Review for Ridge at The Stratford
It seemed to be the best fit for my mother-in-law. It is a smaller community compared to some of the others we looked at. She said it felt more like home.

About the facility
Ridge at The Stratford

Just west of the Phoenix Mountains, Ridge at The Stratford enjoys iconic Arizona sunsets as they cast golden light, bringing the muted browns of the Arizona desert to life. The spacious campus offers assisted living and memory care services and is surrounded by tree-lined streets in a peaceful residential neighborhood. With friendly neighbors and worry-free living, the active community offers engaging events and activities, delicious meals, and comfortable accommodations to fit your needs and style.

Several courtyards give residents the opportunity to enjoy fresh air while mingling with neighbors or taking a leisurely stroll among the beautifully landscaped grounds. Studio and one-bedroom floor plans offer a variety of layouts, and the trained staff support residents with activities of daily living. In your free time, play a friendly game of pool in the game room or work up a sweat in a fitness class. Then, gather with friends in the dining room for conversation and restaurant-style meals.

Ridge at The Stratford offers a variety of community activities and is conveniently located near many of Phoenix's attractions and recreational opportunities. Enjoy an afternoon with the grandkids at Enchanted Island Amusement Park and then treat them to Chicago-style pizza at Lou Malnati’s...

Nice clean facility, staff very caring, professional and friendly. Food ok. We chose the Ridge because it felt very homey and comfortable. One place we looked at, we really liked the staff, but it was very sterile and stark.

Terrible place
I do not recommend this facility. Do not believe the website...all the pictures are staged. The memory care unit is dirty and the residents are ignored. I know this from personal experience. My mom died from things that happened in this facility. Don't trust these people, do not recommend.

Ask Questions
The cost is somewhat less than other places. Ask as many questions as you can. Tenants aren't allowed to wear open towed shoes so she had to stay in her room until I bought them and brought them over. At times, it has been difficult for my MIL to get her meds in the night. That's about it. No where is perfect.

My dad loves Ridge at The Stratford. He is very involved in the daily work outs and plays Poker a couple of times a month. He has his hair and nails cut once a month, on-site. He enjoys Taco Tuesdays and says they are delicious. They have hearty, yummy meals and desserts daily. Such great care is given by the Ridge community. My dad has an outdoor area where he sits in the sun and reads, birds chirping. This community is friendly, truly loving and safe. Thank you to the entire team at the Ridge, I'm SO grateful!

a nice community with great activities, friendly and caring staff
Everyone is very friendly and know the residents names. They have a ton of activities and that's great for my mom, because she is very social. They have various shows from outside people, bingo, raffles, special theme days and birthday parties. the only thing that is a slight problem, is they are understaffed, do sometimes it takes them a while to respond.

Positive experience
We chose Avamere at Phoenix mainly because of the staff members, they seemed to be very friendly and caring and oriented towards the residents. The room sizes at the facility are super nice, we have the 2 bedroom and it is very spacious with lots of storage space. Overall, I would recommend Avamere to other families looking.

A place where you can go to rest. You don't have to worry about anything and are taken care of.
I liked that they had private rooms and bathrooms. I also liked the interaction with other people, especially at meal times. I liked their security - employees knock on the door before they come in. Although there was one incident where a male employee came into my locked room at about midnight looking for a security token they told me I had lost. I told him to leave and send a female employee, and he did leave. In the morning I found the token they were looking for. Some of the food was microwaved, which I didn't care for. But the dessert was good. And I liked that if I didn't come down to a meal they would come and check on me. I enjoyed the exercise activities. Overall I felt I paid a little too much. I also felt I was the first Native American that had staid there. A lot of the people there were Anglo and non-minorities.

Our Tour Experience
The people who led the tour were friendly, but this just wasn't the community for us. They have a care menu of every little thing that just added up to more and more money, to the point that it was ridiculous. And the facility didn't seem nearly as nice as the other places we looked at. There was just nobody around, and the building was a little bit older. It had kind of a haunted house feel.

Mom's first year
Mom has been at The Stratford for a year now. They have done a great job of dealing with her "special" issues as a smoker. We toured several facilities and still feel this is one of the best available for the price. Mom feels she is in a fancy hotel/apt building - the decor and ambiance are very nice verging on elegant in mom's opinion. Our family members travel a lot and never worry about her well-being or care. They have a well rounded list of activities. Communication is very important.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Arizona regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Arizona regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Ridge at The Stratford

Ridge at The Stratford offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Ridge at The Stratford 8.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
