Pine Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center

The staff at Pine Ridge was wonderful, very caring, compassionate, and attentive. The food looked, and smelled good; but I never ate it. The rooms were very nice-sized. There were shared rooms, and some private ones; which had quite a bit of room to move around. They had music, games, puzzles, and activities everywhere. With the Alzheimer's, they had something simple as folding towels, trivia, etc.

Pine Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center has wide halls and semi-private rooms. There is plenty of staff at all times. My mom never misses a meal. There is a dessert with every meal, and you cannot disturb her while she is eating. Now, I can see her twice a week easily. Mom is thriving a lot more with more people -- more social life. She is much happier here than she was in the last place. They had things scheduled all day long whether or not mom gets in on all of it. There is a round walking path that they can follow. There are games, puzzles, and crafts. They said they do horseracing for the men. They put root beer in a beer bottle so that when they’re horse racing, they will have a beer. Someone comes in with music, or there is a piano playing during lunch. It has movie time with popcorn a couple of times. They had bingo. You walk in, and they have a card game going.
