Bridges® at Mashpee Senior Living Community Celebrates 10th Anniversary

MASHPEE, MA – June, 2025 – Celebrating 10 years of providing personalized and compassionate care to its residents, Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee held two special events on June 11th to mark its 10th Anniversary.

The events gathered senior care professionals, residents, families, team members, and local dignitaries to commemorate a decade of memory care services to the community.

The festive afternoon featured a specially crafted "Golden Memories" cocktail, passed appetizers, and the elegant sounds of a live trio. A highlight of the celebration was the creation of a time capsule containing photos and other Bridges memorabilia. The capsule will be buried in the main courtyard to be unearthed in another 10 years. The festivities culminated with a beautiful 10-year anniversary cake. Earlier in the day, senior care professionals from around the region attended a gathering to recognize the anniversary.

A particularly poignant moment of the afternoon ceremony was the special presentation made to Mashpee Selectman’s Board Member John Cotton, whose late mother, Jane, was a resident of the community from March through November of 2022. Mr. Cotton was presented with a framed picture of the Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee building incorporating images of his late mother. The gift was signed by the entire Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee management team.

"Celebrating ten years of Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee is a testament to the unwavering dedication of our incredible team and the trust placed in us by the families we serve," said Edmund A. Tucker Sr. C.H.A., Executive Director, Bridges® by EPOCH at Mashpee. "It was especially meaningful to present Mr. John Cotton with a tribute to his mother, Jane. Her time with us, like that of every resident, enriches our community and underscores our profound commitment to providing an environment where individuals with Alzheimer's and other dementias can thrive."
