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.

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.

Good concept, something is missing

The building is beautiful and the concept is great. I love that it is more medical than most places and they don't nickel and dime you for care, it's all included, even taking care of and administering the drugs! There are many caring staff in the neighborhoods, but there is something missing! The interaction is a little flat and the communication is bad. I reached out to ask questions about my mother's health and they never got back to me, and in fact after I reached out a second time, I felt the higher up people

He had good care there

The place is very new and it's like waking into a resort. There is no odor, it smells and looks clean. They are pretty on top of taking care of all the residents. One of the things we were a little disappointed with was the food. When my father first moved in, the food was great, but then they had a change in chefs and the quality went down. We didn't feel the food they were giving was nutritious or healthy enough. They did have a lot of great activities, although my father didn't often participate. We felt like wh
