The Bridge at Mount Vernon is an assisted-living community that centers its services on practical medical support. Residents can receive wound care, oxygen therapy, and meal plans tailored to special diets. Diabetics are accommodated whether they manage their condition with oral medications, injections, or a sliding-scale regimen. Team members are also trained to support individuals living with mild dementia, helping residents maintain as much independence as possible while ensuring essential health needs are met.
Care delivery is backed by an RN or LPN on staff, a nurse on call around the clock, and 24-hour security with staff on site. Emergency alerts can be triggered through in-room pull cords or a personal emergency response system. On-site professionals provide incontinence care, medication management, memory care, ambulatory care, hospice services, and regular visits from occupational therapists, physical therapists, nurses, and a podiatrist. Assistance with activities of daily living goes as far as full help with bathing, dressing, and toileting, with partial help available at mealtimes when needed. Mobility support ranges from standby supervision for walkers to one- or two-person transfers, full Hoyer-lift transfers, and bed-bound care.
Residences may feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and access to cable service. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are included to help residents maintain a tidy living space. Availability of these features varies by unit, so prospective residents should verify specific details during a visit.
Dining follows an on-order approach that allows residents to choose meals at each sitting. Snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Dietary modifications and management are offered to align meals with physician directives or personal preferences.
Amenities include resident parking, an outdoor smoking area, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, internet access, an on-site library, special-interest clubs, and regular religious services. Scheduled transportation is provided, and the community is close to public transit for additional travel options. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
