My dad has thrived at Ridge Manor. It is clean and the staff is caring and supportive. The owners, Jason and Annie are responsive to any concerns. My dad is a quiet person so the small environment and 1:6 ratio is great for him. Being able to visit him even if outside on the porch is a plus.

My wife is at Ridge Manor Residential Memory Care - Canton. The layout is fine. It's clean and well taken care of. They've got friendly staff. She is comfortable there. The food looked very good to me. Ridge Manor is not perfect, but they're good. It's extremely clean. It's more than I can afford, but it's a lot less expensive than other places I looked at.

I visited this facility
Ridge Manor has a very nice and quiet atmosphere. It was very clean and well-kept. The rooms were the adequate size. When the windows were open, they had a nice view of the woods. They have a television already set up. It's a nice home. They have renovated it very nicely for the purpose that they are using it for. The home care part and memory care are all in the same facility. I did not taste anything. They showed me the menu, and it had a nice variety. The residents get to choose between two choices each meal for what they want to have. They do religious services too. I did not ask if they allowed pets, but they had a little puppy there that was running around when I was there.

It is a small personal care home which is a perfect setting for my dad who is not overly social. He gets just enough social interaction and activity. The owners Jasona and Annie are wonderful to work with and provide great things for the residents there.
Provider Response
It is a pleasure to care for your dad. Thank you for the kind words.

My mother was a resident at Ridge Manor. I can't begin to express my gratitude to the staff for their loving care. From making her favorite meal easing her arrival to providing a warm and loving presence during her last days. Mom enjoyed the wonderful home cooked meals, the stimulating activities and beautiful surroundings. Her caregivers became her new best friends. Not only was the staff respectful of my mother but of me. I was consistently informed of any issues that arose and was warmly welcomed whenever I visited.

My prayers were answered when we found Ridge Manor for my mom with dementia. My dad and I looked at numerous memory care facilities in Canton, but none could compare to the love and attention she receives at Ridge Manor. The ratio is 1:6 twenty four hours per day. Most of the other facilities we looked at were 1:8 during the day and 1:10 or 16 at night. My mother is a big fall risk and needed much more attention than the larger facilities could offer. She has a mat next to her bed which chimes so that they know when she gets up.
The caregivers at Ridge Manor have completely spoiled my mother. They know her favorite foods and drinks and they offer them routinely. They do not get upset when she is agitated and know exactly how to calm her down. They call me if mom doesn’t eat a meal, if she didn’t sleep well, or if she shows any signs of not feeling well. I’m a nurse by trade and I completely trust Jason and the caregivers with the care of my beloved mom.

My mother has been living at Ridge Manor for over a year now and our family couldn't be happier. Mom is well cared for and the staff is caring, responsive and friendly. I most appreciate that the home is in a regular house, in a residential neighborhood, with a lovely view and private wooded area.

I've been amazed at how much happier my father is at Ridge Manor. He is in late stages of Alzheimers and was very depressed prior to arriving there. The staff and owners have been phenomenal. He enjoys listening to Frank Sinatra and play it for him regularly. His favorite meal is fried chicken with gravy and they added it to the menu when he arrived. The management is very responsive and provide updates regularly. If you have a loved one that needs memory care Ridge Manor is a great option that I would recommend.

I am so glad we found Ridge Manor. My mother was previously in a larger community that was owned by a big company. It focused more on fine dining and movie theaters. Only shortly after my mom fell and fractured her hip we realized that she needed much more care that they could not provide. Ridge Manor had much better oversight with their 1:6 caregiver to resident ratio and personalized the care by doing activities and cooking foods that my mother enjoys. The owners are hands on and frequently visit the facility. This is definitely one of the best decisions I have made.
