Overview of Bridgeway Pointe

Bridgeway Pointe provides assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Cincinnati, Ohio. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps a private apartment. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while respite care provides a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Opened in 2000, the community has 92 beds. Its combination of care levels may suit a resident whose support needs change over time or a family caregiver who needs temporary care. Housing includes studios and one-bedroom layouts, with a studio offering one private space and a one-bedroom layout separating the sleeping and living areas.

Medicare is accepted as a payment option for eligible residents. A Walk Score of 38 out of 100 places the area in a car-dependent setting, where most errands require a car or a ride, while transportation services for shopping and events provide a community option for those trips.
