Overview of The Bridge at Ooltewah

The Bridge at Ooltewah offers assisted living and nursing care in Ooltewah, TN, with 108 beds. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident lives in an apartment. Nursing care provides nursing support for residents with more involved health needs, so having both care types in one community may suit someone whose needs grow over time.

Housing includes studios, one bedroom apartments, and two bedroom apartments. A studio gives one person a single private space, while a two bedroom apartment can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a separate bedroom. Caleb Lee serves as administrator, and Ooltewah ALF Investors operates the community.

Residents can use the wellness center, beauty salon and barber shop, cafe and ice cream shop, and landscaped patio area. Chef prepared meals are available in the dining room or in a resident’s room, and a private dining room is available for family events. Fitness classes, art workshops, excursions, and life enrichment activities provide scheduled ways to participate seven days a week. A Walk Score of 40 places the area in the car dependent band, so most errands require a car or a ride for a resident who no longer drives.
