Ridgecrest
This is a great option for those with limited finances. The staff is friendly and helpful. My dad likes the fact that in lieu of breakfast, he’s not a morning person, they offer him two lunches. There is an abundance of activities in the facility, and opportunities to get out for entertainment such as movies and concerts. One downside is the Director wears several hats, and is sometimes difficult to reach. And the shuttle vans aren’t always timely when having to go to doctor appointments. Otherwise we, and my dad, are pleased with the facilities.

Great place for your loved one
The staff really know their residents, and are quick to communicate with family when necessary. As far as the activities go-- I think they might consider scheduling some shopping trips or events out of the facility for the residents. I would recommend Ridgecrest Retirement community to friends and family.

Review for Ridgecrest Retirement & Healthcare Community
We picked this community, because of the location and value for cost. They were more proactive to gain my confidence than the others I evaluated. They took very good care of my dad, kept him happy and well fed, and kept me informed at every point along the journey. It is hard to care for a parent from a long distance. The staff understood that, and kept me in the loop at every step.

Our experience so far
My loved one is currently a resident at Ridgecrest Retirement and Healthcare Community. The staff at this facility are lovely once you're in. They were somewhat overwhelmed when we started out. Communication with the family is good.

Not the right fit
The price is really good which was the main reason it attracted us, they have assisted living and skilled nursing the issue is assisted living did not have the level of care we needed going forward. They were also very unorganized. One of our main issues was that they do not adhere to any dietary restrictions or have special menus. There were some really good aspects as well. I think it would be a great place for someone who does not need as much care. But for someone who needs a lot of care or a specific diet, it is probably not the best fit.

Nice and affordable
Ridgecrest Retirement has very nice sized apartments for the price. It is an older community but it is very well maintained and clean. Very elegant atmosphere, almost like an old hotel. We would recommend the community to others.

I would recommend
We chose Ridgecrest because I have worked with their marketing person before. It is an older facility but it is very nice, the price was also right for us. She gets excellent care here, she has been in many facilities and this is the best care that she has gotten by far. The room sizes here are very large and spacious. The food could use improvement, they do not seem to have a lot of variety and she has the same things over and over. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

Very nice place!
We toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. I was very impressed by Ridgecrest Retirement! All of the people we met were so nice and so accommodating! The facility itself is beautiful and clean, and it is located very conveniently to my parents' doctor. I would definitely recommend them as being worth a look!

Sales Person Never Called Back
They didn't really have memory care. Their building wasn't secured. It was on the lake but I didn't care for their sales person. She never would call me back and she kept my mother's medical records - I never got them back. She never called to tell me that they really couldn't accommodate her needs so I gave up on them.

Kind of Dark
When my father went there it was almost a brand new place but he said it was too dark. I think they were trying to make it look homey and things with the dim lights but my dad just did not like that at all!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Texas regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Texas regulations for Assisted Living.
