I am very grateful for Hawks ridge and all the staff. If it weren't for you all being here my sister may not be alive. The staff is very helpful and friendly and easy to talk to and my sister is thriving here and is so happy for the first time in years. Thank you to you all.

I could not leave a review without giving this facility at least 1 star. I wanted to give it no stars. This facility should be described as an independent living facility with minimal assistance. If your loved one is independent and able to do most things for themselves, they will do fine here. Otherwise, this facility has caregivers who are well-meaning but poorly trained. This, in my view, is due to how often management changes. In the almost 2+ years my mother lived there, the management changed at least 4 times. I had a meeting with the executive director (who I believe is still the executive director) after my mother had repeated hospitalizations because she was not receiving her medications consistently or in a timely manner. One of the reasons the executive director gave to me was, "The caregivers only receive 'minimal' training here." If an assisted living facility offers medication assistance as part of their services, then it seems to me that should be included in the "minimal training." This followed on the heels of a caregiver not knowing how to use the wheelchair my mother was in and asking me how to use it as well as feces being left on the floor of my mother's shower stall as well as on her bathroom floor. I cannot tell you how many instances I had of trying to communicate with the management and the staff members about all of this, and it was all to no avail. I recently moved my mother to another facility and saw a caregiver there who had once worked at Hawks Ridge. He was so happy to see my mother and relieved that she no longer lived at Hawks Ridge. His words: "I would never work there again. The caregivers are untrained, and the care that is given is negligent."

My mother lived very happily at Hawks Ridge for the last 4 years of her life. She enjoyed the homey, nurturing atmosphere and she found many good friends there. I really enjoyed visiting her at Hawks Ridge, it's a wonderful facility and I was very impressed with how well the staff knew each resident and how much they cared about their welfare.
