Our Respite Program provides for the short-term care of your loved one.

• Designed to give caregivers temporary relief from the demands and responsibilities of taking care of a loved one,
• Bridgewater’s staff of trained professionals provide all of the personal care and nursing assistance needed in a secure, friendly atmosphere.

The Hospice Program at Bridgewater is designed to

• Support both the resident and the family with skilled and compassionate care by a staff that is thoroughly trained to respond to the special needs of our hospice residents.
• We provide medical management, skilled nursing care, comfort care and therapies.
• Medication management

We always encourage family support and involvement in the resident’s care. Our goal is to provide the services needed to improve the quality of life for terminally ill residents so that they can live the remainder of their lives as comfortably and peacefully as possible.

Palliative Care at Bridgewater provides

• Supportive care to residents who have chosen to forego further active medical care for various reasons.
• We treat the symptoms of a life-threatening illness, keep the resident as comfortable and pain free as possible and assist the family whenever needed.

Upon admission, the treatment team evaluates the resident’s condition and needs, and devises a Comprehensive Care Plan detailing each discipline’s interventions to meet the resident’s holistic needs. The goal is to promote the resident’s health and function at the maximum attainable levels. The team meets quarterly and upon any significant change in the residents’ status. The resident and /or their family are invited to attend these meetings to take part in the comprehensive care plan.
