can make all the difference for
quality of life.
In addition, Bridges employees have special training in
dementia care and understand the different types of
supervision, encouragement and redirection that will
foster a positive relationship and sense of calm for
your loved one.
