Review for The Heathers - Ringwood

I would say, it's the best place to put a love one in bar none. It really is like a home instead of an institution. The staff really care about the residences. It is secure. They are well taken care of.

Critical

Great Assisted Living - Lacking certain needs for Memory Care

Our loved one lived at The Heathers in Ringwood for almost 10 months. It is very clean and feels cozy. The care partners were great. However, I feel there is not enough staff or nursing presence in Ringwood to support Memory Care, which is what we needed. There is a lack of activities in Ringwood and I feel this is critical for memory care. The dining options were not as originally presented. Our loved one suffered a setback, as is common with Alzheimer's. She was unable to walk for a couple of weeks. We were asked

Our experience with Shepard premiere senior living was different than traditional nursing/assisted living homes. This place was super clean and home cooked meals were awesome. Shepard was more like real home life where they had a 1-5 ratio between nursing staff and residence when my dad moved in . This was a place where the staff was compassionate, caring and knowledgeable. They respected my dad and took care of him the way we wanted him to be cared for when my sister, brother in law, brother, sister in-law and mys

Professional Personable Care

My sister and I couldn’t have asked for a better place for our father to be! When we were searching for a nursing home/care facility for our father and trying to find the care affordable and yet a place we would place ourselves in if needed, we never knew how overcome with love we could feel for a place until we visited Shepherd Premier! Our search was over once we walked through their front door! It was a home inside a care facility! We knew the transition for our father would be an easy one because of the home at
