Copper Ridge

My husband was in Copper Ridge for rehab. The first time he went there I found that incredibly good, I was very, very impressed. After he left he had nothing but good things to say about them, except the food wasn't always great. He was very well cared for, his meds were on time, he had PT five days a week, the staff was very good with him, very professional, but also very friendly and took time to get to know him. The place was very clean, there was no odor, there was no smell of urine or disinfectants covering up urine. It has nice surroundings, you can visit outside, there's fences, it's well landscaped, very well kept outside, lots of parking for visitors. They also have a cafe in the lobby that was open at least six days a week, until 7:00 p.m. They had several chefs, you as a neighbor in the community could come in there and have your lunch as well, so the patients could have their lunch there, or they could meet their families there and visit in the big lobby. It was very congenial. They also had support groups for family members as well.

We're in the process of moving my dad in to Copper Ridge. Everything is very nice and seems to be a caring place. I think my dad will do well there. It looked like it was orderly and they had a lot of stuff to do. They had a physician on staff which was nice. They have art, pets, all sorts of stuff. The staff was very nice and the intake coordinator whom I had been in contact with periodically has been very nice and professional. The rooms are nice, large and private.

We chose Copper Ridge because the care is superior compared to others and they take Medicaid. We know that if all of the money is gone, they won't turn us onto the streets like some of the other places. They have a bistro, which is very nice and inviting. It's a little bit dated and needs some updating. The staff seems to care for the residents. They have music and are doing more than some of the other places we've looked at. The main thing is memory care, it's kind of sad because you have these people with dementia and Alzheimer's sprinkled in with the younger people and my mom doesn't like it. We like that they're very responsive like when we told them that we're not comfortable with the area where my mom's room is at, so they will be moving her to another room next week. The food is institutional as expected, they're not using a lot of spices because they're watching the sodium levels of their elderly residents. The try to do more and have physical therapy when it's needed. It costs much more than we thought, but for the value, it's still good.

Copper Ridge was what we wanted for my mother-in-law, but it is extremely expensive. They won't even take her because you have to have at least $300,000 in the bank before they accept you. On top of it all, they also charge you for laundry. They charge you for every little thing, but it's a gorgeous, beautiful place and the people were very kind. The food smelled wonderful, and they make beautiful gourmet meals. It's a wonderful place if you are rich.

This Alzheimer/dementia facility has just what we need for our aunt, who is slipping into the moderate stage of Alzheimer's. They offer an evaluation stay to help determine the needs of each resident. They also review daily the progress and/or changes going on with each resident. The facility was clean, bright and welcoming, and we plan to move our aunt there, when the time comes. We highly recommend Copper Ridge.
