Founder
Hi, I’m Lauren, founder of Bridgegate Senior Placement.
My passion for helping seniors began at a young age, watching my mom dedicate her career to hospice care. I always knew I wanted to follow in her footsteps and make a difference in the lives of older adults.
After college, I spent six years working in home care, where I found so much purpose in building relationships with seniors and their families, listening to their stories, and understanding their needs.
When my mom and I founded Bridgegate, we wanted to bring that same compassion and personal connection to helping families navigate senior living decisions with confidence and peace of mind.
-Lauren Tomlinson
Co Founder
I’m proud to have founded Bridgegate alongside my daughter, built on our shared passion for serving older adults with dignity and compassion. After more than 22 years in hospice care, I’ve seen firsthand the difference genuine care and human connection can make for families during life’s most challenging moments. As Bridgegate grows, our commitment remains the same: to provide thoughtful, personalized guidance and treat every family with the kindness, respect, and compassion they deserve

Services & Descriptions
Assisted Living Placement
For seniors who need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or medication management - assisted living offers independence with support. We help families find communities that balance care, comfort, and social engagement.
In-Home Care Referrals
For seniors who prefer to remain at home, we connect families with trusted in-home care providers offering companionship, personal care, and skilled services when needed.
Memory Care Placement
Memory care communities are designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. We specialize in identifying secure environments with trained staff, structured routines, and compassionate care tailored to cognitive needs.
Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation
When medical needs require 24/7 nursing care or short-term rehabilitation after hospitalization, we help locate licensed skilled nursing facilities that meet medical and insurance requirements.
Independent Living Placement
Independent living is ideal for active seniors who want a maintenance-free lifestyle with social opportunities. We match seniors with communities that support independence while offering convenience and peace of mind.
Respite & Short-Term Care
Whether caregivers need a break, or temporary care is needed after surgery or illness, we help find short-term care solutions that ensure safety and comfort.
