Bridges by EPOCH at Sudbury

My dad was a resident at Bridges by Epoch in Sudbury for four years, I am so grateful he was there. He passed 11 days ago and the care he received was excellent. But, what was truly extraordinary was the love he (and I) received. Chris, the director, has assembled an amazing staff who all made my dad feel like the a very big man. The activities director, chef, wellness director, nurses, and all who fed and cared for him did so with love and gave him the dignity he deserved. Everyone was accessible when they were needed. They were truly his second family. I will miss my visits to Bridges. Thank you so much.

The best thing that I did to help my husband John was to find Bridges by Epoch in Sudbury. His health and memory had declined significantly this summer and now at the Bridges in just a month he is doing so much better. The care that he is getting and the support from the staff are benefiting him and me as a caregiver. I am very grateful for everyone working at the facility.

Our mom has been a resident at Bridges by Epoch in Sudbury for several months. We chose Bridges for several reasons: its singular focus on memory care, the smaller size of the facility, its "neighborhood" setup, and its caring staff. We have been beyond impressed, especially with the staff. She has a consistent set of caregivers who know her and look out for her, the administration is accessible, thoughtful and keeps us up to date on happenings at the facility, the chef is terrific and the food his staff provides is high quality, and the activities staff has a full schedule of wonderful activities and events designed specifically for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia. Bridges was also very responsive and easy to deal with prior to placement, during the her initial evaluation and move in process. The facility itself is warm, inviting, and clean, with a beautiful outdoor space that we enjoy spending time in with our mom. We're very happy with Bridges and it gives us peace of mind knowing that our mom is being cared for in such a warm, professional setting.

My wife has been a resident at Bridges by EPOCH at Sudbury for almost five months now, and I can honestly say she is receiving all the care that is now so necessary. She is completely safe, properly nourished, properly (and carefully) medicated, and as engaged in stimulating activities as she chooses to be. On all those dimensions, I, as her former primary caregiver, had been failing, truth to tell. Now our whole family has the relief of knowing she is in very good hands.

Bridges by EPOCH at Sudbury is a wonderful resource in our community. As a geriatric care manager, it is a pleasure to recommend their memory support services and care.

My mom was in the Longfellow neighborhood at Bridges by Epoch at Sudbury for the past 3 years. We chose Bridges because of the beautiful, bright and welcoming environment and the warm, friendly and caring staff. We were impressed with 24 hour nursing coverage and the possibility of PRN medication which was not available at a lot of other memory care facilities that we looked at. The outdoor courtyards are beautiful and we spent a lot of time outside with her during our visits. We were very happy with her care at Bridges. My mom was able to be on hospice care as well while staying at Bridges, and her passing was peaceful. We were so comforted by the Bridges aides, nurses, and the food staff when she passed. You know that your mom has been not only well cared for but also loved when the staff cries with you. Thank you for making this very difficult time easier for our family.

If you are reading this, my heart goes out to you because chances are you on the very difficult path of memory loss with a loved one. I was VERY nervous to place my father in memory care assisted living, but it became clear that his needs were becoming greater than what I could provide for at home. To my great relief and joy, his quality of life vastly improved when he moved to Bridges at Sudbury. My father is cared for so beautifully here - not only his physical needs, but also socially and emotionally. The staff has really gotten to know him as an individual and I even feel supported and welcomed as a partner in his care. The staff members are so warm and dedicated. The communication is great. My dad enjoys the food! The daily scheduled activities are engaging and keep him busy and even trying new things (like painting and chair volleyball!). His favorite activities are the wonderful musicians who frequently perform, the outings to lunch, coffee or ice cream, and the therapy doggies. It really is a wonderful place and it means so much to me to recommend Bridges at Sudbury. Best wishes to you on this journey.

My Father lives here at Epoch in Sudbury. He seems happy there and I met one of his friends there who seemed very nice. Our family just wanted to make sure he was in a safe place!

Having a lifetime of experience in both healthcare and the culinary world, I am impressed by the high quality of care, education, and food that Bridges by Epoch provides. Alicia Seaver, Vice President of Memory Care Operations and Certified Memory Impairment Specialist, as well as Dr. Brent P. Forester and Dr. Paolo Cassano have provided great webinars on brain health. Sarah Turcotte, Area Community Liaison, has been a tremendous support for me and Heart To Home Meals.

Speaking with and thanking Cindy Wirth recently, I said “I believe you are the finest executive I’ve ever known”. My wife, Maureen, has been at Bridges just over a year, and with her five children and many friends who have come to visit, we are endlessly amazed at how wonderful Bridges by Epoch at Sudbury is. Although the facility is new, modern and immaculate, it is the people who really shine. There is an endless and flawless execution of everything all the time. And, this is what is endless: always caring about every aspect of my wife’s well-being; being on top of everything every hour of every day; showing respect for and really love being with my wife, and letting her life shine through with dignity, devotion and humor. I’ve thought about writing a tribute such as this for some time and I am honored to have a few moments to pass onto others a small token of the love we all have for Bridges and those who so seemingly orchestrate a wonderful and dignified life for my wife. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. No signs are needed to announce this once yearly tribute. Every day at Bridges by Epoch at Sudbury begins and ends with a celebratory acknowledgement that ‘we’re going to make this the best day of your life’. Thank you and God bless everyone at Bridges.

I am happy to say that when my mom cut the ribbon as the first resident to move into this new facility in the summer of 2018, I never thought our family's experience with Bridges in Sudbury would be at the same level as it is today. As a home care nurse for a local agency, I have been into most of the assisted living and memory care facilities in the surrounding area. I have a very high bar set for my mom and Bridges in Sudbury has exceeded my expections. While my mom has had a slow and steady decline in her almost 4 years at Bridges, her journey has been supported by the amazing staff, many of which have been there since the day she walked in. She is well cared for socially, emotionally and physically. She enjoys the frequent entertainers that come to perform for the residents, loves the top notch food prepared by Chef Gary and most of all, she is content and safe in her environment. The staff care for her as one of their own. Communication from Bridges staff has always been excellent from the amazing Dawn B., Wellness Director, to the Abbott nursing and support staff who reach to me when my mom needs a new nightgown or personal care items. They note subtle changes in Mom and can identify when a medical intervention needs to take place. They handled COVID with amazing grace and strength, despite the enormous stress placed on them. I could not see my mom for 3 months because of COVID and although it was the most difficult 3 months, I knew her needs were being met, she was safe, and that I would see her on the other side of the COVID shutdown. If your family is at this difficult juncture in life when you have to start looking for a place for your loved one with memory loss, I highly suggest scheduling a visit and tour at Bridges by Epoch in Sudbury!

The workers there are fantastic, especially the black-haired girl. When my grandmother fell, she was there to help her. My grandmother talks about her all the time. I hope you give her a raise!

I joined Bridges in Sudbury just about a year and a half ago. This has been the most rewarding job Ive ever had. Personally meeting each family, helping them through this journey and watching their loved one blossom in our enriching environment. The staff is incredible at what they do on a daily basis, caring for each resident like their own family. I would place any one of my loved ones here and strongly recommend Bridges at Sudbury.

We did an extensive search for the right place for Memory Care. We tried another, and they do NOT compare. The staff at Bridges know and understand Memory Care, that is their specialty, it is not mixed with other living styles. They get it. The staff is friendly, warm, and compassionate. I have high expectations, and every request has been met. The facility is light, bright, and immaculate. That is tough to find. They want to please, and we are happy. Great to trust and know our loved one is cared for with quality and dignity.

I have worked for Right at Home, a local home care agency for the past 10 years, and have seen many memory care residences open in that period of time and in my opinion Bridges at Sudbury did everything right from the start! Their local community engagement and support has been topnotch including establishing a monthly Memory Café. They are always willing to host special events at their new residence, and the food is just top notch!! They gave a demonstration of the resident engagement software program called Its Never Too Late or IN2L for short and it was nothing but amazing. We have heard great things about them and given the high level of everything it is only fitting that their care is just as excellent!

After our Mom suffered an injury at the residence she was staying at we had to find another quickly. Id recently attended a seminar at Emerson Hospital presented by the Manager of Bridges by EPOCH at Sudbury. My family visited and found it to be lovely and welcoming. Weve experienced a 180 degree difference in care. The Management and Staff are wonderful. The meals are great. The grounds are beautiful, with lovely gardens to walk around and sit outside. It is closer to our homes and were able to visit regularly.

There are certain things that sparked my attention lately. This facility is beautiful and very spacious for the Residents. I think what concerned me was the amount of employee turn overs. For example, a receptionist named Natalie. She was perfection. Always called to make sure the resident had everything they need, she answered the phone so pleasantly, patient and understanding. I do not remember a time she had put me on hold for more than a minute and most importantly she had all the answers. The receptionists now are so dry, not pleasant and seems to not know whats going on majority of the time. CNAs look like they are overworked or just do not want to be there in general. It is a bummer because this place is beautiful and has so much potential. Food is awesome and the rooms are beautiful. Feels home like. Just wish there was better employees there and someone like the previous receptionist.

Moving Mom from an independent living home to a memory care facility was a big adjustment for everyone, but Bridges made the transition easy with their expertise and compassion. Mom quickly became one of the group and is often too busy with all the fun daily activities to talk on the phone! The way they adjusted to the pandemic, keeping everyone safe and entertained was amazing and the staff is so warm and responsive to all of their residents. We have been thrilled with the care she receives at Bridges and knowing that she is engaged with friends and activities means the world to us.
