Review for Ridgecrest Retirement & Healthcare Community
We picked this community, because of the location and value for cost. They were more proactive to gain my confidence than the others I evaluated. They took very good care of my dad, kept him happy and well fed, and kept me informed at every point along the journey. It is hard to care for a parent from a long distance. The staff understood that, and kept me in the loop at every step.

Our experience so far
My loved one is currently a resident at Ridgecrest Retirement and Healthcare Community. The staff at this facility are lovely once you're in. They were somewhat overwhelmed when we started out. Communication with the family is good.

Not the right fit
The price is really good which was the main reason it attracted us, they have assisted living and skilled nursing the issue is assisted living did not have the level of care we needed going forward. They were also very unorganized. One of our main issues was that they do not adhere to any dietary restrictions or have special menus. There were some really good aspects as well. I think it would be a great place for someone who does not need as much care. But for someone who needs a lot of care or a specific diet, it is probably not the best fit.

Nice and affordable
Ridgecrest Retirement has very nice sized apartments for the price. It is an older community but it is very well maintained and clean. Very elegant atmosphere, almost like an old hotel. We would recommend the community to others.

I would recommend
We chose Ridgecrest because I have worked with their marketing person before. It is an older facility but it is very nice, the price was also right for us. She gets excellent care here, she has been in many facilities and this is the best care that she has gotten by far. The room sizes here are very large and spacious. The food could use improvement, they do not seem to have a lot of variety and she has the same things over and over. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

Very nice place!
We toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. I was very impressed by Ridgecrest Retirement! All of the people we met were so nice and so accommodating! The facility itself is beautiful and clean, and it is located very conveniently to my parents' doctor. I would definitely recommend them as being worth a look!

Sales Person Never Called Back
They didn't really have memory care. Their building wasn't secured. It was on the lake but I didn't care for their sales person. She never would call me back and she kept my mother's medical records - I never got them back. She never called to tell me that they really couldn't accommodate her needs so I gave up on them.

Kind of Dark
When my father went there it was almost a brand new place but he said it was too dark. I think they were trying to make it look homey and things with the dim lights but my dad just did not like that at all!
