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!<br>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!

My daughter transitioned to Walnut Ridge after leaving the hospital. The staff were incredibly helpful in preparing for her arrival, helping her fit in and come to really enjoy all of the caring people there. Kind, considerate, happy people along with residents that love living there. Many fun activities attracted her from staying in her room all day. The facility is extremely clean, beautifully decorated and maintained. She really enjoyed her time there

Thank you so much for all the fantastic care, wonderful staff, and the residents are so nice. I really enjoyed my stay here. I made many friends and I am shy by nature.<br><br>Our medicine is always on time. Housekeeping is superb. I really enjoyed all the fun activities mostly bingo, Holland State Park, the car show, and the baseball game. I will recommend it for anyone looking for assisted living.<br><br>The rooms are spacious. They come with a bed, a new television, an armoire, microwave, mini fridge, and bedside tables.

I have been in and out of this building for many years. Their have been so many name and ownership changes over the past ten years, I can't remember them all. Of course, the newest owners can't speak to conditions under previous management....understandable. However, one thing remains consistent, poor care. Some of the staff try and are kind, others don't acknowledge your presence at all. Some of the front office staff are friendly and helpful, others are aloof and rude. For awhile, the majority of the staff didn't speak any English. Not an issue typically, but less than ideal for seniors who can't hear in the first place.<br><br>Historically, the building has had issues with many staff quitting all at once. This has left residents with a lack of assistance, and unsafe conditions. The stories I could tell.....all staff quitting at the same time, staff fights in the lobby, fire alarms going off in the night and staff unsure of what to do, residents on the floor for prolonged periods. This point seems simple, but telling: when flowers are delivered to a resident, the plastic isn't taken off of the arrangement, leaving it to wilt on a beside table.<br><br>Additionally, the building looks beautiful, BUT many of the windows in the residents rooms don't actually close. The winter cold blows in, the wind howls, and heat seeps in during summer months. Resident rooms and bathrooms are only surface level cleaned.<br><br>Please read this review and take it to heart.<br>There are many more stories that are not being shared here. Most of the residents can't speak up or have nowhere else to go, but if your loved one has any other available option, choose that!
