The call button they give you to hang around your neck in case of emergency never worked. Each time I was there to visit my mom, I would press the button, and no on ever came. I had them test it. They confirmed it worked but didn't seem concerned that it was not being answered. They seemed very short-staffed, as are many places right now. We ended up moving our loved one to another facility.

I would highly recommend the Ridge Foothill to anyone looking for an assisted living or memory care facility. The leadership team, support staff, care team, and existing residents are second to none. It was a blessing for our family and my Mother in Law to be able to spend her time at the Ridge during a difficult time in her life. The love and compassionate support from the moment we met with them and toured the facility to the time she left were above and beyond.

My grandma was at “the ridge” and it was fantastic. The connections to the staff that were made there far out lived my grandma’s stay there. We truly felt like she was being cared for by an extension of our family. The facility was fantastic and it was always clean and pretty. I wouldn’t choose a different place for a loved one. Everything from amenities to the staff, it is all great at the ridge. My grandma was my best friend and we talked every single day. I never heard her complain and the staff always went above and beyond to help her with things.

Made a SURPRISE VISIT to see my dad in the memory unit. His room and bathroom were filthy. The smell of urine. The food in dining room was good. Not the case in memory unit! Needs improvement for the $$$$ it costs.

We chose The Ridge because of the location and there were some people who we knew were here. The price was also right. They were very responsive to our needs when she was here. The room sizes were adequate for her needs, she had a studio. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

They provided a great selection of locations, several of which were exactly what we were looking for. We settled on one and couldn't be happier. Finding homes is difficult on your own, but they make it so easy to find a research places.

September 14, 2019Thank you so much for the five-star review, Glenn! The search for a retirement community can be challenging and it was an honor to make it as smooth as possible for you and your loved ones. We’re absolutely thrilled to have Birgitt as one of the newest members of the Ridge Foothill family.
Excellent facility and I can see moving my mom here. As we finalize plans to move to Utah in 2019 we will be in touch and hope to find an available room. Very new, spacious rooms and amenities galore. Convenient location when coming from Summit County.

September 24, 2018We’re thrilled you enjoyed touring our community and are certain your mother would love it just as much. We can’t wait to show her around when the time comes. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for tips, recommendations or assistance with her move or any other aspects of retirement planning. Thank you so much for the great review!
Don't bother. The beautiful lobby and rooms are the ONLY good thing. The people don't care about your loved one and only look to cover themselves. They never did a care plan - even when I pointed out we hadn't done one. Any request gets a defensive reaction and "that's not what we do here." They make no apologies from mishandling meds to simple maintenance to their supposed housekeeping and no attempt to help or find an alternate solution. Dinner service is appalling - taking over an hour to get through a meal because they are so slow to take an order (can take 20 minutes before a server recognizes a new table), forgetting drinks and don't imagine you will get your small glass refilled even with water, another 20 minutes or more to serve it (usually wrong or forgetting something) and then no follow up. Last night my mom spilled a full glass of water on the table and no one came to clean it up while we sat trying to use non-absorbent napkins so we just covered it and tried to carry on a conversation for another 30 minutes and absolutely no care from the staff. We will be moving mom as soon as we can find a new place.

The staff at the Ridge were so friendly and helpful when I was in immediate need of moving my mom from one facility to another. They went above and beyond to make our transition easy and to make my mom feel welcome and cared for. Not only did they take great care of her, but they regularly checked in with me and my family to make sure that we were satisfied. They have great activities for their residents and the facility is beautiful. And their rates are very reasonable. The Ridge is an outstanding facility.

The staff at the Ridge went above and beyond to welcome my mom to their facility. What could have been a very tough transition from another facility, turned out to be one of the easiest. Their facility is beautiful and they do everything they can to make your loved ones feel at home. They also take the time to check in with the family to make sure that everything is being taken care of and that they are providing the best possible service.

The Ridge Foothill Senior Living welcomed me in a way I never expected! A whole month between February 8th and March 8th, 2018, I lived among them, dined with them, chatted with them, exercised with them, heard chunks of their stories, and shared mine with them. My stay here intended for me to recuperate from my surgery, which became a luxurious retreat in a lovely setting, best meals and many services that I assured the best. I enjoyed the recreation which I needed to heal my body and soul. I am grateful to the staff who provided the services and to the community of residents who befriended me. The wealth of their individual knowledge never ceased to amaze me!

March 26, 2018Thank you for sharing, Shahpar. At a time of physical recuperation, it’s wonderful you also found plenty of intellectual and social stimulation through our services, amenities and endlessly interesting residents. We wish you good health moving forward, and should you ever decide to transition to a community like ours on a more permanent basis, we hope you’ll keep us in mind.
This was a beautiful facility overlooking the Salt Lake Valley. It is an all inclusive facility without stoves for cooking. You can live there independently if you eat in dining room. [name removed] was a gracious host and quite helpful. It is quite a drive from our children but close to the VA. The staff really take care of rooms and beds changed weekly and made each day. For now this is not right for us when LTC kicks in. I will contact you next week to set up more appts. [name removed]

March 8, 2018Thank you for visiting us, and we look forward to hearing from you again next week. We hope we’ve given you a glimpse of how convenient retirement can be at The Ridge Foothill – we take care of the little stuff so you have plenty of time to pursue the opportunities you’ve always dreamed of.

My Mom and Dad were the first residents of The Ridge when it opened in December 2016. Dad has since passed away, but Mom is enjoying it there. She always talks about how delicious the food is! Family members have eaten there, too, and we all have liked the food. I'm impressed that nearly all of the staff know her name and always greet her. They are courteous and helpful with any requests. The rooms are cleaned regularly and the common areas are always clean and well maintained. Mom says she is very happy to be there, which means everything to us!

I lived there for a month while confined to a wheelchair while I rehabed. The facility is amazing. It is a beautiful facility with amazing views. The resturant overlooks a wonderful city view and the chef provides a wide variety of wonderful meals. There are great spaces for everyone to sit and visit with guests. They have a theater room, art room, demonstration kitchen, exercise room, gameroom, and beauty salon. There is a big meeting room. I loved every minute I lived there and was a little sad when I was hhealed enough to leave. Everyone on the staff is very upbeat and supportive. I have never seen a better staff. They take care of the residents body, mind, and soul.

March 1, 2018Crystal, it was an honor for us to provide you with the care necessary for a full recovery and we’re happy to hear that you had a wonderful experience at our community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you’re ever considering a permanent move to a retirement community in the future. We’d be more than happy to have you as a resident. Thank you so much for the great review.
Sure the place looks fantastic all modern and what not but do not let the looks deceive you. It’s obvious they put more money into looks rather than things that actually matter like the quality of food. If you can even call it food I have to take my dad out for meals constantly because the food is so terrible he doesn’t even like eating it. They are small portions served on dirty dishes. All in all not impressed by this facility

March 1, 2018We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us and are disappointed to hear about you and your father’s dissatisfaction. We pride ourselves in offering a premier retirement experience, including a gourmet dining program featuring local, fresh, organic and gluten-free options. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly or to stop by next time you’re on campus to discuss your father’s experience in greater detail. We’re looking forward to hearing from you and taking the appropriate steps to better cater to his taste and preferences. Thank you.
It's a hard adjustment to come to a new place and not know anyone, but [name removed] came to see me when I first moved here and 2 other aides and that's the beginning of knowing people. I came to the dining room and enjoyed the residents, staff, and the food! In my five months of stay here, I would say the aides have been my favorite! And while I like everyone, I am especially impressed with their cheerfulness, their willingness to help and our day to day conversations. I would highly recommend The Ridge to anyone who is looking for an assisted living place!!!

My son took me from South Ogden to Daybreak and Salt Lake County and looked at all the senior living places that we could get to and compared several things. We were looking for the environment, the help from the employees, and the food. When we found the Ridge, it was new, and that was what first attracted us to it. When we were looking for a place to live, we found that the appearance (the neat clean appearance) was the best but after living for almost a year, I find that the staff and the care are even better. I also find that the food and the activities surpass the excellence of the design of the building.They make you feel as comfortable as possible and the activity program is more than enough to keep you busy. The Ridge is extremely friendly and competent. From the moment I was here, I felt like I was at home. Everybody seems to knows my first name and it's great. I am totally satisfied with the care and the atmosphere here. I would highly recommend it!
