Bridges at Arbor
Bridges is our one-of-a-kind approach specifically for those living in the early stages of dementia.
What Is Bridges?

Designed especially for seniors living in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease or another type of dementia, our innovative Bridges program offers the right amount of support and stimulation to combat challenges that come with cognitive decline. Residents enjoy close relationships with their peers who have similar needs, as well as targeted cognitive exercise and ability-appropriate events to build self-esteem.

Life in our Bridges neighborhoods
Adults living in the early stages of dementia are living in the “in-between.” They don’t yet need the full support of traditional memory care. At the same time, traditional assisted living might feel too overwhelming, and they may feel more anxious about keeping up with conversation or masking their forgetfulness. Bridges at Arbor means making the most of living in the “in-between,” surrounded by neighbors who truly understand and never mind periods of forgetfulness. Bridges means less anxiety, more support, fewer worries, and more connections.

Wellness and Health
Our Bridges neighborhoods offer support for all aspects of holistic health. We believe that a life full of opportunities can enhance overall wellness.
Our award-winning Dining with Dignity® program ensures everyone gets the food they love and that makes them feel their best. Meal adaptations are important in all stages of cognitive decline, especially the early ones.

Neighbors gather for regular cognitive exercise programs that are designed to empower participants and keep their brains sharp.
Social wellness is just as important as physical wellness, and we make it easy to connect with new friends over shared experiences.
Our team works to create daily events and programs that give residents an outlet for fun, support, and new learning, all at their own pace.

Transitioning into Bridges
Thanks to physicians diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia earlier than in decades past, adults are getting the chance to advocate for themselves and their wishes. Our Bridges program was created because we determined that assisted living residents with a diagnosis of dementia were not flourishing in assisted living communities. We noticed these residents were spending more time in their apartments and less time out and about in the community. Bridges is meant to be empowering and supportive, giving residents the chance to talk openly about their journey with neighbors who truly understand.

Most Bridges residents and their loved ones are pleasantly surprised to realize that this innovative program is well within their carefully planned budget. Thanks to one monthly fee that covers nearly everything from rent to utilities to care, you can enjoy predictable expenses that are comparable to living at home.
