Bridgeway Senior Healthcare,
a
family owned and operated compa-
ny, offers a continuum of care in
both Bridgewater and Hillsborough
through its
Avalon Assisted Living
Residences
and
Bridgeway Care
and Rehabilitation
facilities.
Bridgeway Care and Rehabilita-
tion Center
at Hillsborough opened
its doors on May 19, 2012. As a 120
bed sub-acute rehabilitation and
long term care facility,
Bridgeway
offers peace of mind to the families
and patients alike who benefit from
the excellent healthcare services pro-
vided by its caring and highly quali-
fied staff. The array of services
includes orthopedic, neurological
and cardiac rehabilitation as well as
physical, occupational, and speech
therapies provided by Kessler.Core.
Activities of Daily Living suites that
incorporate Kitchen, Laundry Rooms
and Bathrooms along with a LifeSkills
gym, with an automobile and gro-
cery shopping aisle, provide families
and patients with a transitional envi-
ronment that mimics every day tasks
so that independence and confi-
dence are regained upon a return to
home. Within Bridgeway at Hillsbor-
ough, Generations Village, a brand
new secured memory care unit, was
opened on September 4th. This
addresses the growing care needs of
people suffering with a variety of
forms of dementia, including
Alzheimer’s Disease. With the new
facility,
Bridgeway Senior Health-
care
has expanded its number of
employees to over 500, making the
organization one of the largest
healthcare providers in Somerset
County. Bridgeway was just awarded
the Economic Vitality Award for
2012
which acknowledges business-
es making extraordinary economic
contributions to Somerset County for
more than 25 years.
In addition to hands-on-health-
care,
Bridgeway Senior Healthcare
reduces the stress level of individuals
and families by assisting them in nav-
igating the maze of senior resources.
Their website provides a variety of
resources for caregivers, and the
Lunch and Learns held at their various
facilities provide a forum for educat-
ing the public. Partnerships with local
service providers, such as the
Alzheimer’s Assoc, Offices on Aging
&
Disability, and the new Somerset
County
Caregiver’s
Coalition,
enhance their ability to point families
in the right direction based on their
unique set of circumstances.
Bridgeway Senior Healthcare
was established 31 years ago by Mr.
Anthony Pelligrino and Dr. Rebecca
Rivera. With the addition of the sec-
ond generation family owners, sons
Donald Pelligrino and Jon Dugenio,
The Avalon Assisted Living Resi-
dences
were added to the continu-
um of care. They have been widely
recognized for their warm environ-
ment, quality care and enriching
active lifestyle. Many other distinc-
tions and awards have been
bestowed on the facilities of
Bridge-
way Senior Healthcare,
including
recognition as a Healthcare Hero
Finalist and a Top Family-Owned New
Jersey Business as ranked by NJ Biz,
Best of the Best Assisted Living Com-
munity by the Courier News Reader
Polls, as well as Bridgeway at Bridge-
water’s 5-Star ranked skilled nursing
facility, as determined by the agen-
cies of Medicare and Medicaid.
The
Bridgeway Care Centers
and
The
Avalons
are available for touring six
days a week in order to assist families
with current and future healthcare
planning for themselves or their
loved ones.
