My aunt lived her final years at Arbors in which I visited often so when circumstances lead us to relocate my father to MN, Arbors at Ridges was an obvious choice! From the day we took a tour of the facility to now almost 9 months since my dad made Arbors his home, it’s been a fantastic experience on many levels! My father is thriving, getting involved and has a new lease on life! Thank you to everyone at Arbors at Ridges for your kindness, patience and passion for the work you do 💛<br>Blessings- Heather Schinke & Family

Everyone at the Arbors at Ridges did a wonderful job taking care of my Mother. They were always courteous, understanding, and always treated her with the utmost respect. It was like being a part of one big happy family. Every person we came in contact with at the Arbors did and outstanding job...I can't thank them enough!

My parents loved living here. The staff was fabulous! They were very friendly and caring and helped with everything we needed. It was very comfortable and clean. The food was wonderful! They offered everything we needed and then some. It was a great fit for our family!

My mother-in-law was apprehensive about moving to assisted living but she soon said this was her new home. She received great care and the staff were like family. During the 15 months until her passing she also moved from assisted living to a care suite. It was nice that she could stay in one location and move to another 1 bedroom apartment very similar to her first one. No place will ever be perfect but in the few times a mistake was made the service recovery exceeded our expections. We would definitely recommend the Arbors to anyone looking for great care that is in a home like setting. An additional plus is that it is a smaller facility so it is easier for residents to navigate and to develop personal relationships with staff.

Great facility! My grandma lived here and they were really attentive and caring. The staff is welcoming and loving, I felt safe knowing she was in good hands. Their staff is very hands on and you can see how much they cares about their residents. There are lots of fun activities. It feels like family.
