I want to share my experience Persimmon Ridge facility. I came in with a broken back and in great pain. The staff was warm and welcoming attending to my every need. Every shift was great in taking care of me. I also had the opportunity to walk around the facility when I was able to. I met so many nice residents in the long-term unit. That will turn out to be great friends. I would definitely recommend persimmon for anyone that needs rehabilitation or a long-term facility. I have seen how they attend to the long-term residence and they go above and beyond to make them feel loved and comforting. Their therapy unit is a wonderful place full of residence every day working to get better. The therapist are always kind caring and careful, that you weren’t going to injure yourself, Always encouraging you to never give up. I have been here at persimmon for one month and have no complaints. It is a clean facility with lots of activity for the residents. The dining room looks out over a wooded area that has wildlife, plenty of birds and squirrels to watch. While in the hospital I ask my family to look at the facilities that were in the area to get their opinion of which one would fit my needs. They said Persimmon Ridge was a the one they recommended.

The last couple months had been tough on dad. Losing his independence was very difficult and I’m sure it will be difficult for all of us one day. The staff at Persimmon Ridge and the Hospice nurses showed a lot of compassion, cared about him and were very concerned about dad while he was there. It takes a special person to be able to do what the staff does at Persimmon Ridge on a daily basis. All were so good at what they did and never complained. The tears, the love and the laughter caring for him and how nice he was to them were mentioned multiple times by the staff.. Dad felt the same way about them. We as a family appreciate the care that was given to dad by the staff at Persimmon Ridge. To show our appreciation and to see many of the same people who cared for dad…we took them lunch and desserts today…pizza, cookies, popcorn. Although it was kind of tough to walk through the doors today, to see all the smiling faces made our day. We love Persimmon Ridge Thank you

Never, I mean NEVER take your loved one to this facility. I watched them HANG my loved one in a unit to help get him to the bathroom. A man stood and watched his eyes roll back in his head, stop breathing! He never moved to help. Just let him hang as I was screaming for help. They never came to check his vitals afterwards for hrs. He went in with 100% oxygen. When they checked him it was 77. I told a nurse about the man standing there watching him literally hang and lose consciousness . She was very offended and informed me it was her dad and I offended HER. To this day, hes standing there everyday doing nothing, helping nobody . My loved one doesnt remember, he thought he flipped a lit cig on thier floor and he dont smoke. He didnt understand why I was yelling for help until I explained it. Now, I'm scared to death to leave him in thier care. Please, choose a different facility for your loved one, unless you like tattooed, nose rings and all different colors of haired people "taking care" of your loved one. RUN from this facility.
