Alterra Clare Bridge Cottage
Alterra Clare Bridge Cottage is a residential facility for people with Alzheimer's
disease and other dementia conditions. The facility, which overlooks Cayuga Lake in Ithaca, opened in 1999. It has
several pleasant sitting areas along with an enclosed patio for the warmer months. Alterra has a diverse population
of residents. Most are in their eighties. Some are fairly mobile and can communicate reasonable well, whereas others
have very limited mobility and/or have limited communication skills. The caregivers at Alterra work diligently at making
it a good environment for the residents. Cornell Companions volunteers are always given a warm welcome when they visit
and the animals have been enjoyed by residents and caregivers alike since 1999.
Distance from Cornell: 3.9 miles, or about 9 minutes
