Respite care at Ridgewood Senior Living is designed as a short-term solution for seniors who have been recently discharged from a hospital visit or whose regular caregiver is temporarily unavailable. 

Our respite care program offers the same high-quality care and access to amenities as our long-term residents. Whether you stay with us for a few days or several weeks, you will enjoy personalized care, 24/7 support from our dedicated associates, and full access to our community’s meals, amenities, and activities.

Assisted living focuses on providing support with daily activities while promoting independence and a vibrant lifestyle. Residents in assisted living apartment homes receive personalized assistance with tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management and enjoy a variety of social and recreational activities. For those with mild cognitive impairment, our Snapshots program offers a way to remain in assisted living while receiving the mental support they need. 

Memory care,
on the other hand, is specialized care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, or other cognitive impairments. Our Montessori-inspired Portraits® memory care program, uses multi-sensory activities customized to each resident’s history and interests to stimulate and engage their minds while providing purposefulness within their community.

Our residents at Ridgewood Senior Living pay for the cost of senior living through various private payment sources, including savings, retirement funds, life insurance policies, veteran’s and veteran spouses’ benefits, and the sale of other assets.

We recognize that each family’s financial situation is unique and recommend discussing your options with a financial adviser. Our team at Ridgewood Senior Living is available to provide guidance and support as you explore the best ways to finance your senior living arrangements.

Absolutely! We are a pet-friendly community and encourage you to bring your furry friends with you. Pets provide companionship, emotional support, and joy, so we welcome them with open arms.
