I love that the staff loved my parents

I liked the fact that the staff seemed to truly care about my parents. That caring was demonstrated in the way they interacted with my wife and me, the detail with which they could recall their experiences with my parents throughout the day, and the gentle manner they used when providing direct care for my parents.

Wish we had found this place first!

We weren't there long, but it was by far the best place for dad. Wish we'd found them sooner. hey have a new director now and, when the night nurse called in sick, the director went home, put on scrubs and came back for the night shift because she knew my dad was critical and would need a nurse to administer meds through the night. This wasn't the[ name removed], it was the executive director! You don't find people with that work ethic and sense of empathy in most places these days.

Emory Ridge

The administrative staff were wonderful. There was quite a bit of turnover with the CNA's but was resolved by the end of her time there. There was also a huge problem with laundry services. I was told this was normal for a memory care facility but I was extremely disappointed in how her clothing and linens were laundered and wadded up and put away in the chest drawers. Her clothes were in such bad shape that when she passed, we left them there instead of donating them elsewhere. The protective cover purchased for the new and expensive mattress was removed to be laundered but never returned to her bed. The mattress was quickly stained and ruined. Overall, my Mother in law hated every day there and begged to come home (I know this is normal). She intentionally hurt herself in order to be sent to the hospital to get out of the facility. After a hip fracture, she continued to fall out of bed (at least one time intentionally in the view of PT). My MIL had a mental illness, was manipulative and had dementia- all this made it very difficult to determine what if anything she told us was truthful. All this to say, we would definitely refer friends and family to Emory Care if they needed this type of facility.

Overall a good experience

Mom loved the food! The facility itself is very nice as are the resident's rooms. Better communication between the administrative staff, nursing, house keeping, etc. of any changes requested by the family. Such as requesting that they start doing the residents laundry but not following up to be sure the appropriate people are informed and fulfilling the request.

Dirty sheets and zero activities

My mother in law has been here for 2.5 years and it was wonderful until a few months ago. The new management has let the place go and the residents are paying for it. My mother in law's sheets were bloody from a wound that came from a fall. A fall can happen anywhere, but the same sheets were still on the bed five days later. I brought this to the attention of the wellness director who said it would be taken care of right away. I went back the next day and the same sheets were still on the bed. After visiting for a couple of weeks at different times of the day, I realized that there were no activities at all. I was then told that there wasn't an activities director. Those poor people are just left alone. Needless to say, we put in our notice and are moving her next week. It's a shame how this place is being run. I wish I could attach pictures to this review.

I like the fact that the caregivers are kind and patient, the decor is lovely, and comfortable, and it smells clean. Of course there is always room for improvement. But I have no complaints.

Peace of mind

The staff is very attentive to the residents and treats them like family. They all pitch in and help out. The staff cares about all of their residents. The single room size is a nice size and very adequate, there's a large closet and a dresser large enough for all their clothes.

Genuine Care

The staff are very friendly and they honestly care about the residents. They communicate and are reachable. When my father in law had to go to the hospital Briscoe took the time to visit him. The staff are honestly amazing! The facility is very nice when compared to what is around and available. It is well taken care of. I love the ability that the residents have to go outside.

Nice staff. Well-trained and professional.

The team at Emory Ridge helped my dad settle in quickly. They provide a stable, structured environment that is well-suited to his needs. It's easy for my mom to visit him, which she appreciates very much.

Emory Ridge

Took care of Mom with compassion. Health care was outstanding. Moms last days the nurses checked on her more than enough. They made us all comfortable as we waited for Mom to pass. They actually sent me a refund for the remainder of the month. Which was a surprise as the rules state that you pay for month.

Review for Emory Ridge

There is always room for improvement. But I visit my sister every week but not on the same day and the facility is always immaculate everyone is very nice they treat my sister well . They try to involve my sister but her Alzheimer's is getting worse as far as cost it seems fair. She was in Colorado and the cost there was about 30 to 40 percent higher. When I see her she is always clean. Clean clothes and her room is clean. Her teeth still look nice and white so that make me believe they are taking pretty good care of her.

Emory Ridge is a very nice facility, but like all others, it is pricey. The location is great and very convenient for me. I would recommend to others looking.

A Nice Community

My loved one says the meals taste great! We would like to see more activities on the weekends. I know the full staff is not there on weekends so that makes it difficult. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend Emory Ridge to other families why may need a place for their loved ones.

Others may want to know that Emory Ridge is strictly a Memory Care and that the doors remain locked and secured at all times; only staff can let you in and out of the building.
