Aha Ridge Memory Care has given my parents extra good years. Their care, diligence and compassion are top quality. The food is healthy and good, the activities are stimulating and innovative. Ah the staff, headed by the director Emily, are the most gifted and talented people and know how to deal with all types of behaviors and conditions. I can't wait till I get older, so I can move here.

By far worst company since they got new management. They do not care about there employees, they would have them come in puking and can't stay out of the bathroom. They have cockroaches and aren't doing anything about it, if one of the residents has a open sore they don't do much about it until the resident is pretty much dying or has a severe infection, or they just oh they are dieing anyway. If I was you I wouldn't bring a family member here.

This is not a good place. They never really watch the patients. I took my mom out of there because they were not qualified to handle memory care.
