About Pearls of Life at Liberty Ridge in Lynchburg, Virginia

Just across the street from our Liberty Ridge community is Pearls of Life, a brand new Memory Support building customized specifically for seniors who struggle with Alzheimer's Disease or other forms of dementia. Pearls of Life offers a secure, peaceful setting with spacious common areas and an abundance of windows and light. Along with industry-leading care and medical oversight, we provide the region's most innovative advances in memory support, all designed to help soothe residents and promote positive interactions with staff and family members. Innovative Support Pearls of Life features Snoezelen rooms (multi-sensory rooms), an industry-leading concept that provides a calming effect on residents living with Alzheimer's disease. Hallways integrate one-of-a-kind interactive environments where residents can draw shapes, play games, and move objects around simply by touching the wall. Several multi-sensory life skill centers are equipped with familiar objects, such as a rotary telephone, display train set, military uniforms, as well as vintage ovens, cabinets, cribs, and washing machines that enable residents to interact, to be stimulated, and to recall everyday life experiences. All of these advances in care are designed to reduce the risk of aggressive behavior, improve overall mood, and even reduce the amount of medication needed. Studies show that the mood shift caused by the Snoezelen environment increases self-esteem, reduces inhibitions, and gives residents confidence in themselves, reducing the risk of self-injury by 75%. Living At Pearls of Life at Liberty Ridge, the building itself is designed to facilitate the care of our seniors in a number of ways, including a community area called Main Street, designed to look like an old-fashioned line of shops, enclosed outdoor gardens and central patios where residents can safely enjoy sunshine and fresh air, windows and skylights throughout to maximize the natural light, and continuous floor plans so residents can walk without reaching dead ends. Residents enjoy private, spacious rooms, and furnishings are classic yet comfortable, so seniors feel right at home as soon as they walk through the door. Activities Runk & Pratt constantly enriches the lives of our residents by keeping a calendar full of events that engage our seniors mentally, physically, and spiritually. Full-time activities directors work with healthcare professionals to ensure that the events bring true health and happiness to our residents. All of our events are designed by our trained activities coordinators to engage all of the senses and to prevent restlessness for seniors with memory support needs.

I visited this facility

We have chosen Pearls of Life at Liberty Ridge for my friend. I thought it was well-apportioned. It was very nice. It looked clean and it smelled clean, so I had no problem with cleanliness. The person who accommodated me was very knowledgeable and very helpful. They had activity centers where they could meditate and play a game. They had a patio area, too. I also appreciated that they had an area where they could go in and play around like women could remodel the kitchen and put things in different places. It was very nice. It's the best one I have seen to date.

I visited this facility

We toured Pearls of Life at Liberty Ridge. It seemed very nice, new, and very clean. The staff seemed friendly and helpful. They had some stimulating rooms where they had images on the walls that had birds flying, bird behavior, and fish aquarium kind of a thing. It's just something for them to look at. It sounded like they had some very smart concepts there.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother is living at Pearls of Life. All of her caregivers have been nice. The director has been very helpful and cares about his seniors. What I really like is: When I call someone will answer the phone. Other places not so true. My mother has been wearing her own clothes. At another nursing home she was wearing clothes that were not her's and when I moved her I had to buy her all new clothes. As far a meals go, I've read that someone said they can't go in when they are eating. I have not found that to be true. I go in when she is eating and have even encouraged her to eat. I have also called and talked to a nurse. There is no perfect place anywhere I don't care how much you pay. This nursing home is pretty good. Another important fact is that they call you if there are any changes with your love on.

My brother is in Pearls of Life at Liberty Ridge. The facility is gorgeous. I've never seen anybody cleaning, and they don't assist that much as far as bedmaking and keeping the room straight. The room is always a mess like there are clothes in baskets. I've only seen him eat maybe once. I didn't like the meal that I saw, but he eats anything. He seems to enjoy his meals. I have not been there when they're doing activities. We're not allowed to go when they're eating or when they're having activities. I did go at one time, and they had someone in there and they were singing, but that's the only activity I've seen. They have a salon, but I've never seen anybody in there. They have what they call like a little store, so it's just a little room that if the residents want to go in and feel like they're shopping and pick up something in there. They have a room which is dark like you're looking up and you're seeing the stars and it has very calming music, so it's really pretty. I'll take my brother in there and just sit and talk because that's a nice place. They also have a little kitchen area like you would have for a little girl and you can pretend that you're eating dinner and stuff like that. They have a room that is set up with doll babies with cribs, and I have seen women walking around holding the doll babies thinking that they're real, which I think that's wonderful and that's what I would want when I go. It's equipped nicely. It's very nice. I just find that they don't keep the rooms looking nice. It's pretty messy. Also, for some reason, a lot of people are walking around without shoes because they lose their shoes. Like I see my brother walking down the hall all the time with just one sock on. I don't see a lot of staff, not like at the other place. The desk people are very nice. The director is very nice, too. I really haven't seen any cleaning people. The staff that I met are very nice. I like the guy that is in charge. I don't have anything to compare it to, I don't see where my brother getting any better care than he got at the other place. They say that their prices are so much higher because the care has to be better, but I don't see any care. He has a shared room and it has a bathroom and a shower.

I visited this facility

This building provides plenty of space inside and out for those struggling with the need for memory care to walk, wander, touch interactive walls, and engage in rooms designed especially for them. The residents seem less agitated here with natural light, the ability to go outside, calming colors, and areas designed for them, like a sensory room. There's always activities going on and I've never been in the building and not been able to easily find a worker. Seeing other seniors from their independent living community next door being able to frequently and easily visit their spouses or family members here is heartwarming. They are able to stay close and participate in activities together, or just have lunch. Great place if you are looking for a memory care community.

Our family is very pleased with the care Mom receives. The facility is beautiful with individual rooms furnished with her personal furniture from home... The building is situated so there are windows in every area letting natural light in, decorated with various interactive boards with beautiful scenes, sparkling clean. Residents are kept active with a multitude of activities on/off site. I hate to say employees so will refer to them as caregivers who are patient, knowledgeable and loving to all of the residents. With “memory issues” the residents can become agitated - the caregivers gently work with the resident to “love them down”. Caregivers treat we family members as siblings and “love us down” also as we sometime get caught up with watching our Mom’s declining memory. I recommend “Pearls of Life” as a great home for loved ones...
