We visited Bridgewater for my relative. Everything was fine. I liked it because it offered everything, like if you went into assisted living or needed more help. The staff was good. Their rooms were not as big as the others I've seen.

I was very impressed with them. The person that showed me around Bridgewater was very gracious. She was full of news and answered all my questions thoroughly. They showed me the apartment that I would get if I were to stay there. She showed me what it was like, and it was quite adequate. It has a living room, a bedroom, and a small kitchenette. I have eaten there, and the food is definitely good. It is a nice place. They did have activities, but I wasn't impressed with it. They were not as nice as the activities in the other facility. They have small trips using a bus that goes into town twice a week. You can go on the bus and shop. If there is a good movie on, they will arrange for you to go on a movie show. My problem is I can't find anything that will fit my budget. Everything seems too expensive for me.

My grandparents spent the last 6 years of their lives living in this community. I was absolutely a beautiful place filled with wonderful people (both staff and neighbors). I know it will be quite a while before I am of age to move there but I really love the community and plan to move there. The community is designed for graduated care, meaning that as your level of need is increases, the level of care increases. Also, it is within walking distance of a lovely church and Bridgewater College. Bridgewater Retirement Community is a piece of heaven on earth!!
