Bridle Brook Assisted Living

All of our residents come from a variety of backgrounds and have many life experiences to share with staff and new friends. The average age of our residents is 87. Every Tuesday we go on a lunch outing to a different restaurant in the Mahomet/Champaign-Urbana area. A lot of our residents enjoy playing cards - namely euchre! You can always find groups of residents in our many different common areas doing different activities. We have a group of ladies that can be found regularly walking the halls to get their steps in or utilizing our exercise bikes while watching daytime television. Bingo is also popular along with Wii Bowling. Every Friday we have a "Wine before you dine" happy hour in our front lobby where residents can enjoy an assortment of complimentary wine (non alcoholic choices are also available) as well as a stunning fruit, cheese and cracker tray. Our Soda Shoppe is also a huge hit! Open daily from 1p-3p serving up classic tunes on the juke box and a variety of ice cream.

Here at The Waterford at Bridle Brook we offer an assortment of activities that enrich our resident's lives mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally. We have a baking club that meets once a week to create different goodies for all to enjoy. Several health agencies do monthly informative health talks here. A few of the local churches come by to do Sunday serve, bible studies and the like. Billiards club is a great way to show off your skills on our pool table, or perhaps do a fun craft with our Activity Director. Movies in our theater are always fun with fresh popped popcorn. Every month we have a themed social where families are invited to attend. These are fun and festive with a menu that is sure to impress.

We are conveniently located next to a Carle Clinic and Christie Clinic, as well as the Mahomet Public Library. We offer transportation to these places and many more in Mahomet including Dollar General and Walgreens. Our transportation is offered daily Monday through Friday by appointment. We also travel to Champaign Urbana for stores and appointments as well.

Our Dietary Director has over 20 years experience in the culinary arts and it shows. Every meal is carefully prepared using fresh ingredients and are loaded with flavor. It is true what they say that people "eat with their eyes" first and our dietary department does an excellent job of plating the food - presentation is important. We serve three meals a day in a restaurant style dinning room. Our residents come in and sit wherever they want and our professional dining staff takes their drink and food orders. At each of our three meals there is a "feature" meal and if the resident decides they do not want it they can order off of the "any-time" menu. Some typical breakfast foods include French toast, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, eggs your way, sausage and bacon. Lunch examples include crab cakes with hollandaise sauce, maple glazed sweet potatoes and creamed peas. A supper example is BBQ rib patty sandwich, sweet potato fries and brown sugar baked beans.

Our community has security cameras throughout the common areas of the building. There are handrails along all of the walls. The exterior doors require a personalized four digit pin to gain access to the building. Here at the Waterford at Bridle Brook the safety and security of our residents is a top priority.

We have a community Facebook page that highlights different fun things we have done and announces upcoming events at the community. Our wellness director also maintains contact with families in regards to their loved ones health and care. There is also a monthly newsletter that is distributed.
