Our family's experience

5 on all areas - my dad was treated like a human being with lots of compassion at Walnut Ridge, the staff was amazing especially [name removed]. My dad absolutely loves that sweet girl. I will say he was not thrilled about all of his meals but they were nutritional and mostly heart healthy.

Review for Walnut Ridge

My worst complaint is the food. The food is not at all good for these older people. They are only allowed to shower twice per week.

The cleanest community I have ever seen

My father needed assisted living. He moved in about 6 months ago. One of the things we noticed when we toured was how clean everything was. I can now say that’s a normal thing. It’s always so clean when I visit my father

Excellent

The staff at Walnut Ridge are very caring and very attentive. When Mom pulls her cord for help, they're there in a minute or two at the most. They're sweet - they're just good people. And they take very good care of my mom. If there's any problem, they call me. I email and talk regularly with [name removed] , who is in charge of the medical side. Their communication with me is very good. The food is excellent. And the actives seem like a lot of fun.

Mom is safe and happy

I admitted my mom in early [date removed] to Walnut Ridge Assisted Living. It became evident after her admission that she needed to be in Memory Care. She has been in Memory Care for almost 2 months now and she is doing well. The staff is very supportive and responsive to me during the time I have been unable to visit her in person. Mom lived in the mountains prior to her admission and I worried constantly about her safety as her wandering and confusion got worse. Now she is safe and happy, taking her medications properly and her personal/medical needs are being monitored. The staff is very attentive and mom is doing well. Re: food-mom says it's great.

so appreciative for the care that she gets

My mother is doing very well here at Walnut Ridge. She had just turned 99 years old so it was getting to that time to put her somewhere. My mother enjoys the many interactions with more people, she loves the activities that she participates in, and the staff team takes good care of her. I was worried at the beginning, but honestly this was the best thing that I could have done. My mother gets three meals a day and she loves the food there. She has a prescription for one medication and they help administering it to her regularly. She receives assistance about three times a week for her bathing and she loves it because it makes her feel better. She has a small private room so she has her independence and privacy, but someone is occasionally checking in on her making sure that she is OK. She is very happy here which makes me happy. The location is very convenient as well because it is about five minutes away from my sister and I. I just feel so appreciative for the care that she gets.
