What Our Families Say
We could fill several websites telling you about our supportive, purpose-built design, personalized life-enrichment programs, and exceptional care and services … but, while remarkable and unique, those are merely the ingredients we use to create the real magic of Bridges® – the magic that is shown on the faces of our residents and felt in the hearts of their families.
ESTABLISHING TRUST WITH FAMILIES
My mother has been a resident at Bridges by EPOCH in Hingham for over two years. The level of care she receives has consistently been excellent. We are grateful to have her reside within this community. The nurses and aides demonstrate exceptional skill and compassion in addressing the varied needs of the residents. Their professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness contribute significantly to creating a welcoming, engaging, and secure environment.
In addition to their high standard of care, the staff maintain strong communication with our family, enabling us to support my mother’s well-being effectively. The team has established a substantial level of trust with both myself and my family. The concierge and front desk personnel are also noteworthy for their effectiveness and hospitality. They coordinate medical, social, and administrative tasks efficiently, allowing families to remain informed and organized regarding our responsibilities. Their efforts ensure the smooth operation of daily activities. Both the dining services and facilities receive commendation. Meals are nutritious and flavorful, special dietary requests are handled capably, and the premises are maintained to an exemplary standard of cleanliness and modernity. The food service and facilities staff interact positively with residents, frequently addressing them by name and taking the time to engage personally.
Lastly, the Bridges Executive Team demonstrates exceptional leadership. Having had good experiences with other assisted living communities, I can attest that the quality of management at Bridges greatly exceeds expectations. The leadership team has successfully built and retained a highly competent and empathetic staff, implemented an effective care model, and maintains transparent and regular communication with families. They are consistently approachable, responsive to concerns or inquiries, and well-informed about my mother’s health needs. Overall, the executive team manages the residence with outstanding professionalism. My family and I are extremely grateful to have mom residing at Bridges Hingham.

WHAT MAKES BRIDGES SO SPECIAL
I can’t say enough about Bridges in Hingham. I have a person in my life who has been a resident there for 4 years. The care is personal, and professional. I can say everyone in the building knows my friend, her name, history etc. They know that because everyone there takes the time to speak with her. The activities they offer are upbeat and engaging. They always make everyone feel special. They always find something/ someone to celebrate. I have visited early mornings, afternoons and evenings .. the care given on each of these shifts is wonderful. The building, courtyard is lovely, but honestly the people are what make Bridges so special.

DEDICATED AND UNWAVERING
Institutions, buildings, and reputations can look and sound impressive, but patient care is what’s essential. After a few hours in the company the staff, I got a glimpse of what was important to them, and how they envisioned delivering patient care. If this team, responsible for leading others, possessed, stressed, and shared these values with their colleagues, it could only foster their vision. I signed a lease based on these factors.
I have not been disappointed with my decision. My loved one sleeps in clean linens every night. Her bed is made every day. The room is cleaned daily. I have been visiting Bridges at Hingham for the past 18 months. I have seen the same caregiver faces every day. I can say the same for dining services, housekeeping, and the activities department. The nursing department is well organized and efficient. These people/departments become familiar with my friend’s preferences and they do their best to accommodate. Something as small as where clients prefer to sit in the dining room, to whether or not they like ice in their drink, every detail is noted. I’d like to give a special shout out to the fantastic team that supports my friend and ensures her safety each and every day. You are tireless, dedicated, and unwavering. Well done!

A SECOND FAMILY
Almost two years ago, my family had to make the difficult decision to find a place for Dad to live once his health and dementia worsened. We are so grateful to have found Bridges by Epoch in Sudbury. The entire community consists of administration, aides, nurses, kitchen staff, activities director, and maintenance staff that are ALL wonderful! Dad thrived in his new environment. Every team member took the time to know Dad personally, including his likes and dislikes with food and things he enjoyed doing. They always went above and beyond to make him happy and comfortable. It was a wonderful experience for Dad and for us as his family, knowing he received the care and attention he deserved. And at the end of Dad’s journey, absolutely everyone made his last days easier on all of us with the love and support they showed us. When staff members are there to hug and support you, with tears in their eyes because they cared about your loved one so much, you know you found the right place! Thank you to everyone at Bridges that became a second family to Dad and us. You will all be fondly remembered as living angels for the work that you do!

CARING AND EXPERIENCED
Bridges at Mashpee has been a good choice for us. My wife was diagnosed with dementia more than 10 years ago. Unlike most homes, Bridges serves only memory-affected residents. The facility is new and modern, and offers residents entertainment programs virtually every day. The team is caring and experienced, and nurses are on duty 24/7.

WELCOMING AND HOMEY
For anyone who is looking for an assisted living facility for a loved one needing memory care, you need to visit Bridges of Pembroke. The atmosphere is very welcoming and homey, and all staff (management, nursing, dietary, etc.) care for the residents as they would their own family members, and the food served is restaurant quality!
