The Bridge at Colorado Springs was very nice. My mother-in-law has a one-bedroom apartment that's a good size with patio out to a yard area. It's a great setup. The staff seems very attentive. There are a lot of them to check on her and take care of things in her apartment. They're great. She seems very satisfied with the food. They have an exercise room and a beauty salon and an area where they have church services and activities.

The Bridge is beautiful but too expensive and doesn't take Medicaid. The rooms are big for studio apartments.

My father was in The Bridge. It's a nice facility, but it's a lot more pricey than what we found elsewhere. His room was very small, and he was dependent on people to provide some help. It was close to my mother's house, so she was able to go over and see him on a daily basis. I would recommend it because they had many levels of care and everything you'd want in a facility.

My father is in assisted living at the Bridge. It's a better place than I have ever seen. My father started with minimum level of care and now has reached level three. The best thing about the place is the staff, they've been really caring people. The food is fabulous. I can't be happier.

The Bridge had a wonderful dining room and lots of activities. I just liked it. Actually, my friends had been there. The staff is very good. Sometimes in the summer time, they had a band that came. They had an indoor swimming pool. The place was absolutely clean.

My mother-in-law is at Arbor Place. One thing we like about this place is that they have both the assisted living and the convalescent care, and they are associated with each other. If you need it, you could move back or forth, and that's really very convenient. They make it very simple. Also the staff seems fine.

My mom spent a month at The Bridge Assisted Living. She really liked it there. Everybody was nice and helpful. The room was good. It had all the activities that the bigger one does. It was excellent.

This was a great facility. It was clean and the staff was very friendly. Whenever we went to visit our grandma we called ahead and were able to order lunch and eat together as a family. The facility was also secure and safe.

I volunteered as a Friendly Visitor to a resident of the facility. On my initial visit, before entering, I was a bit hesitant because of the bad impressions many of these places get. But as I entered the facility was buzzing with activity and everyone there looked pretty happy. My friend's room was nice, but it didn't very much sunlight at all. The place was clean and the residents all looked well taken care of. There were lots of courtyards with lots of plants and foliage for the residents to get outside, and there was plenty of walking room. There were lots of tables lining the halls with books, games and things like that. The staff was a very nice, diverse group of people. They always smiled when passing by and were always very helpful when I had questions or comments.

I am/was a resident of this facility
I came to this facility after a hospital stay due to severe pain that needed managed. It’s a beautiful facility, and the nursing staff for the most part was wonderful and attentive, but the doctor I had was scary. He came in and asked the weirdest questions that made no sense at all and expected answers. When I couldn’t figure out why I was asked if I was going to be a problem for the law(???), or if I was compliant, I didn’t know why he asked such a question. Then he kept telling me that my diagnosis, cancer, was terminal, he didn’t consult with my cancer doctor who told me my cancer was stable! What?!
They had me so medicated that at times I didn’t know who I was talking to or what was going on. I was told I called my son screaming several times due to the medications. The nurses complained that my son, an EMT, thought I was being over medicated, and spoke negatively about me within hearing.
I don’t think I ever want to be under Dr. Wevers care again. His bedside manner was less than caring. I always felt I had to watch what I said. I couldn’t tell him fully how I felt, because he acted so strangely with me and I didn’t trust him.
The facility is great, the food was good, the therapists exemplary as well as most of the nursing staff, but I won’t be back if Dr Wever is my doctor there.

My husband was admitted on Saturday, today is Sunday. No side bars on bed. Was told they were restrictive to the patient. What? My husband has bone cancer in the lower back and right hip. An aide helping him get out of bed flung his leg, causing him great pain. His medication is not available. They contract with a pharmacy 45 miles away. Had to bring in his medications from home. It is now 7:45am Sunday, he still has not received his medications. He has asked for them since 4:30am this morning. He is asking to come home after one day. People seem nice enough when asking them questions. So far after one day am not pleased with what I am seeing or hearing.

From the hospital, Mom was transferred to Life Care Center, where she stayed for six weeks. They didn't know that my mom had not been on insulin before she was in the hospital. They didn't think that it was something they should teach her, and they assumed that she already knew. When they were releasing her, I told them that she doesn't know how to do insulin herself. So they kept her a couple of extra weeks and worked on that very hard to make sure that she knew. They switch on a sliding fill, which I knew she wouldn’t be able to remember how to do because the fall had taken her procedural memory. Then for the flex pen, what they did was they wrote out a detailed instruction of what she should do in the right order and had it laminated. She kept it right beside her for when she's using her flex pen.
The building that my mom was in was half rehab and half long-term care. She was in one hall, the nurses were in the center, and the other hall was the long-term care. One of things that was nice about it was that they brought the entertainment into the dining hall, and everyone could go see it, and not just the ladies in the rehab but also the people form the long-term care could go as well. Meals were great, and they usually had two options for people to choose from. I really like Life Care Center a lot, and I thought they were really a good facility. However, on the rehab side, when they said you had to be released, you had to be released.
