East Ridge Retirement Village

I visited this facility

This nursing home is located in the back/off road area near Old Cutler Rd. This is good because there is not alot of thru traffic, which can be bothersome for some people. There is a nursing home section and cottage like homes. I did not get to experience the cottages. The funny thing is there are random peacocks that walk around the grounds. At night the faciltiy is locked up, with door alarms. However to venture outside it could be pretty scary and dark after hours. I found the staff to be overall pleasant. The rooms are spacious for sharing. The cnas visited a few times for the night, making sure to turn and clean up the patient. Im not sure how the activities are set up in the daytime, but the residents are all dressed and assisted out of there rooms. I did see a few residents sitting in the hallway. I dont know if they were waiting to be transported or were going sit there all day. I did notice the patients were covered up and dressed, so as to not expose them and had cushions where needed in the chairs. One lady they said has been there for over 5 years, smiled at me and would reach out her hand as anyone walked by And the staff did obliged her and hold her hand. It was pretty funny because she did it to the CNA as she went back and forth with the breakfast trays. Facility is average as far as decor but the staff really makes up for it with the small things they do for the residents.
