Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living

We went to Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living. It looks to be a beautiful facility. When you enter the facility and pull into the parking lot, the grounds are very nice. The landscaping was very nice. It was the marketing director who gave us the tour and she did a great job. We did not sample the food. I was disappointed that the kitchen had to transport the food to memory care. I didn't like the layout either. They have activities with the residents in both parts of the facility. There wasn't much going on the day we were there.

My parents moved into Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living last July. A lot of the rooms are older, the room they are in is kind of awkward and small, and I was kind of expecting that. We've been trying to adjust things here and there to make it easy for them. They've been very helpful, but they're stretched thin like almost everybody is nowadays and with getting enough people to help. My parents seem to be doing well, and they have adjusted well. They're very busy, and just like all the other facilities, and I'm sure they're having issues with keeping people too, but they seem to be better at doing it than the last facility mom and dad were in. They have helpers and mom and dad are doing well there. I'm pretty happy with them. The staff is very nice and friendly and concerned when you mention things that you're worried about. So it's good to have somebody that will at least listen to you and try to implement something to help. So that's what they've been doing. With my parents, it's been an issue trying to get them to get out more and speak with other people and everything. So they have been good at doing that. They have like a little patio area where they take them out when they can when it's cool enough out there. And so they have got them out of their room and out of their comfort zone a little more. I'm kind of glad that they have done that. My parents love the food, so they're doing well with that.

My tour experience at Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living was very good. They sat down with me and answered all of my questions. They tried their best to help me qualify my dad so that he could stay there because it's an expensive facility (as most of these memory care facilities are). They tried their best to keep the room available for him. So, they were very accommodating and very understanding. They didn't have that many amenities in the memory care. They just have a fenced-in backyard, a game room (which was quite nice), and a non-denominational chapel where people from memory care and assisted living can gather.

I visited Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living and it was very nice. We had a good visit with the administrator who showed us around and discussed the cost with us. I would definitely recommend it, but it's just less of a transition for my dad to stay where he is at. The administrator was extremely thorough and knowledgeable about things. She was very helpful.

I visited Deerfield Ridge Assisted Living. What I liked best about them was probably their location; it's near where my friends are. What I liked least about them was that I didn't see a whole lot of interaction between the people who live there. They seemed to be somewhat by themselves and not the kind of interaction that I saw at some of the other places. I was not impressed at all. The other problem was that this was the first place I visited, and I sort of didn't know what to look for, and it wasn't till I began to visit a few others that I began to see. But I would suggest more structured opportunities for people to interact with each other, and they may have had that, and I just didn't notice. The person who toured me around was friendly and personable. The facilities were clean and taken care of.

My mom is at Deerfield Ridge and is doing great. So far, she's had a manicure session and she's had her hair done. A lot of activities aren't happening because of COVID and because she was in quarantine when she first got there; being a new resident. They have a full schedule, but she just hasn't been able to participate yet. They have a patio and a sun porch. They also have a TV room, a library, a spa, and a hairdresser place.
