Key Review Excerpts
“My 91-year-old father has lived at Ridge Rest for two years, and it has a been a blessing. It's a small facility that feels like a real home rather than an institution. The staff truly treats everyone like family--they know his favorite habits and specific needs.”
“My Mother in law has stayed there for 5 years now. I am an RN with experience working at 2 skilled nursing facilities. The staff are exceptionally conscientious and give attentive care to all of the residents. The meals are very good and healthy snacks are abundant.”
