Fox Ridge Bryant

Bonnita

My mom has been at Fox Ridge Bryant for 3 years. The facility is nice. The food that I've tasted has been good, and all of her meals have looked very nice and wonderful, and she hasn't complained about any of that. They do group activities. They also do outings. Transportation can be a little iffy. They have their own van and bus that takes them, but sometimes it's hit or miss if the transportation guy is available or not. We've had issues with communication about doctor's appointments. The communication from staff is probably my biggest problem. They don't communicate very well with us. They never brought us in for a family meeting to talk about this, to see if we could help with anything that was going on and things like that. The nurse practitioner would change her medication without telling anyone. She does have some nurses and CNAs who do have her call us. So, there are some that do and then there are others that don't. I've seen some of the people that work there are just lazy. They don't want to deal with her or deal with certain patients. They don't always clean the room. We've come in and it's been a mess. These things didn't happen until they changed management, and the head of nursing, and all of those things have changed. That's when we started seeing all of this happen when they made those changes. A lot of the people that work there are very nice and very courteous. There seems to be a problem with the upper level of staff who don't want to communicate. Their maintenance staff is very nice and very friendly. Their cooks and kitchen staff are nice. The receptionists are very nice. All the residents there are very nice. No one seems like they're not happy there. They do activities. They're always hanging out in the lobby when we come in. They are playing games or talking and they say hi. They can have pets, too.

We have chosen Fox Ridge Bryant. The level of services and the quality of staffing are the reasons why we chose them for my parents. We have friends who are there. We also talked about some of the activities, but we didn't observe them during our visit. The sizes of the rooms seem to be comparable to other facilities that we visited. They are undergoing some renovations, and so that was exciting to see what that's going to be. The common spaces were also equally comparable. They were comfortable, and the outdoor spaces were very nice, so it was good. We didn't get to see all of it because they were under construction to no fault of their own. They had a water pipe that had burst, so a section of their building was blocked off. We didn't get to see everything, but the owner seemed to be attentive to the facilities and was already adding some additional furniture and things. While we were there, we saw that happening.

I have toured the Fox Ridge Bryant assisted living and their rooms were smaller but it's a nice facility. The administrator who did the tour was nice. They had a gym, they offered physical therapy, and they had a salon. It was clean too and the location is close to where I live. The restaurants were probably another 5 miles down the road but they just put a new hospital down there.

My sister moved into Fox Ridge Bryant. Right now, they keep evaluating her and keep watching her. If she progresses more in her dementia or whatever, then we'll see about getting her into the memory care part, but right now she's doing good. She's happy there, they've got good care, a good, clean facility. It's new and it's secure. None of the residents could just walk out the door. If they see any of the patients or residents going toward the door, they head them off where they can't get out and get in trouble. The staff is good, they're on top of everything and they're always walking the halls checking on people, so they're well cared for in there, they're looked after. They've got all kinds of activities. On Tuesday if they want to go shopping, they load them up, take them to the local stores around Wal-Mart just right down the street. It's well maintained and it's clean, and it's nice. They've got a hair salon and a TV room. She's getting her money's worth.

My husband doesn't really have enough care at Fox Ridge Estates – Bryant because they have aides that stop in once in a while and check on him. There's one who he really liked and got him what he wanted, but the rest of them probably couldn’t care less and I'm not too happy about it. For someone who's not like my husband it's probably okay, but then my husband can't see and he has hearing aids. The staff needs a little bit more supervision. My husband has been there a month before he was moved. He's in assisted living 2 where he's locked in. His room is very nice and large with a nice bathroom. Their food was delicious and he ate everything off his plate. The dining area was large and they have people bring the food out to you. They have a little exercise class and church service on Sunday afternoon. They have sing-along and Bingo. It's a nice looking place and one of the lower priced places I found.

My father lives at Fox Ridge and it is the best place for him, his quality of life, and for my peace of mind. While it has to be difficult to attend to so many residents... the staff, chefs, CNAs (especially), and the nurses give all of their attention to make sure that the residents get the BEST care possible. There is recreation, fine dining, exercise options, a movie theater and game room, and transportation to doctors appointments. For families who cant provide the attention needed to take care of their elderly loved one, assisted living is a GREAT option to being in a nursing home or living alone. The rooms are big enough for a bed and entertainment space without feeling confined to one corner; the staff is there for the residents at the push of a call button, and the patients are treated with respect! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT for my father!!!
