Mountain Ridge Assisted Living

I can't say enough about the care my parents received at Mt. Ridge over the past 5 years. It is a clean, efficient, friendly, well run operation manned by an excellent staff. Every one was always friendly, helpful, and caring. The organization has obviously been carefully planned by people that know and understand the needs of the elderly.

Mountain ridge assisted living is located in Southern Utah just below the beautiful Rocky Mountain Region. The landscape is breathtaking to be sure, but it is definitely not all this facility has to offer its residence. Every time I enter an assisted living facility I worry that it will not be kept in a clean and sanitary manner for the residents that have no choice but to be there. My fears were baseless when I visited this facility for the cleanliness was above reproach. I even remember thinking that I wanted to ask what cleaning products they were using since it smelled so clean, but not overpowering with the common cleaning scents of bleach, ammonia, etc. I spoke to several of the residents as I was at the facility to do rounds with my aunt who works as a specialist in the field of assisted living and works to uphold a certain standard of living for the elderly. Both she and I found the residents to be most pleased to be residents of the Mountain Ridge Assisted Living Facility, and could not say enough about the fabulous food, attentive staff, great accomodations, and activities for the residents. I was glad to know upon leaving that the horror stories that you often hear about nursing homes are often unfounded, and I can honestly say that when my time comes I would be happy to be a resident of Mountain Ridge!

This facility is great for many reasons. For one, there are so many activities to do and so much socializing, that it would be impossible for the residents to get bored. If they don't feel like in participating in one of the craft projects or music programs, there's always outings and walks they can go on. A friend of mine here is pretty much a social butterfly. She's never been very good just sitting at home. Once she couldn't drive anymore, she moved promptly to a assisted living facility. This one offers all the opportunities she could possibly want to get out and shopping. Even her family can stop by and take her out to lunch or to the store. She loves living here where there is so much she can do and so many friends she can make.

This is a great facility for seniors that want to have their own apartment but need the help of a nurse once and awhile along with a little social interaction. My aunt moved into these apartments and she really liked the social interaction that they had. They take them shopping and also take them on fun outings, which she just loved since she couldn't drive anymore. One of the fun things I really appreciated when I would visit her is that they really tried hard to make the place inviting and friendly. The nurses I interacted with were are nice and paid close attention to the residents. They had a lot of things that made the facility feel like a real home like decorating for the different holidays and they also offered great things like music classes, which she really loved. This is great for anyone that is tired of living alone and dealing with the housework and would like to have a place to live where your cleaning is done and you don't need to worry about yardwork. Many of the residents would come and go as they needed, which really does make it nice because it doesn't feel like a traditional assisted living center where people are just stuck there all day long.
