Garden Ridge

My siblings and I feel so lucky that we found the Ridges. Our mom & dad moved into the (Garden) Ridges over a year ago. From the moment they arrived the staff could not have been kinder and more welcoming. In addition to being such a beautiful property, it is run with warmth and efficiency. We have never worried for a moment about our parent's quality of care or safety. The staff are stellar - George, Julia, Melissa and Carrie have continually gone out of their way to communicate and make adjustments to our parents care as needed. Additionally, housekeeping, maintenance and the front desk staff are positive, helpful and kind. When dad passed away last August we were worried about mom being on her own. However, the compassion & attention from the staff and management was truly heartwarming and has made the adjustment much smoother than we could have imagined. The Ridges provides wonderful restaurant style dining, an ever-changing menu, tons of activities, outings and opportunities to socialize. Throughout the year it is always decorated so festively for the various holidays. I cannot recommend the Ridges enough.

Care services - not able to judge as she is living independent. The one time she needed help was not a good situation. The meals are not good right now, short staff at times creates problems. Does not participate in activities and the value is overpriced. We had problems right from the start with her apartment not being ready. Management, while very nice people, doesn't seem to know how to manage especially conflict. The food situation has gotten worse. Some meals have not been edible. My mom keeps food in her apartment so she has something to eat when the menu is bad...yet she still pays for food she isn't able to eat. Staff is very friendly.
