Overview of Professional Staff and Training

In our facility, caregivers typically do not need to be CNA certified in an Assisted Living Facility (ALF) setting. However, in skilled nursing settings, caregivers are CNAs, and we have Registered Nurses (RNs) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) providing round-the-clock nursing care. Our caregivers undergo thorough training and background screening upon hiring. Additionally, all staff members are required to complete monthly classes in Healthcare Academy (HCA) as part of their ongoing training. We have a full-time nurse in the community, as well as a Resident Care Director and a Care Coordinator, who oversee our care team and resident care.

Measures for Resident Safety and Well-being

To ensure the safety and well-being of our residents, we conduct regular wellness check-ins and have front desk staff available during business hours. All side doors are locked and alarmed, and the front door is locked in the evening.

Resources and Support for New Residents

We have designated "resident advocates" who are existing residents that volunteer to help new residents acclimate to life in the community. Additionally, we hold a new resident orientation once a month, attended by all Department Coordinators.

Dining Experience

Our dining room offers two entrée selections for each meal and an "Always Available" menu with alternate options such as sandwiches, burgers, salads, and omelettes. The restaurant-style dining room is open for approximately two hours during each meal time, and the food is well-received by our residents.

Complaint Resolution Process

Upon moving in, residents receive a copy of our Grievance Procedure in the Resident Handbook. We take resident rights seriously and aim to address all complaints in a timely and professional manner. Besides the Resident Care Director, the Executive Director and the local Ombudsman, a resident advocate through the Area Agency on Aging, are available to assist.

Communication with Families

Our community encourages accessibility for family members who have questions or want to check in on their loved ones. We conduct regular care conferences and care plan meetings with resident families and any applicable outside agencies. Many residents have third-party providers involved in their care, such as home care and hospice services, and we collaborate closely with them. Moreover, Bloom Healthcare sends a nurse practitioner four days a week, facilitating convenient medical care for our residents.

Short-term or Respite Stays

Although we have been full for a while, we offer respite stays when space permits. These short-term stays range from 30-90 days. We do not charge a deposit; instead, there is a fixed daily rate of $250/day. The community provides furnishings and linens during these stays.

Pet-friendly Community

Our community is very pet-friendly. We offer two sizes of milkbones at the front desk and always welcome friendly four-legged visitors.

Waitlist Information

Yes, we currently have a waitlist for one-bedroom units.

Vaccination Availability

Residents can receive COVID and flu vaccinations within the community. We partner with our local Safeway for vaccination clinics and have offered vaccines for pneumonia, RSV, flu, COVID, and shingles.

Aging in Place

Residents can age in place in our community, and we encourage it. We conduct re-evaluations after 30 days of residency, every six months thereafter, or if there is any hospitalization or significant change in condition or resident need. Care plans are individualized and continuously developed as we get to know each resident and their routines.

At The Bridge at Longmont

We are able to support our residents’ ability to age in place, meaning we adjust our care and support as their needs change. We have worked hard to earn our wonderful reputation as a valued partner in the Longmont community, serving seniors in need for the last 26 years. We provide good care! We are a loving and engaged, resident and family-oriented community.
