It is conveniently located near its sister community the Avalon Assisted Living Residence at Bridgewater.
At the Bridgeway Care and Rehabilitation Center, staff is here to help individuals get on the road to recovery. It offers comprehensive Physical, Occupational and Speech therapies on-site 7 days a week along with specialized programs for Hip, Knee, Stroke, Cardiac, Neurology, and Pulmonary therapies.
Whether an individual’s needs require short-term care, long-term nursing care, or rehabilitative support post-hospitalization, for aging or chronic illness, the Bridgeway Care and Rehabilitation Center offers high-quality care in a comfortable, compassionate environment. The staff treats every resident with the utmost respect and dignity and strives to help each person function at the highest level possible by providing a variety of skilled services. Patient education and communication are at the core of these services.
An interdisciplinary, experienced care team of nurses, therapists, and certified nursing assistants is accessible around the clock to respond to the unique needs of each patient and resident. A physician directs all care, and the team is in regular contact with families so that they can rest assured that their loved one is happy, comfortable, and receiving the care they require. The nursing team is acclaimed for the quality of service it provides.
The goal is to help patients achieve maximum functional ability and improve their health so they can return home as quickly and safely as possible. All therapies include a coordinated “transition to home” program, virtual rehabilitation, state-of-the-art assistive equipment and technologies, and advanced pain management.
If more support is required before returning home and to activities of daily living, patients can transition easily to one of Bridgeway Senior Healthcare’s Avalon Assisted Living Residences for the additional therapy they need to help get them back to doing what they love. During their stay, residents can enjoy the lovely outdoor courtyards, a robust activities schedule and elegant dining – all designed to enhance their healing process.

Staffing hours breakdown
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / day | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
|
1h 1m per day | ▲ 49% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
|
32m per day | ▼ 43% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
|
2h 29m per day | ▲ 11% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.

|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
|
6m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
|
44m per day | ▲ 52% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
