Pine Ridge of Hayes

My 99 year old grandma is a current resident,for about 4 years now.She was heartbroken to leave her house that she lived in for 60 years,so everybody was very worried how she would acclimate.It didn't last long.She loves it!Delicious food in the central dining room,cute little screened in porch,kitchenette in her apartment,nice sized living room & a large bedroom..Most importantly,to us,is the caring staff.They routinely go over and above & we sure do appreciate that!It is perfect for her needs.

Pine Ridge of Hayes Senior Living has a very neat concept because all of the apartments have a screened-in back porch, which is awesome. The community felt more homey to me, but it looked, smelled, and felt old to me. The apartments were not updated. Their cupboards in the kitchen were probably never updated, but they’ve been painted so many times. They probably had the best food. My father liked the community the best because it was all on one floor. There was no upstairs, and it had a backyard and a courthouse. They had the least amount of accommodations. There wasn’t a movie theater which was appealing and kind of neat for them to be able to go to the movies inside.

Pine Ridge of Hayes Senior Living is a really cute community. The cutest thing about it is they actually have outdoor living space for the residents. It was the only property we looked at that was all on 1-floor. If you have somebody who is on a motor scooter or needs handicapped accessibility, you don’t have to worry about stairs or about elevators, which is great. Mom liked this place because it was all on one floor. They had screened porches for every resident, so off the back of your apartment you had a screened in porch, so you could still have a little outdoor time, and they have a little garden club. The residents were a little older than mom, but the activities director and the staff were very in-tune with the residents. There were only 83 or 85 residents, so it was the best ratio as far as residents to the location. She had put a down payment on them as far as to hold the apartment. They have one apartment coming available, so we were really interested in moving forward, and this was the first place we looked at that didn’t have a wait, so there was a lot of positive to it. But the apartments were just so outdated and I don’t know if they fix them up before they put the residents into them. This one hadn’t been fixed up yet, but there was apparent mold damage. It was really outdated, and there was also a gentleman smoking right in front of the building when we got there. He was a resident, and that really turned us off because mom, every time she was watching the front door, would complain about that cigarette smoke. Charlene was the woman we spoke to, and she was a blessing. I really commend her for all of her efforts; she was great. I also talked to her colleague, Mary, over the phone, and she was great as well. I cannot say enough good things about the folks that work there, and we’ve already told them that we would keep them in mind if there was another move in the near future. Each apartment has a dropdown like an attic storage area, and you don’t see that anywhere. So if you have somebody who is looking to move and has a lot of stuff, rather junking the trunk, this might be the place you might look for because you have enough attic space in there, and there is nothing extra added to your rent because it is in your apartment.

Pine Ridge of Hayes seemed to be old. The construction was very dated, and my wife did not like it at all. The staff person was very nice; she also showed us around, answered all of our questions, and was very friendly. We saw them playing Bingo, and we saw the rooms where people can play games or do puzzles.

Pine Ridge of Hayes was fine. I believe it was more expensive than some of the other ones I have been looking at. It was excellent, and everything was fine. It was clean, neat, smelled good, and looked good.

They were very helpful, and the apartment at Pine Ridge of Hayes was more appropriate for my dad. It had things that he liked, the people were accommodating, the apartment was available, and we liked it. So far, it has only been a month and a half, and we haven’t had any issues yet, but he seemed to be happy there. He seems to like the food, so that’s a good thing. I think it’s going to work out.

Pine Ridge was nice but old and terribly dated. It seemed they had all the amenities for people for less than half if what it costs where my mom is now, but it's a lot smaller. I think they're pretty good and nice, especially for the price.

Mom is at Pine Ridge of Hayes. I like us being able to choose the variety of services on an a la carte basis. The staff was very helpful. They have single bedroom apartments with small efficiency kitchens. Each room has a patio area as well. They have a central dining room which mom gets escorted to and from on a regular basis.
