Welcome to Ridgewood Senior Living

For over 15 years, Ridgewood Senior Living has proudly provided Bennington residents with a quality living experience. We believe in creating an environment where seniors can thrive, enjoying independence and support as they need it. Our long-standing reputation in the Bennington area is built on trust, compassion, and a deep understanding of the unique challenges and joys that come with aging. We strive to meet the needs of all our residents through independent living, assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite care.
