Bridgewater at Waterman Village Assisted Living sits in Mt. Dora, Florida, inside the Waterman Village senior living campus. The staff helps seniors with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, along with offering medication management, incontinence care, and mental wellness programs. Everyone gets three meals a day, with room delivery if needed, and special diets are followed if the doctor orders them. Wi-Fi and basic cable are in every apartment, and rooms fit beds of any size from twin up to king. Apartments start at $3750 a month, and the rate covers personal care like bathing help and medicine administration. The place has a 24-hour call system, routine safety checks, and is smoke-free.
Spacious apartments, big screened lanais, extra storage, and covered parking make it comfortable. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen help are provided, along with podiatry, dental, hearing, and medical clinics all on-site. The campus has a gated entrance and staff is on hand for security. There's a UF Health Clinic, plus an Edgewater Health & Rehabilitation Center for rehab after hospital stays, and the Springwater Memory Support House supports those needing memory care. Bridgewater can give care for those who need independent living, assisted living, memory care, short-term rehab, in-home health, psychiatric, or hospice services, with services in English and Spanish. Medicaid is accepted.
Bridgewater has a long list of activities-arts and crafts, musical programs, games, a Lunch Bunch, Candy Bar Bingo, Happy Hour, pet therapy, shopping trips, country rides, and weekly church services in the beautiful chapel. The community hosts yoga, Tai Chi, exercise classes, and wellness programs, plus recreational and fitness options on their spacious grounds. There are walking trails, gardens, and a Medspa for salon and massage services, and the entire campus welcomes pets. Senior-friendly amenities include a computer room, entertainment rooms, coffee shop, general store, and guest parking. The dining team works only for Bridgewater, working to serve healthy, tasty food in communal or in-room settings as needed.
The campus has a pharmacy and a church right on site, and transportation goes to medical appointments, stores, and restaurants. There are programs for spiritual wellness and support, with full-time Pastor and Chaplain staff. Bridgewater does its best to make life easier with non-care services like housekeeping, move-in help, transportation to appointments, and daily scheduled activities. Nurses, visiting doctors, a nurse practitioner, podiatrist, and psychologist come in regularly and many staff have worked here for years. The new heavy-duty generator ensures safety, and the community is recently renovated, both inside and out.
Locally owned since 1989, Bridgewater's not run by a big corporation, and the same organization manages and operates everything on site. The community is licensed as an Extended Congregate Care facility, with Assisted Living Facility (ALF) license AL7869, and has room for up to 100 residents. Bridgewater helps people move smoothly from independent living to assisted living or even nursing care as their needs change, all within the same campus, and is known for strong activity and wellness programs across the Southeast.
