I love it here and both residents and staff are so kind! ❤️
When my mother asked if she could move to Columbia, too, I began researching all the assisted living facilities in this area. Then I drove up and spent a day visiting each, looking and listening for all those intangibles that don’t show up in print or pictures–but which can make daily life barely bearable, or actually encourage a life of continued personal growth and meaningful relationships.
I found The Bridge at Columbia to be clearly the healthiest and most stable in its facilities, culture, and environment.
Now, after two and a half years, my trust in the administrative staff and my appreciation for the support staff have only increased. Many of these people have become MY friends, people I look forward to seeing and talking with.
I could not recommend more highly the people at The Bridge and their approach to assisted living. They benefit from, but are not locked into, following a corporate program. They are always (starting with comments and suggestions by residents in their regular feedback meetings) re-evaluating what they offer and how well it meets their current residents’ needs.
But you should also realize that ultimately, no matter how well thought out the resources and opportunities are, the quality of your loved one’s inner life and remaining years will be largely self-determined. Their first day at The Bridge, leaving their apt to go to their first meal in the dining hall, will feel like their first day of junior high school. For most it’s a challenge, after several decades, to once again look in the mirror and walk out your door to go meet and be met by strangers.
But unlike the kids back in junior high, these strangers are matured by life experiences and generally more motivated to welcome and make new friends. As in any community, what your loved one brings (in personality, values, encouragement, etc.) is needed. THEY are, once again, needed. And within this community, there remains the potential to discover and cultivate relationships that become special.
Beautifully maintained location that provides excellent care for my mother.
