The Bridge Assisted Living at Life Care Center of Columbia

I stopped by The Bridge at Columbia to ask about the facility for a friend whose family member needed placement quickly. I met with the Executive Director, Shannon Clifton, who was very kind and caring and helped me in every way. He showed such compassion for the elderly and was emotionally moved by my friend's situation. While I was there, I took a look around. A singer was performing in the dining area and the residents seemed happy and content. The place was clean, smelled good, and was well decorated and well kept. My dad died in a Life Care Center years ago, and that's when I first learned about Life Care Centers — The Bridge is part of that same organization. Putting him there changed his life compared to other places he'd been. I pray to God that this place is around when it's my time. God bless you guys for taking care of those who can't take care of themselves.

I enjoy spending time with my friend and the new friends I have made at the Bridge. My one recommendation is that someone be available for activities (drive the bus) on weekends. Several residents have expressed an interest in the dinner shows held at my daughter’s theater but no one is available to take them. She has offered a special rate for groups and would also give the driver a free meal and theater ticket.
