I visited Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community, but they've expanded significantly since I was there. I was trying to decide whether I was going to have my wife go over there for a short-term PT. 80% of the facilities are brand new. It's just very well done. The safety factors were very good. For an assisted living situation, they were very good. The food was nourishing, it was done well, but it just was institutional-like you'd get in the hospital. It was certainly not individualized. In other words, you didn't have menus where you can get different things.
I was able to visit all three care levels. They're not in the same building, there are three different units, but they are all on the same campus and yes, I've visited all of them. I thought activities were lacking. If people were doing activities, it was mostly with friends or relatives. It was not with the staff, it was with other people. Virtually all of the interaction was with other people and not with the staff. I wasn't all that pleased with the staff, but they were just staffing up because they've expanded. Because of the expansion that they have done, they were in the major hiring when I was there, so I wouldn't have put my wife there at the time because of the staff. The facilities were very good. They're brand new, they're state-of-the-art and they're very well done.

My friend has lived at Pioneer Ridge for a long time, and I visit her regularly. I was impressed with the care that she was given. They have a huge building. Everything that I have heard from people who have been there was that they were satisfied. When I was visiting my friend, they had bingo going on, and I know they have Bible study. They play bingo in the dining room. They have an aviary that some of the seniors really enjoy.

We chose Pioneer Ridge as it has access to friends and family. The staff seems to be very nice, and my father was very impressed. They came from another retirement community, and the staff here is friendlier than the staff down there. The rooms and apartments are fairly small but enough. One thing I found was while we were comparing that a couple of places we looked at were not ADA accessible. The food is significantly less but adequate. They have ice cream socials as part of their activities.

My father is living in Pioneer Ridge now, and it is adequate. There is not as much engagement with the residents that I would like. There are no real activities that my father is interested in, and the transition moving there was not good. The staff is nice, but they are just not around a lot. His room is a studio, and it is adequate. The repairs haven’t been kept-up, and there are obviously patched holes in the walls. It is not anything to get really excited about.

My father stayed at Pioneer Ridge for two weeks for rehab for recovery and really liked it. The help was very prompt, very positive, and cheerful. It was quiet when you needed to sleep at night. There was a TV, refrigerator, chair, and bathroom. He seemed to think the food was fine.

My mother is in Pioneer Ridge. They have an excellent staff. The neighborhood is very nice. It is a beautiful place. They also have an assisted living portion. It is one of their many aspects. It has a little bit of everything.
