By Cyndi Braun

Looking for caring staff, beautiful accommodations, and a fun environment to enjoy your senior years? Look no further. The Arbor at BridgeMill is a place youll love to call home.

On any given day, the community is bustling. Residents are busy meeting friends for breakfast, swimming in the saltwater pool, participating in social activities, and gathering in one of many lounge areas.

The Arbor at BridgeMill is beautiful on the outside, but what makes it even more special is what you find when you walk inside a lively community of residents who feel like family. Residents build friendships and enjoy all the social activities that we offer, said Jerry Rick, executive director of The Arbor. Most importantly, our staff provides an extraordinary level of care and service. We call it The Arbor Way.

The 15-acre community offers both charm and luxury for individuals looking to transition into the next phase of retirement living.

Independent Living
Seniors who live independently but desire the social aspects of a community enjoy beautiful courtyards, comfortable areas to catch up with friends and family, and amazing dining. They participate in an active social calendar and are free from tedious chores.

Independent residents can choose from a variety of options, including a two-bedroom cottage with a front porch, walk-in closets, all appliances, and a garage, or an apartment with an open floor plan, eat-in kitchen, granite countertops, full-size appliances, and a balcony.

Assisted Living
For residents who need a little more assistance, the community offers luxury assisted living accommodations. Each suite has a wireless emergency call system, so residents can easily summon help. Highly trained staff members support residents 24 hours a day.

Residents enjoy regular housekeeping and laundry services, delicious dining, a separate secured courtyard with beautiful landscaping, and a full social calendar. Four levels of assisted living care ensure residents receive assistance tailored to individual needs. The resident care director, with the residents and family, determines the appropriate level of care by regularly assessing each residents abilities and needs.

Memory Care
Memory care suites include the same comforts as assisted living. Memory care residents have access to their own private courtyard where they can enjoy the outdoors in a secure area. Staff members receive unique, multilevel cognitive care training, so they have the skills to interact positively with people experiencing memory loss. They pair this training with individualized programs proven to improve quality of life.

For residents requiring dining assistance, The Arbor offers their award-winning Dining with Dignity program. This program uses preparation methods to create food options that hold the same nutritional value as a regularly prepared meal but in a form that allows residents to maintain independence and dignity while eating. Chefs complete special training to learn how to incorporate ingredients for easier chewing and swallowing. Meals are offered in an elegant plate-and-table presentation.

This sweet couple moved to The Arbor last year. Married for 72 years, Robert and Gloria Lee have three children, seven grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren. They are thrilled to be part of this community because it offers exactly what they were looking for in senior living.

We fell in love with this place as soon as we saw it, said Robert. The first thing we liked was not being tied up in the hustle and bustle of a downtown area and not being in a high-rise. We like the fresh air and being in the foothills of the mountains. You can walk around, and you feel safe.

Robert and Gloria have family close by and enjoy when their children visit. They are independent seniors but are comforted to know that the community offers transportation services should they ever need it.

Weve met so many lovely people here. The atmosphere is refreshing, and everyone is so friendly, said Gloria.
