Sunny Ridge

I toured Sunny Ridge. It was clean, and the staff I interacted with were all very, very friendly. The thing I like least about it is that it's regimented. I'm reclusive, and I can't deal with being crowded into a tight situation where every time I turn around, there are people that I gotta wait on them, they gotta wait on me. I can't deal with that. They showed me the layout of a room that would contain a very small living space and a large closet, and the bathroom was okay, but other than that, it's like a little studio box. They said they provide meals. That's fine as far as it goes, but I'm not interested in it. There's a very small little kitchen that I'd end up having to share with a whole bunch of other people. I can prepare my meals. I need to have space to do that. The staff was personable. I haven't got a single bad thing to say about the contact with people. They are amenable, nice, and pleasant, and everything is good. However, the living conditions are stacked together, like you're jammed into a tiny space like sardines in a can. People were stacked on top of each other, and there was no room to turn, autonomy, separateness, or possibility, except for going to my little, very tiny room and closing the door. I would have no personal space.

Sunny Ridge was great. Everybody that is my age or older needs to check into it. I checked out the menu. It looked very nutritious.

I liked Sunny Ridge. They were remodeling when I was there. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They showed a small efficiency where your bed and everything is in the room and it had a separate bathroom and a closet and that's it. It's a little bit small for me because I'm in a two-bedroom now with a large bathroom. It was clean. They had a library, and the activities were nice. They were remodeling the kitchen dining room area, so there wasn't too much going on. The library was open and they had games and stuff that you could play. They had a little kitchen area that you could use for snacks and a washer and dryer in that area where you could do your laundry. It was a good setup. They have a bus that can take you shopping or to your doctor's appointments and they have outings.

Sunny Ridge was very nice and very clean. They seemed very caring, but it was like right at $3000 a month and it's something we could not afford. Value-wise, I thought it was good, it was just out of our budget at the moment. I like the area where it is. It's very homey. They were just remodeling. The staff was wonderful. It was in a nice neighborhood community.

My mom has been in Sunny Ridge for about a week and a half now. We were very impressed with the overall feel when we walked in, the friendliness of the residents that lived there, the longevity of time they spent their, and the services available. Several of our friends randomly went and visited once they knew that we were going to have my mom live there. I didn't know they were going to go visit. They just walked in because they wanted to see, and they had the very same thoughts that we had. When you're talking to the residents that have been there anywhere from 3 to 5 years, that says something. They are happy, too. There are senior activities. The day that we were moving my mom in, there was a person that brought in bongo drums or something. There were several people sitting around learning to play bongo drums. They take them to Walmart. They also provide transportation to medical appointments. They have a hair salon and laundry facilities. There are church services on Sunday and different activities going on.

We toured Sunny Ridge. It was terrible. It was very institutional. It didn't feel like an independent living situation, it felt more like a higher level of care. The lady at the desk didn't know anything about our visit, so she didn't have any record of us coming that day. She was a little upset that we were there. We saw one room and the main area that was kind of the entrance area. It was dated, and it was old. It seemed to be clean, but it was too institutional. My wife and I both right away said this was not a good place for my mother to be. And the staff was kind of grumpy with us.
