Bridges by EPOCH at Lexington

Bridges by EPOCH at Lexington is a memory care assisted living community built for people with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, and the place sits on a single floor so residents don't have to deal with stairs or elevators, which can be hard for someone with memory issues, and there are both private and companion suites for folks who like their own space or prefer some company, and all the rooms and common areas are designed to be safe and comfortable for people who need extra support with memory. The staff here work around the clock to help residents with daily activities, and they make sure to get to know each person's life history, preferences, and interests, which helps them create care plans that fit each resident's needs, and there's always someone around for a helping hand. Bridges by EPOCH at Lexington has earned praise nationally and holds the Purple Flag for Dementia Care™ accreditation for using best practices in memory care, which means the staff get lots of special training and follow safety standards that help keep everyone secure, while the building is laid out in a way that supports people living with memory loss. Residents enjoy a variety of things to do, like art and music therapy, group programs, fitness, recreation, and activities that boost brain health, and the meals are healthy, tasty, and adjusted for dietary requirements. The staff and programs focus on dignity and wellness for both body and mind, with each day aiming to bring moments of joy and meaning, and there are even telehealth services for seeing doctors without leaving the building. Bridges by EPOCH at Lexington shares its campus with Waterstone of Lexington, and partners with McLean, a teaching hospital, to keep caregivers up to date on dementia care education, and people can go to support groups or join educational events, so there's always chances to stay connected and learn. The facility is part of the EPOCH Senior Living network, and the whole place tries to create a caring, community environment that supports each person's strengths while letting everyone make connections and enjoy daily life as much as possible, with staff who understand memory challenges and want to help residents keep leading fulfilling lives through every stage of memory loss.
