Memory Care Center Opens on University Avenue

Bridges by EPOCH, a state-of-the-art memory care assisted living community, is now open on 140 University Avenue in Westwood. The community welcomed its first residents on August 18.

The community is a joint collaboration between EPOCH Senior Living, a provider of senior housing and care since 1997, and National Development, a real estate and investment firm with senior housing expertise.

Located adjacent to University Station, the community addresses the growing need for memory care services amongst seniors.

According to the latest figures from the Alzheimer’s Association, 5.1 million older Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, or approximately one in nine older Americans, and the number is growing. In addition, there are approximately 200,000 Americans younger than 65 living with early-onset Alzheimer’s.

Bridges by EPOCH at Westwood includes 64 suites with four different floor plans and is designed exclusively for residents with memory impairment. The community features soothing lighting, decor and colors, tall ceilings, wide spaces and plenty of windows for natural light, as well as an enclosed, beautifully landscaped courtyard.
