Apple Ridge Community Testimonials

This facility is very accessible. Located on South Quebec Way, visitors have no problems getting in and out and finding parking. It’s also close to restaurants and other amenities.

It’s really pretty on the outside—very modern, with a picket fence and clean look that also extends to the inside. There are outside tables with canopy covers over picnic tables, where people tend to congregate.

The entire facility, both inside and out, is very clean, and the food is good to great.

Both one-bedroom and two bedroom units are available; all the rooms are spacious, and residents can provide their own furnishings.

There is capacity for 60 residents. The nursing staff does the assessments—and the ratio is three residents per one caregiver; there are two nurses per 24-hour shift. Doctors visit residents a couple times a week, based on need. Memory care is also available.

The staff learns residents’ names quickly and makes them feel at home, providing a welcoming and caring feeling.

The facility provides fitting activities to engage residents, and also has a bus to transport them to appointments and offsite outings.

The cost, depending on type of housing and care needed, ranges from $2,800 to $4,300 monthly, which includes three meals daily.

Apple Ridge may be the best fit for those who are fairly independent, but cannot live alone.
