Cherry Ridge Villa

Our mother lived at Aunt Dottie's until she passed at 93 last year. She had dementia and although she knew all of her children until the end, she could still be a handful with the paranoia that comes with alzheimers and dementia. Debi and her staff took such loving good care of our mom and she has become a lifelong friend. This friendship with the families of those she cared for has occurred with many families after their loved one has passed. I could not think of a more loving and caring atmosphere for anyone who needs this kind of care.

That place is fantastic. The care is great. They have exercise almost every day, play games, there is a crafts lady that comes in. The food is unbelievable, I've eaten there. I walked in and they were making custom pizzas for everyone. All of it is from scratch, It's really surprising. I told them if they keep looking like this no one will ever want to leave! My wife is slowly recovering there. She had a cerebellum stroke and is on dialysis. She likes it there. Everybody's friendly and everybody gets along. They all eat together like it's little house on the prairie. She treats them as family. I can see why there's not many vacancies there. I think she's got 5 or 6 people there now. They do an excellent job.

My mom was there. Really, they were not bad, they just could not handle all of my mother's needs because she has a high level of care. That was the main thing, is that they didn't have that kind of care. I think they weren't charging their people enough, really, to have enough employees to keep the level of high care that my mother particularly needed. Other than that everything was okay.
