a nice community with room for improvement.

My loved one now needs extra assistance so she pays over [fee removed] per month. She no longer eats food, but will drink Ensure. I have to buy the Ensure myself. This aggravates me and is the reason for the lower score on #5 and #7.

Review for Bridges by Epoch at Andover

More staff would be great. If they could preventmy loved one from falling so much, it would really help. Also, there needs to be better communication between the departments. Signals have gotten crossed/miscommunicated several times. Everyone is very nice and caring.

I visited this facility

I went to Bridges by EPOCH at Andover. The space was designed very well, and I like that their prices are all together. There's no calculating involved. The people were amazing.

I talked to a few of the residents and they said the food is great. Everybody seemed very happy. The atmosphere was very pleasant. I did not see any activity. Everyone was just finishing up lu…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mom has moved into Bridges by EPOCH at Andover. There are several things I like about it. The staff there has been excellent; I can't ask for any better staff. My mom is getting better at getting around on her own now, but in the beginning, she has trouble just getting up to use the bathroom and stuff, so I got to call them over and told them I need help and if I could have somebody take her to the bathroom, and they said, 'No problem.' They are really good about that stuff. The physical facility …

Good Communication

I thought the staff did a great job of communicating with the family. They reached out to us virtually every day, with pictures and emails. They went out of their way to keep the my loved one in the facility, even though she had some behaviors that were difficult to manage. They really went above and beyond to help. We did have to provide some private aides to assist with that, but hey helped us get everything arranged. I think they provided excellent care given the circumstances of the pandemic. It was not the eas…

The Review of The Bridges

I would recommend others look at this community for their loved ones. This is brand new, and less residents for the care takers. The food was good to start with, then the food went downhill when they lost the chef. I don't know how it is currently.
