Our Family's Experience With Echo Ridge

I would recommend Echo Ridge to others. The staff is friendly, caring and respectful. The food and choices are good. Various activities and friendly residents. Transportation is a plus. Having therapy for different needs is also a plus. Walking trail and also indoor exercise equipment. Many choices for living your senior life.

Review for Holiday Echo Ridge

The transition for the ladies was tough. Remodeling was taking place at the time, and some staff changes did not help. Overall, however, the experience has been okay.

Beautiful and cozy

I have been about four years. The setting couldn’t be more beautiful. The building is newly redecorated. The food is good. We have four items to choose from each meal. The staff is caring and this place is small enough we are like family. It’s nice to have people who care.
