Bridgeport Senior Living - Port Springs

Bridgeport Senior Living - Port Springs is a residential care home that serves seniors with memory care needs, including those with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, and the building sits in its own secured area to help residents stay safe and reduce confusion, with a computerized wandering alert system and technology-based safety bracelets that let staff know if anyone tries to leave a safe zone, and they really structure the place so people can get around with walkers or wheelchairs since there are wheelchair-accessible showers, private baths, and features built for easy mobility. The community has private and semi-private rooms, and the facility lets residents have cats or dogs, providing pet care, and they run pet therapy programs with Be an Angel Therapy Dogs Ministry, and there are regular onsite and offsite activities, from devotional services to brain fitness and art classes, stretching groups, and more. Port Springs offers meal services, with kosher and vegetarian options, and provides meals to all residents. The healthcare team includes a Medical Director, Kelly Higgins, ARNP, who specializes in dementia, plus a 24-hour staff presence, on-call doctors, and access to nurses, therapists, and visiting specialists like podiatrists and dentists. Staff help with personal care, medication management, diabetic care including blood sugar checks and insulin shots (but not slide-scale therapy), and incontinence care, reminding residents to use the restroom and help with hygiene. The care level system supports light to medium care and helps people move between beds and chairs with different kinds of hands-on assistance or mechanical lifts as needed, and the place supports those who are non-ambulatory. Amenities include indoor and outdoor common areas, cable or satellite TV and Wi-Fi, beautician services onsite, and accessible transportation and resident parking available for an extra cost, and there's support for hospice and aging in place. Bridgeport Senior Living handles several homes around Orlando and Altamonte Springs, each with port-themed names, and the Port Springs home is part of a group known for memory care in smaller, more personal settings. The facility connects residents and families through online management tools, activity calendars, and resources about Medicare, costs, placement through Purple Door FINDERS, and transition guidance from home to senior living. There are also sections on their website for endorsements, community news, senior care articles, careers, privacy, help, contact, resources, instructions on how the process works, memory reviews, and options for sharing, printing, downloading, or saving favorite information, and folks can manage their own listings or profile details online. The staff pride themselves on keeping a 24/7 referral service and are known for being friendly, understanding, and supportive, while focusing on helping seniors and their families make clear decisions about care.
