East Ridge at Cutler Bay

Gabriel

The staff at East Ridge at Cutler Bay was very nice. It was a little expensive for my grand aunt though. There weren't very many people working around there because of the COVID situation, but the people who attended to us were nice. She didn't like the room, but she liked the apartment with the kitchen and living room. She didn't like just the room because it was too small and if she wanted to go out into the middle of the apartments, which is like a little patio, she'd have to go through the room. My grand aunt didn't like the place. They can provide one meal a day, but for the rest, she'd have to make her own food. To me, the facility was OK.

My review is based upon residing at Eastridge foreseen years in independent living. Two key things impressed me in my initial evaluation --the 76 acres of impressive landscaping and being able to live independently in one of the 220 one story units. Physically I have lost 10 pounds and am in better physical shape than when I came. My social life is much improved - I am coordinating events I like - monthly vet luncheons, daily swims, monthly current event programs, weekly Bocce, frisbie throwing and dart throwing. With 350 independent residents it does not take long to find excellent friends. There is no better option for me at the age of 86 than Eastridge. Gary S.

My parents has moved into East Ridge at Cutler Bay. They are fabulous. They've gone in as independent living, but it's a step-up and if they have to go to full assisted living, they can do that. The staff is very caring, very nice, and take good care of them. The personnel are very friendly and very caring. The little villa that they're in is adorable, and it's something that they're enjoying.

East Ridge is excellent and expensive at more than $5,000 a month. It has a very friendly atmosphere with two or three floors, and they also have private residents for couples. The staff is friendly and very responsive. The amenities were very nice, and I think I saw transportation in the complex. However, they take neither Medicare nor Medicaid.

My mom is in the assisted living at East Ridge at Cutler Bay. They have bingo and parties for the elderly citizens every week. There is a garden outside where residents can sit and enjoy. There is an interaction center whereby they have the residents in a large room and they play board games and show them how to use computers. They offer three meals a day. The staff members are lovely, very attentive, and excellent. They come in and give her showers. The food is lovely too. The cleanliness is excellent.

East Ridge is very nice, professional, and clean. The rooms are large and well-maintained. The food was always good. I would highly recommend them. They were very kind and nice to my father-in-law.

I'm going to move into East Ridge at Cutler Bay. They have various activities, they have a bus that goes to the store, the pharmacy, the banks, and lots of buses going to various activities within the community. It could be anything from a comedy show, to the opera, and whatever cultural events we have. They have singing once a week, there's a lady who quilts, and I quilt. Your family can come down for a reunion at no extra cost, as far as there's space. All you have to do is reserve the room and the kitchen. There's a swimming pool, they have a dog park, and you can have pets. The staff members are very thorough, very down to earth, speak English, and are very nice. I've been there three times, I've had meals there twice, and they are excellent.

Eastridge is a beautiful facility. It is clean, well decorated, grounds are immaculate, picture perfect. But if you are looking for medical care, go someplace else. There is very little staff and the one that is there is clueless. The physical rehab is worthless. The staff that is there spends their time watching Nexflicks on their device or just sit around and it would probably take a 5 alarm fire to get them off their behinds. When a patient presses the call button, good luck with that. The resident doctor is a ghost and the nurses are way under staffed for the amount of money they charge. If you just need to find a place to stay and cook for you this is it, but any medical care, stay away.

East Ridge Retirement Village was clean and very friendly, knowledgeable, and able to answer my questions. The patients were also clean which is very important, and I didn't see anybody just hanging out in the hallway. They have special memory care activities, and when I was there, they were doing a big puzzle which was nice. Pricing is a little expensive.

I liked East Ridge Retirement Village the most. It was smaller. The staff is friendlier, and the people are more down to earth.

East Ridge Retirement Village is top of the line, the rooms are beautiful, and they’re brand new and spacious. The care is fantastic, and the atmosphere is like they’re in a top hotel. The staff is very good and very professional. They just need to improve on the number of staff.

East Ridge at Cutler Bay is very old. They are beginning to take care of patients with Alzheimer's. They have nice cottages for independent living, and the next step is for those who are incapacitated. It has a gate, it's beautiful, and it has trees. They offer a lot of activities. They have whatever you need like shopping, and the facilities to live an independent life.

If you are retired, healthy, and capable of independent living, this community is very good. However, if you require assisted living - be careful. The aides and nurses are understaffed and often cannot keep appointments or aid in "activities of daily living" on a timely basis.

My visit at East Ridge was excellent. It was a first class facility. Their rooms were excellent. Their staff were very helpful and cheerful. We consider going there myself one day. I would recommend this facility. It's expensive but it's of high quality.

we found the place to be very clean and grounds well taken care off the rooms were a bit small and we did notice a few things here and there that we did like the facility is not very close to a hospital and after we compared the detailed Medicare data for East Ridge Retirement Village with other senior care providers in Florida. When compare to the state averages for staffing, the number of registered nurse (RN) hours per resident per day is about average; Certified nursing assistant (CNA) hours per resident per day is about average; The number of licensed practical (LPN) or vocational nurse hours per resident per day is about average. The most recent health inspection was on 10/14/2010. When comparing the health condition of long stay residents to other nursing homes in Florida, it is less likely for residents to have their ability to move around their room get worse and to lose too much weight for high-risk residents to have pressure sores.

The East Ridge Retirement Village assisted living facility in Miami was one of the places we saw while looking in the region for my friend's mother. We were immediately taken by the lovely exterior and grounds, which looked more like a resort. The grounds were beautifully landscaped, with fountains, parkways and even exotic birds. The tree-lined walkways were easy to navigate. This exercise facility had ample rooms, including an outdoor pool so that it had a relaxing spa feel. They also have daily yoga and aerobics exercise classes and golf. The residents may also safely navigate the lovely grounds for exercise with adequate supervision. The living spaces were generous, with several different floor plans to choose from. There were lovely garden apartments near the pool area, plus larger units available. The dining room was quite nice, with plenty of space. The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus all had healthy food options for all kinds of diets. Healthy snacks are offered all day and into the evening, as well as whenever residents request them. The many planned activities feature everything from book readings and discussions to arts and crafts. The residents are taken to many interesting events in Miami -- which is known for its rich cultural diversity. It is easy for residents to be active in the community and provide support to local organizations to enrich their lives and the lives of others. This is a full service community with exceptional staff -- and we could see how any senior would really enjoy living in this extraordinary environment.
