Helping Adults with Disabilities Thrive in a Warm, Loving Home
At Bridges of Kentucky, we’re all about helping individuals with disabilities live their best lives! For over 15 years, we’ve been providing personalized support and advocacy to help our residents feel independent, confident, and ready to take on the world.
We believe that everyone deserves to belong and to have the support of a loving community. That’s why we work hard to provide our residents with homes that are warm, welcoming, and full of caring caregivers who are dedicated to helping them grow and thrive.
Our family home providers are true superheroes, changing lives every single day. They’re more than just caregivers – they’re advocates, teachers, friends, and family all rolled into one. They help the individuals we serve to develop their skills, explore their interests, and reach their personal goals.
At Bridges of Kentucky, we’re passionate about building positive relationships and helping our residents live more independent lives. So why not join us on this amazing journey? Let’s make a difference together!
We believe all people with disabilities have the right to choose where and with whom they live and work.
Our Mission
Bridges’ Mission is to help provide a loving environment that allows adults with disabilities to live, learn and work where they choose within the community.
Our Values
We have a strong commitment to the rights, dignity and freedom that people with disabilities share with everyone. We believe people with disabilities, with the support of their families, can have the expectation of a full life as participating members of their community.
Our Leadership
At Bridges, our leadership represents an extensive knowledge and experience in Home and Community Based Services, with one very important commonality: a dedication to each person’s unique needs.
Lasting relationships
When it comes to finding the perfect match, we understand that it’s not just about finding someone who ticks all the right boxes on paper. It’s about finding someone who truly understands you, who gets where you’re coming from, and who can anticipate your needs even before you do. That’s why we take a holistic approach to matching caregivers with their clients – we look at everything from personality traits to shared interests to ensure that we’re creating a connection that’s built to last.
And it’s not just about the caregiver – it’s about the living arrangement too. We take the time to understand what kind of environment our clients thrive in, whether that’s a bustling community or a more quiet and secluded space. We also make sure that the physical space is suitable for our clients’ needs, taking into account things like accessibility, safety, and comfort.
At the heart of it all is our commitment to treating each person we work with as an individual, not just a number on a spreadsheet. We take pride in getting to know each person on a personal level, learning about their unique quirks, preferences, and histories. This not only helps us create better matches, but it also allows us to provide more personalized care that truly meets our clients’ needs.
And when we finally make that perfect match – when we see that spark of recognition and connection between caregiver and client – it’s truly a magical moment. It’s the kind of moment that reminds us why we do what we do, and why we’re so passionate about helping people find the care and companionship they deserve.
