Bridges by EPOCH at Westwood offers memory care for seniors dealing with Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, and the building's layout helps residents move around more easily, so people aren't getting lost or confused, and there's a friendly team of staff who treat the residents like family and make sure everyone's getting what they need, whether it's help with a daily activity or a bit more support on a hard day. The BRIDGES® programming creates a supportive space where each person gets care that suits them, and the staff takes part in extra training through partnerships with places like McLean Hospital, which means they're always learning new ways to care for people with memory loss. There are memory care suites, thoughtfully designed households, and plenty of dedicated areas just for therapy and wellness programs, plus amenities like nutritious meals, a lovely lobby, a cheerful courtyard, and decks where folks can spend time outdoors if the weather's nice.
For those interested in different kinds of care, Bridges by EPOCH at Westwood works together with Waterstone communities, offering independent and assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and continuing care all on one campus, which makes things simpler as health needs change. Inside the Bridges community, the staff builds meaningful connections through specific programs like Bridges Moments, aiming to boost dignity, contentment, and a sense of belonging, and they keep a full activities calendar so people have fun things to do each month. The care is truly person-centered, with individualized plans that meet each resident's unique needs and levels of assistance, from helping with meals to making sure there's 24/7 telehealth access through Tembo Health if a doctor's appointment is needed. The environment's made to reduce confusion, prevent wandering, and help people feel comfortable, so seniors feel safe, respected, and engaged, no matter how each day looks. The facility also holds the Purple Flag for Dementia Care™ to show its follow-through on best practices in dementia care, and everything is organized to support residents' dignity, wellness, and happiness as their needs change over time.
