My mother is very happy at Forest Ridge

My family is very pleased with Forest Ridge. The staff has been very attentive and welcoming to my Mother. She enjoys the meals there and has made friends that she always sits with. She has had the freedom to decorate her room just the way she wants. And the beautiful scenic Mountain views surrounding Forest Ridge cannot be beat!

I could not have been more pleased with our experience at Forest Ridge

Staff was very competent, friendly and showed my loved one much support and guidance. Room was beautiful. I especially liked that each room had it’s own bathroom, making the transition more like home.

Caring Assisted Living Facility

This is a well maintained and clean facility and has a wonderful staff. They provided excellent care and were intentional in ensuring our loved one was well cared for during his stay. They were available when needed to provide updates or work with the care plan when needed. I would recommend this facility to anyone looking for a caring and professional home for someone in need of assisted living.

Intake of my mother as a client

[name removed] and [name removed] were amazing. They understood and were very carrying. Easy and went fast getting ready for us. Make momma very comfortable. They came to visit us in the emergency Department of Ashe Hospital and explained how their system worked and went over their system. They make the hospital staff understand what we needed and understood what the nurses and Doctors wanted for momma. I could not ask for a more supportive two ladies. I cried and they were so supportive of me.
