Memory Care Communities in Ridgecrest, CA

"High Desert Haven was beautiful, looked really nice and clean, and the level of care was more in line with what we need for my grandmother. She could be either in the facility closest to the activities, so that she wouldn't have to travel very far and be assisted to different functions that were going on, like the activities, the community room, and the dining area, or she could have a place that was a little more independent. The independent location would be a little further away so she would have a little bit of a walk into the facility. There's a memory care facility just right next door within walking distance and the one that we were looking at was the assisted care because it offers more on-site care that she needed. The location looked well cared for. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I got to meet the people that prepare the meals and they were very friendly. I met some of the residents and they seemed very happy. I saw both an unoccupied and an occupied room and I could see the activities that were going on. I would highly recommend it. I saw the menu and it looked perfectly fine. They were willing to work with us if we had any special dietary needs. They had vegetarian meals available and they wanted to know if she might be allergic to anything and that was just above and beyond. The facility was lovely. I especially appreciated the design of it. It was easy to get into, so that a person in a wheelchair has easy access. It's situated in a place in the community where there were some lovely views. The halls were wide and the rooms were especially designed so that there wasn't a lot of room to fall down. They were easy to get around in if you have limited mobility. The facility was thoughtfully designed."
