The Bridge at Alamosa

My mom was a resident at the Bridge during the last months of her life. The care she received was excellent! The staff accommodated her every need often going above and beyond to care for her. They were very polite, respectful, professional, flexible, resilient and exhibited high levels of patience during adverse times. The level of quality care and concern they provided was beyond my expectations and certainly better than I could have personally maintained. They not only cared for her but they became her friends. Many times, after seeing to her needs they would stay, visit and engage in numerous conversations which made her feel good. Mom often referred to them as her second family. When I would come to visit mom, I often entered the room to find her and staff members involved in conversation and laughter. I was confident she was in good hands during the times I could not be there. The night she became very ill and her passing was imminent I was 300 miles away when they called me. Upon arriving I learned that a number of staff members stayed with and comforted her for hours after their shift had ended and did so of their own volition. I will forever be grateful for their kindness, true concern and care they provided mom.I would definitely, highly recommend The Bridge to provide quality care for seniors.

My Mom is at the Bridge and we couldnt be more pleased. They have taken excellent care of her, very patient and caring. There are so many activities for the residents, movies, outings, ice cream socials, bingo, family nights, exercise classes for all levels. Even an indoor pool. The staff treats her with respect, patience, and kindness. I'd give them more than 5 stars if I could.

This is for Delphine, Harriet, Ed, Frankie, and Margaret Ann and so many others who asked me to put their 5 cents in and give us a five. Thanks to so many in this home and others all accross the world who give to make the final laps in people's lives a magnificent finish. God sees you and the love you have in your hearts and spirit. Carry on! There's more work to be done! :)

I am a former employee with the Bridge at Alamosa and from the residents to the staff members I have nothing but the best to say. Working at the Bridge has shaped my career in healthcare more than I can put into words and has left a lasting impression. I loved that we were anything institutional healthcare. We got to dress Semi-Professionally, we NEVER talked down to a resident; we showed them RESPECT and treated them with dignity and got down on their level. We were ENCOURAGED in interact and dine with our residents and we became one another's family. During my employment I was a college student and I wasn't from the San Luis Valley. I had to work Thanksgiving and my RESIDENTS invited me to THIER thanksgiving lunch because they saw me as an extension of their family. The Bridge set the bar so high in Assisted Living when I moved and started working for another company I was disappointed that not all facilities were run in this fashion. They take time hiring QUALITY employees who are in the healthcare field for the right reasons. Working for a facility that employs people who don't have the residents best interest at heart you can see it in the residents eyes and feel it the moment you walk into the facility. And the food served was superb! Valerie would do 'Cooking Lessons' with the residents in the home kitchens. If there was any kind of dietary restrictions she could accommodate and make AMAZING entre for our residents. Including a BLENDED SOFT FOOD DIET! That is talent right there!!!If I hadn't had to move for educational purposes I would have NEVER left employment at the Bridge at Alamosa. It is rare to find a job that you enjoy, rarer to have a supervisor and co-workers that want help you to better your self. And most of all a family environment that enriches the quality of life for everyone involved.
