My 91-year-old father has lived at Ridge Rest for two years, and it has been a blessing. It's a small facility that feels like a real home rather than an institution. The staff truly treats everyone like family--they know his favorite habits and specific needs. Because they handle all the logistics of his care so well, I can just focus on enjoying our visits. I wholeheartedly recommend Ridge Rest to anyone looking for a place they can truly trust.

My Mother in law has stayed there for 5 years now. I am a RN with experience working at 2 skilled nursing facilities. The staff are exceptionally conscientious and give attentive care to all of the residents. The meals are very good and healthy snacks are abundant. It is a peaceful, quiet setting with a beautiful view from the front porch, where residents and family often sit during warm weather visits. Ridge Rest is recommended if it meets your care needs. Eventually, I would love to go there.
