Orchard Ridge is a gorgeous community. Staff are always so friendly and helpful. Tons of fun activities. Real engagement.Cody and Rachel as leadership have brought amazing changes to this community. A true testimony of how much they care, pop in during a birthday party and see Cody serenading a resident on his banjo. Truly heartwarming. They care for the residents like they are family and it truly shows. It's always clean, smells good and feels like home.

Orchard Ridge is a very beautiful setting for senior living. The quaintness of the surrounding area and small town living would be exactly what I would want personally and for my parent's. The staff is very welcoming and eager to keep the residents active and live their best lives.
