Ridgecrest at Cranberry Woods

My mom moved into the independent living wing nearly 5 years ago. Two years ago, after an unfortunate fall and trip to the ER and a "skilled nursing" facility, I had to have my mom moved to the Personal Care side. She had failing memory and needed "wheels" to assist her. She had several falls (her own fault) and her care level would at times need to be increased until she recovered. Then it could be decreased. But here's what I really want to say: Daisy (love, love, love how she cared for mom!) and her care team over those two years (Kay, Shalena, Jen, Patty, Lee, Lizzie, Tonya, Laney, and others) really showed so much care and concern for who they often called, "Love," "Honey," "Mama Lu," and "Sweetie." They KNEW my mom and her tendencies/habits/lifestyle in their care for her. I felt so ASSURED mom was getting the attention she needed and the loving personal care that every one of us wants for our loved one. In January I had Bridges hospice caring for her as well. They did a great job! And they worked well with Ridgecrest Dir. of Nursing and her assoc. I felt like they were a team and always kept me up to date with my mom's needs. When my mom was dying in her bed, there were aides/nurses there to comfort her to her dying breath! And so many of them had tears in their eyes when we met in person following her passing. That will always stick to me. They loved my mom because she was more than a "patient."

I have taken my daughter to several events at Atria such as Petting Zoos and Parties for Holidays at this location! This was so she could see her Grandma and spend time with her! We have been greeted with nothing but kindness and every event has been well thought out and organized! They do so many nice things for the Seniors living in this community it’s amazing! The facility is beautiful well maintained, great staff and they can definitely put on a party!! If I could give more stars I would!
