Clean facility but spendy!

Deer Ridge Memory care is very expensive considering the actual care involved. What it is is an apartment with meals and very little nursing care. So although the staff are friendly and kind I wouldn't call them thorough. My husband is a 6'5" man. His meals at Deer Ridge are the exact same as meals given to women who are 5 feet tall and frail. He is slowly losing weight there. But we do like the staff. The facility is clean and new.

Deer Ridge Memory Care

The people I met were very pleasant and attentive. The only thing is she had a black pants and hoodie and it came up missing, her name was on the tag, I was told not to bring any nice outfits by others. Another lady that is there, I've been told was missing nice outfits and they think its the staff, personally I don't know, but a week and the nicest outfit missing. When it comes to the clothing issue, maybe mesh bag with resident name on it or just don't wash clothes???

Experience 2 years ago

It was not a satisfactory experience for me. They lost his hearing aids and he was basically deaf and his glasses. My husband's dementia was not well suited for that environment. The pandemic did not help. I was in the process of moving him when I had to move him to a behavioral/ psychiatric hospital to get him calmed down. He got Covid again and he died [date removed]. Not really able to hear me or his son and say our goodbyes. Such a sad time for me and his son. I am hoping it has improved. It was a fairly

Deer Ridge Review

Mom is doing well at Deer Ridge. They have been having Staffing issues, need more caregivers. The head nurse, [name removed] is the best! There are a few exceptional caregivers.

The meals are great! The staff are always friendly and seem to be very caring with the residents. I am not in her room much, but the rest of the facility seems very clean. My mom came from the hospital when she moved in and it was a smooth transition. I would recommend Deer Ridge Memory Care to others.
