BridgeWater at Janesville sits in a quiet area and opened in 2017, so you'll notice the building feels modern, with state-of-the-art features and luxury furnishings in the common areas and rooms, and there are only 24 assisted living and memory care units, which keeps things small enough that residents don't feel lost in the crowd. Folks living here have several options, including Assisted Living, Memory Care for dementia or Alzheimer's, and Skilled Nursing care, all in one place. There's a strong focus on supporting seniors' needs and helping everyone keep their independence with help as needed for things like bathing, dressing, getting around if someone has trouble walking, or managing medications. The Memory Care program was made for people living with memory loss and includes a secure setting, personalized care plans, and staff trained for dementia-specific care.
Rooms come furnished and have telephones, some types of emergency alert systems, and Wi-Fi, plus there are shared spaces for socializing, movie nights, or meeting up in the dining room. The community has a garden, walking paths, a barber and salon, and pet-friendly spaces, which gives people plenty of ways to spend their day. The facility provides chef-prepared meals, including options for people with allergies or special diets, and they handle housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning, so that's taken care of. There are regular resident-led activities, arts programs, and transportation for trips. BridgeWater at Janesville uses a 24-hour call system for safety, and there's always supervision, so help is nearby at any hour. The team focuses on building a caring, home-like environment instead of feeling like an institution, and the routines are designed to keep life as normal and engaging as possible for each person. Both residents who want a more active, social lifestyle and those needing more hands-on care can find a good fit here.
