Best Friends Approach™

At Bridgepointe at Ashgrove Woods, the Best Friends™ Approach to care is at the heart of everything we do. The Best Friends™ Approach is an internationally recognized model of care designed to create the best possible days for residents. We believe it makes Bridgepointe at Ashgrove Woods a very special place.

Central to the Best Friends™ Approach is the understanding that exceptional care begins with learning, respecting and honoring a person’s life story. Our experienced staff and volunteers are extensively trained in the Best Friends™ Approach. They support residents’ strengths and abilities, encourage participation in meaningful and fun activities, and ultimately bring out the best in each individual.

We know that relationships are the foundation of compassionate care. Personal relationships between caregiver and resident are essential for us to touch the lives of those we serve.

These relationships require the essential elements of friendship:

Respect

Empathy

Support

Trust

Humor

Our adult day program offers specialized dementia care, where participants enjoy the company of peers and meaningful activities within our safe, home-like environment for truly fulfilling days.

Our strong emphasis on relationships creates the loving nature found in our community, bringing residents, family members, staff and volunteers together as neighbors and friends.
