BridgeCreek Memory Care is deficiency free for the second time!

BridgeCreek’s staff are very proud of our recognition by the state to receive another Deficiency Free survey. It validates our dedication to our residents and their families to provide exceptional care and services.

As important as the survey results are, some of the statements the surveyor made such as, "I have observed the staff caring for your residents like family” and, "It's apparent that your residents are well cared for and everyone is aware of their needs and working hard to accommodate them!" were great to hear.

How often does that happen from one of the most established and seasoned surveyors in Oregon? With the help of our staff, families, and other engaged supporters we'll continue to develop our program based on the changing needs and expectations of our residents.

Everyone at BridgeCreek is excited about 2013 and our expansion of a new wing. It's going to a worthy journey wherever our residents take us, and as long as we let them lead the way, we know we'll get there and the view will continue to be golden.

Ageia's "Reach Out" Program—adding the human touch to our physician communication

Ageia senior living communities and their at-home care business locations have a unique program, reaching out to our professionals with photos and personal information for any resident who would like to participate.

Our residents' physicians are a very important part of our residents' lives. From time to time, we like to inform each resident's doctor just how much he or she is appreciated. The physicians and their staff enjoy receiving a photograph and some information on how their patient is doing, especially if they referred their patient to us. Below are some examples of resident photos with brief information that the resident wanted to share. Families and residents also love our "reach out" program.

Ageia strives hard to make every resident, family, and physician know just how special they are. This is one of the many ways we honor our residents and physicians. Click here to see the photos.

Having my grandmother at Bridgecreek has allowed me to have a life again and return to work. I do not worry about her care. I know that she is being taken care of. The caregivers are wonderful! I work in a skilled nursing facility, so I know it's difficult to retain good care staff. These ladies are the BEST!! Bev, Danni, and Alisha have done excellent hiring and training and putting together a great team of caregivers! I love Bridgecreek! —M. Wyse

Bridgecreek has everything I was looking for in the way my father is cared for. My father was coming back from being wheelchair-bound, highly medicated, and treated badly at another home. Since he as been at Bridgecreek, he has overcome the pain (physically), and mentally he has learned to trust that no one will harm him. When I see him, he's happy and talks a lot about his living arrangement. That took the staff at Bridgecreek awhile to work extra hard to get him to trust them. Even though I do not have the disease and hope it skips me, I would hope that if my family had to choose, it would be BRIDGECREEK for my care.

I appreciate all that you do for my father in his care...I thank you for allowing me a life and knowing it's okay.

His loving daughter, JoAnna
