    My parents have been living here for several months and are very happy. The staff is always friendly when I visit and my parents seem well taken care of. I have been impressed with the facilities from the beginning but it’s the staff that really shines. I understand it’s hard to keep staff, but it’s like that at almost any assisted living facility. My parents enjoy the happy hour and food and variety of activities. Ridgecrest really seems to be trying to make improvements and do the best for their residents. My family has made friends with staff I would recommend this place for anyone.

    My father came to Ridgecrest two weeks ago. Sharai, the sales director was amazing. Her professionalism in explaining the facility and what Ridgecrest had to offer was more than I could even imagine for my father 94 year old father. Within the two week of my father being at Ridgecrest I feel he regained his confidence in himself. The staff member are also the success to this facility. They are willing to help my father with whatever he may need. Everyone there is happy, friendly and always smiling. That makes a huge difference. The place is clean, bright and very up lifting. Would highly recommend to any family if you are considering on transitioning a family member to senior living to consider Ridgecrest.

    We just relocated my mom to Ridgecrest Senior Living and Memory Care in April 2024, she has been there almost a month now. I worked with Sharai Morris tirelessly since August 2023 to make this happen and from TX! Sharai and the rest of the staff have been outstanding, and my mom loves her bright apartment, her daily exercise classes and that she could bring her cat! All the staff are so pleasant, and you can see how much they care about the residents. I feel like this change will hopefully stimulate my mom more and help slow the pace of her Alzheimer's. 5 stars for sure!
