Bridges® by Epoch at Trumbull is a memory care and assisted living community on Reservoir Ave in Trumbull, Connecticut, about ten years into operation. Adults 55 and older are the intended residents.

The community is pet-friendly, housekeeping is included, and religious services are available.

State inspections have touched on infection prevention and control and care planning and documentation. Trish McKay is the Executive Director, with nearly 30 years in memory care and skilled nursing. Occupancy sits around 69.8%.

Bridges® by Epoch at Trumbull is built specifically for people living with dementia, with a certification, named programs, and a decade of operation to match that focus.
