I have the honor of visiting this facility recently, and I was blown away. Gorgeous facility! I have personally worked, visited and known quite a few retirement homes and this is hands-down, the best I’ve ever been to! Staff was so kind, caring and sincere, and all that lived there were well cared for, clean, and happy! 12 out of 10!⭐️

This is an incredibly special place like no other! We are very grateful and appreciative for the few months our mom and grandma, Dorothy, had at Highland Ridge. The staff are deeply kind, caring, and compassionate. We will not only miss her, but will miss visiting her at such a warm and welcoming place.
