Walnut Ridge Memory Care

Walnut Ridge is under new management. I couldn't be happier with the care there. Staff has been great with meeting needs of the residents. I understand, as with any care residence, it can seem overwhelming, but the staff and management has been doing a wonderful job! I would recommend Walnut Ridge to anyone that has a need for memory care.

I wouldn't place a farm animal in the facility. The staff is RUDE RUDE RUDE. The med techs just walk around and complain about their jobs, they will leave many patients in bed during meals, I have whittness the aides yell at patients on multiple occasions. The DON doesn't give anyone the time of day. She acts like she's to important or "busy" to listen to your concerns. I've watched her walk away in the middle of people talking to her before. The care is pitiful. These patients are not getting what they are paying for. My aunt has bruises on her arms and hands. She doesn't walk, so how does she have these??? Hmm maybe from staff pulling her up by her hands/arms. The building isn't to bad but the staff absolutely make this place a joke of the community.

I choose Walnut Ridge for my mom because it is very convenient for my family. The staff is very friendly and really on top of things. However, they can always use more staff.

For $100++ a day, one would expect more than just another warehouse for the aged, but this is pretty much what Walnut Ridge is. Don't expect to find your loved one in his own wheelchair or using his own walker or sitting on the pillow you paid for, or wearing his own clothes for that matter -- nobody seems to care! They don't walk them (although they are willing to charge much, much extra for "rehab), they don't seem to change them much, They do have a "gameroom" for everybody to throw the ball around or play bingo -- are you kidding me!
