Question 1

Why is Bridge important for aging services?

Accepted Answer

Social services are more important than ever — especially for older adults — but the infrastructure supporting them hasn’t changed in decades. Services are still delivered through paper forms, phone calls, and in-person visits. That makes access difficult for the people who need help most — and creates a constant administrative burden for the local staff trying to support them.

Bridge exists to relieve that pressure.

Question 2

How does Bridge help people in my community?

Accepted Answer

Bridge helps older adults engage earlier, access more, and avoid crisis.

Our platform has been designed for organizations to:

• Make it easier for older adults, families, and caregivers to access services.

• Older adults can easily get help through simple texting—no logins, no portals, no complicated phone trees. They can find information, register for events, or get assistance quickly and conveniently.

Question 3

Do seniors really text?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Seniors do text — we’ve seen it firsthand. Check out our success stories where we share real insights.

Question 4

How can Bridge benefit my organization?

Accepted Answer

We primarily work with Councils on Aging, Area Agencies on Aging, and aging-focused nonprofits, with plans to expand into broader government-funded community service organizations.

Bridge reduces inbound calls and paperwork, automatically answers FAQs, supports benefit applications, tracks outreach, and reaches those who might not respond to emails or phone calls.
