Stamford Senior AdvisorBridgeport is Connecticut's largest city by population, a port on the Pequonnock River with neighborhoods from Black Rock and the West End through Downtown and the East Side to the North End along Park and Madison avenues. Bridgeport Hospital on Grant Street and St. Vincent's Medical Center on Main Street both serve the city.
Bridgeport's older population is large in absolute numbers but its share of residents 65 and over is among the lowest in the county. Licensed care centers on two North End campuses on Park Avenue, each pairing a nursing home with assisted living, plus a residential care home; assisted living choices elsewhere in the city are few, so families often compare Fairfield, Trumbull, Stratford and Shelton as well.
