Bridge Senior Living

At Somerby Franklin, our Environmental Services Director, Jason, is not only a pro at maintaining Somerby Franklin but also a talented paper airplane enthusiast! This week, he and Amy from Lifestyles hosted a fun paper airplane class as the “Paper Airplane Engineers" and it was an absolute joy for our residents to build and launch our creative creations! #ShowLove #BridgeSeniorLiving

Reviews like this are a powerful testament to the exceptional care provided at The Bridges at Warwick and other Bridge Senior Living communities. Read the Full Review: "I cannot say enough about the staff at the Bridges. My mom has been in various facilities and hands down, "The Bridges" far exceeds expectations. I will share my experience with anyone who has questions. In each facility, they sell you when you are looking for a caring and responsible, professional place for your mom/dad and promise you the world. Then you move in and find out the place has numerous disappointments. Not at the Bridges. If you have a problem, speak up. The Executive Director, Kim always wants to know if there is an issue. She recently said in a weekly email from her (which is amazing) that she sends to family members, "If you don't tell me your concerns, I can't fix them." Speak up and she will rectify any and all concerns. The nursing care is top-notch, always having a professional on hand. The Med-techs are warm and professional and the aides are loving, caring and serve with the utmost dignity for your loved ones. My mom recently passed away while on hospice at the Bridges and the staff was like family to us as well as Mom. She loved everyone who cared for her and her passing was comfortable and peaceful. She was in her home. Thank you to the Bridges, Kim, Kathy, Melissa, Sarah, Ralph and all the staff. I can't name them all here but I will always remember all of you. I don't often do reviews but knowing the difficulty in finding a safe, warm and loving place for a parent, I had to post this. Hope it helps others." —Therese A., daughter of a former resident at The Bridges at Warwick #BridgeSeniorLiving #ShowLove

In preparation for the Paris Olympics, many of our senior communities brought the excitement of the games home with their own Senior Summer Games! Partnering with Tx Team Rehab, community residents formed teams to compete in five fun and challenging events testing strength, balance, cognition, and hand-eye coordination. From a pool noodle javelin throw to a speedy Eiffel Tower cup stack, our athletes truly shined. We're incredibly proud of everyone who participated! 🏅 #SeniorOlympics #Paris2024 #BridgeSeniorLiving For more on our Senior Summer Games, view news coverage from select communities: Somerby Sandy Springs https://lnkd.in/ehtBxnPR Somerby Franklin https://lnkd.in/eKaMMnSr Fleming Farms https://lnkd.in/eAGKKFeF
