So glad we chose Cahaba Ridge
After much research we chose Cahaba Ridge six years ago as the best senior community for my in-laws as they moved from out of state to be near us. We are so glad we did. This is truly an aging-in-place facility, as it is all independent living, so no mandates to move to another level of care — you can bring in help as needed. But there is a lot of support built in, with onsite pt, a little store, salon, incredible food 24 hours a day and innovative activities, all within a very attractive environment. But the best part is the people who work here. They truly act as if it is their pleasure to serve their residents and treat them as if they are at an actual resort. A year ago, when we realized my mother-in-law might need more advanced care, we explored other nearby options. We found nothing else could compare with what she had, and so committed to bringing in additional caregivers as long as possible. We are so grateful for that option — and that she can continue to enjoy Cahaba Ridge.

Happy Mom gets best of everything at Cahaba Ridge.
My mom moved in at Cahaba Ridge and she loves it. She's 93, and although they aren't an assisted living facility, they provide group activities and many conveniences for their residents. The food is incredible always. My family couldn't be more pleased with the quality of life she is having at Cahaba Ridge. Not one complaint from her or our family.

We had an excellent tour. [Removed] was very cordial and informative. Answered all of our questions. We used some of those on the Sheet you emailed us. We would love to live there, but not sure they would "hold" the apartment until we can sell this house. Can't make 2 house notes a month. So
we may still be looking. Thanks for your help.

We could not ask for anything more
The staff have been fabulous. This is a brand new nice community. The offer some activities and they are adding more each day. The food is healthy and they offer a variety of choices. They have a salad bar at lunch and dinner. The rooms are bigger and brighter than at other communities we looked at. I would recommend this community.

We Liked It So Much
When I came to have a tour I liked it very much and now my sibling-in-laws are doing fine being apart of the community. The staff are very nice. They tell me the meals are real good and everybody has been real nice to them. They are happy with their space in the apartment, there is much more space. I would recommend the community to others.

Very very nice facility, although construction was still in progress. All of the extra amenities you could imagine. Had a good charter program for new residents buying in . They also had a wonderful travel program and freedom dining. [Removed] and [Removed] provided informative information and was very nice.

A Place for Mom has scored Cahaba Ridge Retirement Community 8.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
