Bridgeway Senior Living stands at 111 E Washington St in Bensenville, Illinois, and opened back in 2015 as a privately held company that's done a lot to cover a good range of care for older adults, so, walking around you'd see both independent living homes and apartments, assisted living options, memory care, skilled nursing, and a short-term Bridgeway Rehabilitation wing for people who just need to get well and go home, which makes the place feel like you really can stay put if health needs ever change. The facility runs a Skilled Nursing Facility with long-term and short-term care, seeing to seniors with complex needs, under the watchful eyes of nurses and nursing assistants who're always there, day and night, with therapists and nurses working closely together, keeping rehab going seven days a week, using high-tech equipment and new treatment methods, with a physiatrist overseeing the rehabilitation plans, plus a VOHRA Wound Care certification-means there are wound care nurses on site every day. Folks get access to physical, occupational, and speech therapies, as well as cardiac and orthopedic rehabilitation, pulmonology rehabilitation, and even specialized therapy in partnership with RehabCare, all happening in a large therapy room set up just for that purpose. The place is pet-friendly, which puts people at ease if they don't want to leave their animals behind, and the apartments look comfortable, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, living and dining areas, some private rooms coming with a microwave and fridge, feeling almost like a regular home, not just a care facility.
The grounds have sidewalks, walking trails, lovely landscaping, pretty gardens, and some nice indoor spaces too, like a sunroom for long-term residents, a billiard room, plenty of social lounges, and beautifully decorated interiors with a big fireplace and soft chairs. Meal plans are set up so everyone gets what they need, and the dining room comes with a hostess stand plus a meal display case-details that make mealtime a little more pleasant. Wellness programs aim to keep everyone as healthy as possible, and staff set up activities, events, outings, and social programming every week, so there's always something on the calendar, plus worship and pastoral services for those who want them. The staff runs on the kind side, mostly described as polite and prompt when someone needs help, and residents are watched over carefully, with support available around the clock. For anyone needing support with daily activities, assisted living options are there, with services and help tailored to what each person actually needs, and memory care available too. Social services help residents and families with questions or problems that might come up, and transportation is scheduled when getting to outings or appointments is difficult. A virtual tour feature is available for anyone curious to see inside without visiting in person. The whole setup at Bridgeway Senior Living brings a bit of peace of mind, knowing there's a steady team, solid support, and enough variety in homes and services to fit whatever kind of care a person might need as the years go on.
