Prestige Senior Living Bridgewood

Prestige Senior Living Bridgewood sits in a park-like setting, close to grocery and shopping stores just east of I-205 near Mill Plain in Vancouver, WA, with a grand entrance and wide doorways and elevators to make getting around easier for everyone, no matter how much help they need, and inside you'll find one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, some with kitchenettes and full kitchens, all with air conditioning, safety features like grab bars and emergency call cords, and wheelchair accessible showers for those who need them, and they don't allow smoking in public indoor areas, but pets are welcome since it's a pet-friendly community. Their dining room serves restaurant-quality meals all day, using mostly organic food and ingredients, and there's even a Coffee Bistro with daily fresh-baked snacks, while their awards for "Best Meals and Dining" show folks tend to enjoy what's served. Bridgewood helps people live as independently as possible with support when they need it, offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, skilled nursing, and even hospice and respite stays, all with a focus on treating everyone like family. Their trained clinical staff are there 24/7, along with on-site maintenance crews, and if something goes wrong there's always a 24-hour call system. There's housekeeping, linen, and maintenance services every week, internet and high-speed Wi-Fi everywhere, and transportation to doctor's visits, errands, and community-sponsored activities, plus help from staff if someone needs extra support to get around. Folks can join day trips, planned excursions, and fitness classes every week; programs like Ageless Grace® and Energize Exercise aim to help with balance and keep minds and bodies active, while the Fall Reduction program works to prevent accidents and Wellness Coaches offer advice, and sometimes even Personal Training for a fee. Bridgewood's Celebrations program encourages residents to try new or favorite hobbies, and the Mind Masters program focuses on keeping minds sharp, which is important for everyone but especially for Memory Care. Residents can use a computer lab, movie theater featuring new releases, private library, outside patio garden, and Coffee Bistro, and there's a private dining room for family events. Activities like arts and crafts, live music, movie nights, trivia, and tailgate parties fill out the social calendar, and there's a full schedule of day-to-day events, happy hours, religious services, educational opportunities, and support groups to keep folks connected, and an active resident council to give everyone a say in community life. The staff lend a hand with dressing, bathing, hygiene, and medication management if needed, and there are also home care aides for non-medical support. The community's designed with everyone's safety in mind, with a secure setting and environments in Memory Care built to reduce wandering and confusion, and they offer aging-in-place support so you can stay even if care needs change. Bridgewood accepts Medicaid after a two-year spend-down, and has both private and shared apartment options with 80 licensed beds, so you'll see people in all stages of retirement-some living fully on their own, some with a little help, and some in Memory Care-with most people finding comfort in knowing the staff treat them as part of the extended family, and you can always find a quiet corner or a lively crowd, depending on your mood.
