Ridgecrest at Cranberry Woods

The place was fabulous. It was very warm and welcoming. The people were so wonderful, explaining everything, all the wonderful features that the facility has. We went down the hall and literally walked through the whole entire thing, seeing each of the rooms: the art room, the library, and the music room. We went upstairs to see the beauty shop and then across from that is the dining area. And then we looked at two different rooms. The models are set up gorgeous. I wish that they rented them furnished because that would have been perfect for what we need. But anyway, beautiful setup. I can't say enough good things about it. The exercise room was full of people. There was a class there. There were people in the swimming pool. I did see those two classes going on, and there's lots of walking trails there. I used to work in that area, so I know the area very well, and I actually used to go on those walking trails way before it was even built. What I like about it is that you have the month-to-month rental, because a lot of the other places charge a huge upfront amount. And if something happens the next day or days later or months later you don't get any of that money back. It just is all absorbed. So, I really like that.

It looked brand new. There were a lot of amenities. There were choices in different rooms. The food looked appetizing. There were activities and buses to take them places, which I also thought was important. The building was large. They had different food choices. You could do a snack bar as opposed to an actual sit-down meal. They had a pool.

My sister has moved in. It's a nice place. It's very new. I think the building is less than five years old, so everything is pretty new and some of the apartments haven't even been lived in yet. The people that work there are very nice. They're very conscientious and helpful. The hardest part with independent living is making sure that the person going there is motivated to get out of their room because they have a lot to do. You can sign up and their shuttle will take you shopping. They will also take you to doctor's appointments if they're within 10 miles of the community and there are a lot of them that are. They have a heated pool, so they have some swimming available. They have gym equipment. They have a library. They have a book club, music, a card club, and a billiards table. It's nice that they have plenty to do. The staff are friendly, helpful, and kind. I haven't eaten with my sister there yet, but she said it's really good. They have a restaurant and a bistro, and two of their meals a day, they can choose either to eat at the restaurant or the bistro. The restaurant has a bar in the afternoon if they so desire. People can come in there. They have happy hour around 4. For people who drive, they have parking areas. The other thing that they do is they will do sign-ups for group events like going to the casino or going to a theater or something of that nature. What they do is add it to the following month's rent. It's like a nice hotel. For what you get, it's a little spendy but I think it's worth it for the services.

I liked the facilities. They had a pool and a nice-sized gym. The dining room was very large. They had a private dining room if you needed one for family visits, which was very nice. The staff was very informative, very friendly, and spent a lot of time with us answering questions and giving us the tour. I liked the variety of amenities, the size of the theater, the pool, and the gymnasium. It seems to be very accommodating.

I visited here for myself. It was a very nice and clean facility. It's relatively new, and it's very well-appointed. They had different sizes for the rooms. They had a little kitchenette, a living room/sort of dining area, a bedroom, and a bath. And of course, it's all handicap-ready. This facility is only a couple of years old, so it must be ADA-compliant. The hallways were very wide. The doorways and everything in the place looked to me like they were designed with ADA compliance in mind. Pam, the representative that I talked to, was very nice, very helpful, and explained things very well. My issue is I don't know if I want apartment living because I'm used to living in a house. There was a courtyard, a small pool, and indoor and outdoor parking, which was very nice.
