Who We Are

Bridges Community Services believes in caring for people where they are. Nursing home and assisted living residents go through many changes, and they shouldn’t have to face it alone.

How it Works

Bridges Community Services provides licensed, master’s level counselors to nursing home and assisted living facilities to give confidential counseling for depression, anxiety, grief, adjustment difficulties, and other challenges. We take care of all of the billing and scheduling. There is never any cost to the facility.

About Us

Before starting Bridges Community Services, our founder worked as a nursing home administrator. She often saw staff rarely have time to sit down and talk with the residents. Many times, as we age, we can develop depression and anxiety, we experience grief and loneliness, and we need a human connection.

Bridges Community Services was started to help people living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities to get mental health services to help them process the changes in their lives, help with their depression and anxiety, and give them an outlet and someone to talk to. Having an hour dedicated to connecting with someone who cares makes such a huge difference in our client's lives!

Our clients eat better, sleep better, and most importantly, feel better. Our purpose is to help as many older adults as possible when they transition to living in a nursing home or assisted living facility.
