Q: Why Can a Simple Senior Living Renovation Be So Much More Difficult with a Non-Senior Living Contractor?

Anyone who has been through a renovation process, whether in a community or a home, knows that even the simple jobs are much more complicated than initially expected, and that's what makes senior living renovation projects challenging. 

When you factor in residents living in the community, and often a substantial number of them, it adds a unique dynamic to the process. Therefore, even seemingly simple tasks, like updating finishes, or painting a corridor, or a lobby area, demand careful consideration. What may seem easy at first glance can reveal unexpected complexities that require thoughtful planning and execution.

Q: What Makes The Bridge Group Construction Crews Different?

When entering a senior living community, you have to be thoughtful about your approach, particularly around phasing a project when undertaking projects to refresh common areas like corridors, dining rooms, lobbies, bistros, salons, and bathrooms. Careful consideration must be given to the phasing of the project, taking into account its potential impact on the residents. Crafting a well-thought-out phasing plan, thoroughly reviewed by both onsite staff as well as the corporate office, will make for a much more successful and streamlined process.

Q: Why Senior Living?

Fourteen years ago, I set foot into my first assisted living community, and like many others, I held preconceived notions, envisioning a nursing home. However, as soon as I entered and interacted with residents and team members, my perspective shifted drastically. I discovered that senior living is not just a place; it's a wonderful environment where individuals can truly thrive. This experience ignited my passion for the industry, fostering a deep curiosity that propelled me to learn more.

This newfound passion led me to establish a company specializing in services tailored to the senior living sector. I wanted to be a reliable support for communities seeking assistance with updates, repairs, or renovations, and that is how The Bridge Group Construction was established. Our commitment to senior living extends beyond providing services—it's about being a reliable ally who comprehends the industry's unique needs.
