What is the difference between Westside Garden Plaza and The Bridge at Garden Plaza?

The key difference between Westside Garden Plaza and The Bridge at Garden Plaza lies in the level of care and services provided. Westside Garden Plaza is an independent living community designed for active seniors who want to enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle with access to amenities such as dining, activities, and social opportunities, all while living independently. In contrast, The Bridge at Garden Plaza focuses on assisted living, offering personalized support for seniors who need help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and meal preparation. This community provides a higher level of hands-on care while still promoting independence and a homelike environment.

Is Westside Garden Plaza a nursing home or skilled nursing facility?

No. Westside Garden Plaza is an independent living community, not a skilled nursing facility. We offer a vibrant and engaging environment for individuals who are capable of living independently but seek the comfort, amenities, and social opportunities of community living. Our beautiful community features private apartments and services tailored to enhance your lifestyle.

Is skilled nursing available should care needs change?

Westside Garden Plaza and The Bridge are part of a continuum-of-care campus that also offers therapy services and skilled nursing care so you can receive additional care as needed while being close to home. Our therapy center offers outpatient physical, occupational, speech and respiratory therapies with specially trained therapists at an additional cost. And, should you need to recover from a hospital stay, need IV therapy or need to transition to complete personal care, Westside Village Nursing Center, our skilled nursing facility, is located next door.
