"We looked at Bridges by EPOCH at Sudbury. It was exceptional. It strictly does memory care and they had round-the-clock nursing. The room was very nice. Mom's going to bring in her own furniture. It looks good, and it looks like it's going to be a nice fit for her since it is a secure facility. They had a beautiful garden with raised beds. Bridges strictly focus on memory care from early dementia to even hospice care. I think it's going to be good and they'll be able to transition her from one phase of her disease to another, and that'll be a good thing for her and a good thing for us, too. They have all sorts of programs, whether it's tactile programs like gardening. When I went in yesterday, they had a three-piece band and some of the residents were dancing. I think that's a really good thing and my mother was a ballroom dancer. I think it's going to be good. They have painting, they do lots of puzzles, and what's nice about Bridges is that my sister can bring her dog in and she'll just sit right on my mom's lap, and I'm sure everyone else there will fall in love with her, too. We as a family can go in and sit and play cards with her and work on a puzzle. We can sit in the garden with her. I know it's more costly at Bridges, but I think the reward is going to be immense. The food smelled really good. Each one of the pods or the wings of the building only has 18 residents, so it's a very small, intimate group and every pod has its own restaurant bistro. My mom is going to have a pureed diet, so I'm not quite sure how that's going to work, but they will take care of that for her. The staff I met was fantastic. It has a dedicated staff and small units and an open concept where people are always being looked at. I like that during the evening, they check on all the residents one time an hour. That was a huge plus for us."
