Frequently Asked Questions

The Bridges neighborhood at Arbor Terrace Montgomery is a specialized program for seniors in the early stages of cognitive change, including mild memory loss or early dementia. It sits between traditional assisted living and full memory care, offering a specialized environment that supports cognitive health, routine, and meaningful relationships.

Assisted living supports seniors who need some daily help but do not require cognitive-focused programming. Memory care is a fully secured neighborhood for those living with more advanced Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Bridges fills the space in between, with purposeful programming and a supportive environment for residents in the earlier stages of cognitive change, so families can avoid earlier or more abrupt transitions.

Bridges is a meaningful fit for seniors experiencing mild memory loss, early-stage dementia, or mild cognitive impairment who would benefit from cognitive engagement, consistent routines, and specialized support, while still maintaining a meaningful degree of independence.

Programming includes cognitive engagement activities, interactive light-based experiences, music and creative arts, gentle fitness adapted to residents’ abilities, memory-friendly games, and small group conversations. Every activity is designed to be enjoyable first, with cognitive and emotional benefits built in naturally.

Residents of our Bridges neighborhood enjoy a dedicated dining experience with the adaptations of ourDining with Dignity® program, which adapts menus, plate design, and mealtime support to each resident's individual needs. Meals remain an enjoyable, social part of every day.

Our team partners closely with families to understand each resident’s history and preferences, which directly shape programming. We also offer Dementia Live®, an immersive empathy experience offered through our partnership with the AGE-u-cate Training Institute, which helps families and team members truly connect with what it means to live with dementia. And we make it easy to stay close to daily life, whether you live nearby or across the country.

Yes. One of the most meaningful advantages of Arbor Terrace Montgomery is that both our Bridges neighborhood and our memory care neighborhood are on the same campus. When a resident's care needs evolve, they can transition within a familiar environment, with familiar team members, rather than moving to a new community.

Every caregiver in our Bridges and memory care neighborhoods is specifically trained in dementia care. That training, paired with the deep familiarity our team builds with each resident over time, is one of the most important factors in high-quality cognitive care.

The best first step is a conversation with our team. Call us or schedule a tour, and we will walk you through the neighborhood, answer your questions, and help you understand whether Bridges is the right fit, with no pressure and no assumptions.
