RidgeCrest

I am the primary caregiver for my brother and I could not be happier that he is at RidgeCrest. This is a well maintained and beautiful community. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. There are numerous social events and excursions for those interested. Several folks come and provide music quite often and that's always a big hit. Two new cooks have recently been hired and the food is very tasty. Each week there are six rotating specials to choose from as well as regular items which are always on the menu. The apartments are very nice and well appointed. It is such a comfort for me to know he is in a very special place.

After careful consideration of many communities we toured, my wife and I decided to move to Ridgecrest. Our first impression the moment we walked through the door was how friendly and genuinely happy the Members and Team Members are. We have lived at Ridgecrest for a little over a year and have not had one negative experience, not one. The culture of the leadership team and team members is extraordinary. Its not often you find an organization that you witness daily efforts and emphasis on continuous improvement and ways to better serve the membership. I fell shortly after we moved in, and within two minutes, five people were in my apartment helping me up. We have the supportive services in one location that gives us the opportunity to live our lives as we wish without burdening our children. We feel safe and secure at Ridgecrest. We dont have to worry about yard work or shoveling snow. We have consolidated our finances and pay one bill every month. The peace of mind that Independent Living at Ridgecrest has given us is immeasurable. We have made so many friends here and have a wonderful support system at our fingertips. The Social and Dining experiences are over the top and we often bring in guests to join us. We have various types of entertainment. We have made a family at Ridgecrest, and it is the best decision we could have ever made.

Ruth and I enjoyed visiting and having dinner with our friends at Ridgecrest over a couple of years. These visits led us to discuss revisiting the idea to make a move at a later time. Once an emergency accrued (broken or crushed leg bone), caused us to talk more seriously about a move immediately. Ruth, moved us to Ridgecrest while I was recovering at the hospital. We have come to appreciate and enjoy our new family and the excellent staff at Ridgecrest. It is rewarding to enjoy meeting our new friends in the club house and for dinner each evening. The only regret is what we did not plan for the move adequately. We miss our items we accumulated over our 63 years of marriage, such as, memories of travel, work and family, and etc. These items, many of them, were pricked up by the salvation army after selling our house in a week following our move. We are extremely happy with our decision to move to Ridgecrest and hope we have several more years to enjoy our new family and the staff at Ridegrest. Swanson and Ruth Richards.
