a great fit for our mom

What we like the most about Chatham Ridge is that it is a smaller and intimate community, so the staff really get to know my mom and her family.

Nice facility, poor administration

The facility was clean, the care staff respectful. the administration has been uncommunicative and incompetent. He needed a form filled out by our long term care insurance when he was admitted on [date removed] and they still haven't done it today (2 months later). He had multiple falls in the three weeks he was there and has spent the last month+ in hospital or skilled nursing facility. So we're still paying out the nose for the place, but he isn't there and they can't fill out a single form.

Review for Chatham Ridge Assisted Living

They should ask about finances because there is an entrance fee that is non refundable and then there is the regular monthly fee. That goes up with your level of care. You also must furnish your own room. It doesn't come furnished. So it's good to know all the finances before you apply. The sales people were very helpful in explaining all this and helping with the application. The nurse was helpful in her assessment of my husband. The facility is bright and cheery and the food is good. There are many activities to sign up for. I may not be the best judge on value for the money but it seemed expensive to me. I don't have a lot of comparisons and everything is expensive today.

Our family's experience

The staff are really kind and have been willing to work with my mom and doctors to find solutions to some of my Dad's bigger issues. They've been very understanding. We feel (like most places I'm sure) that they are understaffed and the staff is overworked. But that seems to be a more systemic issue. We also think that a facility that has an extra bathroom outside of the residents rooms could be helpful in reducing some bathroom accidents. But again, that could be a system wide issue. Overall very happy he's there and the staff has been really communicative, forgiving, understanding, and willing to make changes.

Review for Chatham Ridge Assisted Living

90% of the staff and 100% of management could care less. I put a ring camera in her room and they put a sign on the door to alert the staff. I wonder why. It didn't prevent her diamond ring and gold wedding band from being stolen... when I asked for access to the hall camera to match up to my ring tape, they initially said yes and then denied it. There was an issue of men getting into her room in checked at night. Denied until I showed them the tape. No response. I took her out of there and never looked back.

Mom thrived at Chatham Ridge

5 for all categories. Chatham Ridge has an outstanding medical staff that includes doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and podiatrists. They also have a hair dresser on site, professional chefs, and an activity director that's outstanding. They have a theatre room, a library, and very nice outside grounds. My mother loved the front porch and the beautiful flowers and trees. All the staff was so caring and nice. My mother literally thrived at Chatham Ridge. She had friends and activities to keep her busy and her own apartment for quiet and rest. Mom loved the parties that involved the families. They also had a wheelchair van that took them to outings and doctor appointments. What a wonderful end to a long life for my mother.

Chatham Ridge

I found Chatham Ridge to be a very caring environment; they really care about their residents. I have seen them take extra time to engage them in activities. They also take time to hear their stories, and find out about their history. Families are treated with respect and dignity. The sales and marketing person really does care about the family, and goes above and beyond when showing the facility to answer questions and make them feel comfortable with the decision they make.

I would choose this facility!

I am not currently in need of a facility for my loved one, but this will definitely be top of the list when the time comes! From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt a sense of warmth and care. It was obvious that the entire staff goes above and beyond to make residents feel comfortable, safe, and truly at home.

Great Experience, Friendly Staff

I toured Chatham Ridge and [name removed] was a wonderful Sales Director. Everyone was extremely friendly and answered all my questions. I truly believe that this can be a place where my loved one will thrive and be taken care of.

Knowledgeable staff

Unbelievably helpful sales staff! If we don't choose now, this will definitely be our first choice when the time comes! I would refer anyone who is looking in to care for a declining friend or family member to call and speak to them!

Review for Chatham Ridge Assisted Living

We picked them because of the proximity to other family living in the area. Food is sub-par, and is often a major issue. Management had turned over several times, but the place is generally clean and feels safe overall. Have had all sorts of trouble and misinformation regarding getting approval for her long term care insurance though... Has cost us tens of thousands of dollars so far...

Review for Chatham Ridge Assisted Living

Avoid it There are many others. Memory care is a nightmare. Their own staff will tell you to not go there. I would not recommend. The day I was taking my wife out, there was another aide taking her person out.

Don’t go near this place

Male residents were allowed into female rooms even after being shown video of male resident jumping into her bed multiple times and staying for hours. Allegedly they check all rooms every two hours No Way Place smells like urine Got out in 40 days and found 2 others that are just fine. Keep looking

Very good experience

Very friendly familial atmosphere. Good at responding to each resident personally and keeping them entertained and involved. Many daily activities and for those who are able and care to, scheduled outings provide a pleasant change of pace. Warm weather options for chatting outside with other residents and staff. Responsive and involved staff for the most part and an overall pleasant atmosphere.. Residents seem and sound happy, enthusiastic and involved in daily life of the community. For assisted living, these things seem important to me.

Indifferent care at a high price

Although some of the staff is very good and caring, the management is indifferent and staff training seems to be lacking. Residents often wait a longtime to have the call bell answered. The hallways have a strong urine smell that is very unpleasant.

Overall a nice community

Mostly good. We've had a few instances where we've had to press the staff to get things done - laundry, fixing broken item in her bathroom, cleaning her sticky floor. Several of her clothing items have disappeared from her room and have yet to be found. They generally do a good job at keeping things clean. The staff is quite friendly. They have a nice variety of activities for the residents. Wish they would have more activities to keep the residents active during the day. It's expensive everywhere!

would recommend

Sometimes it is hard to get information and lots of times due to turn over staff does not really know what is going on. They are working on different areas it is just disappointing at times. I would recommend Chatham ridge but would want families to understand, memory care is not one on one care. You still need to be able to do something's for yourself.
