Review for The Ridge at Madison

It's very expensive but still competitive for the area. The staff are very friendly but the turnover is extremely high and the facilities need upgrading. I would recommend to others depending on their budget.

A place where anyone can stay, regardless of their financial status

What I really love about The Ridge at Madison is that they take Medicaid residents. The cost of being in an assisted living facility is not cheap and they are one of the only communities around here who accept payment from state funded insurance. Every other community is 100% private pay, meaning the residents pay completely out-of-pocket. It is so wonderful that there is a place for people who do not have tons of money to still be able to live and get the care they need.

My grandmother loves The Ridge at Madison! My visits are always uplifting. Staff is informative, compassionate, and empathic to my grandma's needs. She tells me every visit how she feels at home and welcomed there! Management takes a team approach with staff to effectively engage them in excellent care strategies.

The Ridge at Madison is an excellent facility. I was going to place my loved one there; unfortunately, they passed before I could get them in. I was able to speak with many staff members who were all amazing. The residents were all happy and having fun during activity time.

I would highly recommend this facility. The Executive Director is amazing, professional, and has a highly trained staff. As an industry professional myself, it takes many factors to provide an exceptional facility for a loved one. This one takes the cake.
