Clare Alterra Bridge Cottage provides senior living with a range of care including assisted living, memory care, and independent living, and they use unique names for areas like the Outpatient Rehabilitation Center and the Gill Jones Center, where you'll find programs for wound care, diabetes education, diabetes management, orthopedic surgery information, and community lectures covering topics from knee replacement to marriage. The place has on-site physical therapy and offers classes in things like memoir writing and life story workshops, and their community programs aim to support health and wellness, so you'll see both educational events and a mix of daily activities on and off the grounds. Clare Alterra Bridge Cottage is connected with local hospitals such as Winter Haven Hospital and Lakeland Regional Medical Center, letting residents get medical support and skilled nursing if needed, and they also provide respite care at no cost for loved ones.
There's always a nurse on staff and 24-hour staffing to help with daily needs, medication help, incontinence care, ambulatory and non-ambulatory care, and residents who need extra assistance with bathing or dressing, and they have special programs for Alzheimer's, dementia, and Parkinson's with 24-hour supervision and memory loss accommodations, including safety features like Wander Guard, a security gate, and enclosed courtyards to reduce confusion and prevent wandering.
