 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Bridges is truly a special community. As the owner of Daily Daughter Senior Care, we have the privilege of supporting residents within the community, so I’ve been able to see firsthand the environment they’ve created for both residents and families.

Kristy, the Executive Director, is exceptional. She leads with genuine care, professionalism, and a clear commitment to the people who call The Bridges home. Ashley, the Director of Nursing, is equally wonderful and incredibly dedicated to the well-being of the residents.

One of my favorite things about The Bridges is the sense of community you feel the moment you walk in. There is almost always a group of friends gathered in the lobby, residents spending time together, and something going on. There is no shortage of activities, social opportunities, and ways for residents to stay engaged and build a full, enjoyable lifestyle.

From our perspective working alongside residents and families in the building, it is wonderful to see people not just being cared for, but genuinely happy, connected, and thriving. I cannot say enough great things about Kristy, Ashley, and the community they’ve built at The Bridges.
