Bridgewater Assisted Living – Tucson offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, supported by clinical protocols that accommodate residents who wander day or night, present elopement risk, exhibit combative or other behavioral challenges, stay up all night, or require wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, or diabetic management ranging from oral medications to sliding-scale insulin. The team is experienced in caring for adults younger than 60 as well as those living with advanced stages of dementia, allowing couples or family members with very different needs to remain on the same campus.
Clinical supervision is delivered by an RN or LPN with a nurse on site around the clock and another on call after hours. All staff members complete background checks, and the building remains secured through 24-hour staffing, door alarms, wander-guard technology, fenced outdoor areas, and in-room pull cords. A licensed activity director adapts engagement programs to each resident’s abilities. On-site medical providers rotate for podiatry, audiology, dentistry, and behavioral-health visits, and a therapy room is available for rehab sessions. Personal-care aides supply full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can handle mobility support ranging from simple walker supervision to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for those who are bed-bound.
Accommodations include studio and one-bedroom layouts that may feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished setups, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option for residents to paint or decorate their space. Regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry are included, and some units house their own washer and dryer for added autonomy. Because floor plans vary, not every apartment contains every listed feature, so families are encouraged to confirm specifics during a tour.
Meals are prepared by the culinary team and served on a set menu or cooked to order, with snacks available throughout the day, in-room tray service when needed, and a private dining room for family events. Diets can be modified for gluten-free, vegetarian, chopped, puréed, or thickened-liquid requirements. Independent-living residents on campus can add medication-management monitoring, housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan to suit their own routines while maintaining more self-directed living.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty salon, exercise room, wellness center, internet, communal gardens, religious services, a library, and special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach medical appointments and local errands when needed.
