Care

Memory Care

Memory care communities offer specialized care and support for individuals dealing with memory-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s or dementia. These facilities are equipped with trained staff and offer engaging activities designed to promote well-being while ensuring a safe living environment.

Respite Care

Respite care is short-term or temporary care. Respite care can be provided in adult day centers, in private homes via home health agencies and in senior living communities, most often assisted living or skilled nursing facilities.

Personal Care

Personal care involves assisting with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and mobility support to help maintain independence and enhance day-to-day life.

    I moved my Dad here and he has become more social than before! He has made new friends and enjoys the happy hour they offer! He said the food is delicious! I’m so happy we made the right choice with his placement!

    Not the place for everyone. My parents require 1-1 care and when we toured the place, we were assured that they would receive that. Then we were told that we would have to hire a private aide for 1-1 care. This place is very expensive and now we need to spend more $$ for them to receive the appropriate level of care? I also asked that my parents be put on a regular schedule for dining, but was told that was not possible either. So, if no one responds to their call to go to dinner, who knows what they eat. My mother has been losing weight and cannot afford to skip meals. This place is understaffed and some, not all, of the aides are undertrained. Some just do not understand how to care for people with cognitive decline, and seem to do as little as possible. There are aides who are simply wonderful and take the time to really care for their charges, but they simply have too large a caseload. The assistance is minimal, the food underwhelming, many aides undertrained and the staff inattentive. If you are independent, outgoing and do not need assisted living then this might be the right place, but I cannot recommend it.

    I can’t say enough good things about this community. We moved my aunt in a little over a year ago and she has done nothing but succeed. She was using a wheel chair when she first moved in and after weeks of using their in house therapist, she is now using a walker. She has more friends and more of a social life that she or I ever thought she would ever have. From the staff who treat her and my entire family like their own family, to the activities and the great food, we couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend everything about this community!!

    Ridgecrest was exactly right for my Mom. She was able to live independently as if in an apartment building but still have support when she needed it. As her condition progressed, she was able to get more help without having to relocate. The staff is very caring, respectful, and attentive. The head nurses are experienced and energetic and really connect with my Mom to encourage her to follow her care plan. As a relative, I felt at ease knowing my Mom could enjoy her apartment and still be safe.
