What Makes The Bridges at Edinburg Different?
Superb Reputation for Quality of Care
The Bridges at Edinburg enjoys a superb reputation for the quality of care. Over 80% of new residents are referred to us by existing residents or their families. Check out our Google Reviews.
Air Purification System
An “IWAVE” air purification system has been installed in both of our buildings. This IWAVE system is a self-cleaning, bi-polar ionization generator for actively treating a building’s air quality by:
• Killing mold, bacteria and viruses.
• Reducing allergens, odors, smoke, static electricity and other airborne particles.
• And is the same technology used in hospitals and even the White House to clean the air constantly in order to remove particles and droplets BEFORE they can spread.
Plentiful Activities and Interaction
The Bridges at Edinburg has two activity programs, one in Memory Care and another for Traditional Care.
Clubhouse
The Bridges has built a new “Clubhouse” built specifically for resident activities. This is a 2,000 square foot building with a 70 in screen that contains over 4,000 programs specifically for seniors:
• Music and hymns
• Brain games to stimulate the mind including “How much did it cost?”
• Movies and TV shows from the 50s, 60s, and 70s
• Art
• Occupational therapy
• Training programs for staff
There is a piano and sound system for parties. Finally, this is where the residents get together to play cards, dominoes, and generally have parties.
Less Expensive than Other Assisted Living Homes
The Bridges at Edinburg costs less than other assisted living homes. We charge a FIXED fee per month, even when residents progress in their needs. Other assisted living facilities charge “a la carte,” meaning they start with a base charge, and increase their monthly fees as resident’s needs increase.
Locally Owned
Being locally owned and operated allow us to work in a more personalized way with our residents and their families, to meet their individual and financial needs.
Only one block away from Edinburg Regional Medical Center
Emergencies can be met more efficiently.

Visual Arts
The imagination and creativity of older adults can flourish in later life, helping them to realize unique potentials. Art experiences can supply them meaning and purpose in supportive, nonthreatening ways. Our classes are designed to work with each one of our seniors according to their skill level.
