The Arbor at BridgeMill

Vickie

We selected The Arbor at BridgeMill for my mother. They offer a lot of opportunities for seniors to be involved, to meet others, and to call it their new home. The staff has been wonderful. The activities they offer are movies, exercise classes, yoga classes, and water aerobics. They have a gym and a movie theater. They do meet and greet for new members. They do afternoon gatherings with snacks or happy hour. They have music every Thursday in the afternoon. They offer transportation to doctors' appointments, hospital, grocery stores, shopping, and the library. It offers a lot for the seniors living there. My mom is 95 and is in independent living. One of her first comments was, 'Everybody here has a walker,' and she got it. She is on the second floor, and she tries to take the stairs whenever she can. She is active as she can be at 95. She has limited sight and her hearing is compromised, but she takes care of her apartment. She likes to cook a little bit for herself when she doesn't want to go down to the dining hall. She has moved from another state that she has lived in all of her life, so it is an adjustment there. It has been hard, but she is making a real effort. I think they are doing everything they can to make her feel at home. They have two pools: indoor and outdoor.
