Thank you for taking such good car of my family! My Mom & Dad have adorable 1 bedroom unit with their own furniture and pictures on wall overlooking the courtyard, which we haven't used yet but plan on it when the weather gets better. They have room for kitchen table & three chairs, living room furniture with love seat, recliner and end table, kitchenette with small fridge & microwave, and bedroom with queen bed and two end tables. They like to sleep late so the staff delivers breakfast to their room every morning. My sister is just down the hall in a studio and they allowed her to bring her electric fireplace which makes her room so cozy, they placed her close to my parents so they can dine together! My Dad had a problem with his blood pressure and they monitored it every three hours. The food is wonderful and the dining room is beautiful with a cathedral ceiling and fireplace. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Also because my Dad has early stage alzheimer's and my sister may have to have medicaid waiver in the future, they have memory care in same building and they take medicaid waiver for my sister so they can all stay together and won't be transferred to another building or facility which was extremely important to our family! I have to amend my review! The new cook at Walnut Ridge is horrible! Easter Sunday at Walnut Ridge was crispy uncooked noodles with ground meat no seasoning and not enough sauce with no seasoning to cover the crispy uncooked noodles with dry hard pita bread. We have moved my family to Heather Hills in Cascade and so much better food and activities! go there instead! beautiful 1 bedroom apartment with outdoor balcony with many activities that Walnut Ridge doesn't offer and food for Mothers day is Buffet with Prime Rib, Smothered Chicken, salad, fruit, shrimp cocktail , biscuits & gravy, green been casserole, Potatoes and gravy, Caprese pesto pasta Tiramasiu, Assorted Pies, and Chocolate covered Strawberries. This isn't just Mothers day they had parmasen crusted tilapia, au Gratin Potatoes, Peas & carrots and Cheesecake with strawberry topping last night for dinner and my family loves it there! The menu when we started at Walnut Ridge looked awesome with side menu they could order but with new cook this menu was eliminated! They only had two choices when my Dad had stomach flu Lasagna or a Hot dog which neither is good for upset stomach! They said this wasn't a five star restaurant when I complained although they did say they would try to change things, but nothing changed just horrible food! At Heather Hills they have special of the day, and three specials of the week, and a side menu that has many other options if you don't like the specials and everything is good chef there is awesome! Also on activities at Walnut Ridge if you don't like bingo don't plan on anything esle! Heather Hills has many activities every day and a movie theater, outdoor area with grill to do outdoor entertainment! So much nicer more like a home!
