Ridgewood Health Care Center

I visited this facility

When I was in high school, I attended the Walker County Center of Technology. I was enrolled in the nursing program. My senior year in high school we did clinicals. One of the places that we did clinicals was at Ridgewood. I enjoyed doing clinicals at Ridgewood and being able to help the elderly and people that could not do for themselves. It made me feel really good about myself. The facility was always very clean and the staff was always nice to all of the residents at the nursing home. I loved being able to say that I was able to work alongside the staff at Ridgewood since they were so good with the residents and they really taught me a lot. Being able to actually do hands-on tasks was amazing. I got very close to the residents and miss them very much. On Wednesdays there would be a preacher and a few of his church members come and let would bring all the residents into the living room area and they would sing and he would bring forth a message. This is one of the things that I really loved about being able to be a part of Ridgewood.
