You have spent a lifetime building your independence. Whether you are tending to your garden in Exton or managing your own schedule, your autonomy is part of who you are. However, maintaining a large home can slowly become a quiet burden.
Sometimes, early memory changes can lead to a growing silence in your daily life. You might feel like you have to choose between staying in a home that feels too big or moving to a place where you lose control. At Arbor Terrace Exton, we believe you shouldn't have to choose.
The Bridges program at Arbor Terrace Exton is a unique neighborhood designed specifically for people like you. It is a place for those who want to reclaim their social spark and daily freedom. You aren't giving up your lifestyle; you are simply finding a better way to live it.
The "Bridge" concept is exactly what it sounds like. It serves as an intentional middle ground between assisted living and memory care. This neighborhood is designed for active seniors who value their intellectual engagement but might notice subtle changes in their memory.
At The Arbor Company, one of our core values is "Deep Connections." In our Exton neighborhood, this means we focus on who you are as an individual. We provide the support you need without the restrictive environment you fear.
FAQ: Is this just a fancy nursing home? I don’t need care. The Bridges neighborhood is about lifestyle and community, not clinical routines. It feels like a boutique neighborhood where neighbors look out for one another and every day is filled with purpose.
We believe in creating "delightful surprises" that honor your history. Through our Engaged Lifestyle approach, you are the architect of your day. Activities are not just assigned by staff; they are chosen and led by the residents who live here.
Many of our residents were initially reluctant to move. However, they quickly found their "tribe" within the Bridges program. We focus on fostering meaningful relationships so that no one feels like they are navigating memory changes alone.
FAQ: What if I don’t make friends easily? Is there support for social integration?
A: Our team is trained to help neighbors connect over shared interests. Whether it is a shared love for local history or a favorite hobby, we provide the gentle "bridge" needed to start new friendships.
Many residents find their spark again after moving into the Bridges neighborhood. One resident, who was once hesitant to leave her home near Marsh Creek State Park, now leads our weekly garden committee. She says she finally has the time to enjoy her passions because she isn't worried about home maintenance.
Imagine a typical afternoon in our neighborhood. Around 3 p.m., you might find a group of neighbors gathered for a social hour, discussing the latest book club pick. Others might be returning from a local outing to Main Street Exton for a bit of shopping and fresh air. These moments are where real life happens.
We understand that you don't want to be told what to do. At Arbor Terrace, you have the freedom to choose your own daily schedule and meal times. You decide how much or how little you want to participate in community events.
Our Dining with Dignity® program is a perfect example of how we prioritize your independence. This program is designed to help you enjoy delicious, chef-prepared meals with ease and privacy.
FAQ: How much control do I have over my daily schedule and choices?
A: You have total control. Your apartment is your private sanctuary, and your time is yours to spend however you wish.
FAQ: What kind of training do staff receive for early-stage memory care?
A: Our team receives specialized training to support residents with early-stage memory loss while maintaining resident dignity. We focus on communication techniques that empower you rather than diminish your voice.
Moving is a big step, and we are here to listen to your individual needs. We want to know what makes you feel at home, from your favorite morning coffee to your preferred evening routine.
You are encouraged to bring your own furniture and cherished items to make your new apartment truly feel like home. Whether it is your favorite armchair or family photos, these pieces help tell your story.
FAQ: Can I try it out before committing?
A: Yes, we offer short-term stays and trial periods. This allows you to experience the Bridges program first-hand without a long-term commitment.
