Choosing a memory care facility for my dad was one of the hardest decisions of my life. I was…read moreterrified of him becoming just "part of a business plan" and nervous about giving up control. I knew I needed to move from being a caretaker back to being his daughter, but I constantly wondered: Could I find a place that would care for him like I would? The answer is a resounding YES at The Ridge in Westlake. It is a true hidden gem. After researching every option and watching this facility being built, I was initially hesitant about choosing a newer place. That changed the moment I met the "heart" of the operation. Ivette (Memory Care Director): Ivette is incredible. Her expertise and accessibility are unmatched. She truly listens, keeps me posted, and I genuinely feel she keeps a personal eye on my dad. She is a kind soul who ensures his quality of life is excellent. Ian (Health Services Director): A true med-tech extraordinaire. Juggling medications is a massive task, and Ian is a pro who stays on top of every detail behind the scenes. Tonya (Activity Coordinator): I call her the "Cruise Director." She has the utmost patience and creativity, engaging residents at all different levels with physical activity and brain games. Her kindness radiates, and the weekly excursions are a wonderful touch. The Care Staff: I wish I could name them all in this post. This is a hard job, and they are amazing. I feel so lucky knowing they love my dad and made it a priority to get to know him. It didn't take long for them to figure out he loves to sleep in, needs his paper in the morning, and is always down for anything with chocolate! I pop in all the time and can always count on them. If you are reading this, you're likely navigating a difficult chapter that nobody prepares you for. You will doubt yourself, and the transition is hard. But the peace of mind here is real. The best testament I can give is a text my dad sent me the other night: "They are making me hot chocolate with marshmallows. I love this place! " The Ridge is secure, safe, and fun. When I leave my dad, I don't worry--and that is worth every penny. Yes, they are still working some things out as a newer facility, but don't let that push you away. Everyone has to start somewhere, and this is an opportunity you shouldn't overlook. Come visit--my dad would be the first to tell you how happy he is to call this place home.

Moving a loved one into assisted living and hospice care is an emotional and difficult decision. From the moment Mom arrived, the caregivers; Bing, George and Johneil. worked hard to make her feel comfortable and welcomed. They took the time to get to know her, encouraged her to participate with the other residents, and cared for her with dignity during her final days. As with any end-of-life journey, there were moments where family had questions and concerns, and Brio's staff took the time to listen, communicate with us, and work through those concerns together. We especially appreciated their willingness to partner with our family and respect our wishes while always keeping Mom's comfort and safety at the center of her care. After Mom's passing, Johneil was kind, responsive, and fair in helping us navigate the administrative details, including the final account reconciliation. That meant a great deal to our family during an already difficult time. Thank you to everyone at Brio Manor for caring for our mother with kindness, dignity, and compassion. We will always be grateful that she spent her final days surrounded by people who genuinely cared for her.-- The Family of Barbara Boatner

OakView skilled nursing facility is a top-notch location for acute rehab. From the moment you drive…read moreup to the facility, walk into the building and go to your assigned room, you can see the building is very well taken care of and nicely decorated. This is important as it shows their attention to detail. In the room, there is a lovely armoire for every patient to use for their belongings along with a nightstand, hospital bed and tray. The armoire is much nicer and larger than the usual small closet you find in most facilities. The true star of the facility are the employees. The CNA's are always quick to respond and provide you with the service you need. The LVN's who dispense the medication are equally quick to help and all of them have kind words along with words of encouragement for each patient. Unfortunately, I have been in numerous facilities and non of them compare. OakView is fine tuned and runs very smoothly. Administrative staff checks on the patients frequently to make sure all needs are met. Treatment plans are prepared by medical staff. And the social worker is very kind and extremely helpful in taking care of the patient while on the premises but also after they leave OakView. She even called me two days after my release from OakView to check on me and to see if there was any additional needs I had. I was extremely impressed by this as I had never had this happen before. Never was there a social worker that did a third of the work this woman did let alone follow through and show she cared every step of the way. OakView feels like a resort with medical assistance, not a skilled nursing facility. The food is excellent and if it's not to your liking, the chef is willing to prepare something that meets your desires. No other facility I know of does that. If and when I need to be in a skilled nursing facility again, I hope I am blessed to be able to find a room at OakView. I highly recommend it. P.S. They also have an assisted living facility.

The staff was is knowledgable and treated her with genuine respect and tenderness, and they were consistently thoughtful with our family as well. The facility was clean, well-kept, and organized, and communication with us was steady and reliable. I've even told my husband that this is exactly the kind of place I'd hope for myself one day. During my visits with my grandma, I saw how happy and well-cared-for the other residents were--the daily meals, activities, and interactions all felt warm, structured, and intentional. It was the kind of environment that gives you real peace of mind. The level of care they provide is exceptional and they were excellent care partners with my parents.

Now it is catered to each room They also hosted a private birthday lunch in one of their small dining rooms for our family and my mother-in-law.

My five stars go to Sunrise's executive director, Edith Kennedy, and the nursing and admin staff…read more They are exceptional, and I don't use that word a lot. Edith is particularly outstanding because she truly cares and is on her game with details, always wanting feedback (good or bad) to make your loved one's experience the best it can be. Now, with assisted living facilities this can sometimes be like moving a mountain. But, she earnestly tries. She's got your back. However, despite this, we are actually moving my dad to another local facility shortly due to one of Sunrise's bad qualities, horrible in fact, and that is...pricing. Again, to be found at many assisted living facilities but costs at Sunrise are higher than most...and they price differently than most. For example, when you first talk to them they speak of the rent as a flat rate. But it's not. Sunrise charges you a day rate per month. So your cost varies per month based on days of the month. The rent is better in February, September, April, June and November. But the other seven months with 31 days...all higher. And surprise...there are more months with 31 days in a year so the house wins. It's a bad optic. Despite the costs, they serve generic soda vs. Coke and Pepsi brands. Small yes, but at these prices...bad optic. They only have transportation offered 2 days a week while most other places provide 7 days. Again, for what they charge...bad optic. And one other thing. No matter what month you move in, your rent will be increased come January by 5-10%. The contract makes it sound like it's a random event, but it happens every year like clockwork and you will be notified 60 days in advance. And remember, you have your highest leverage to negotiate (the move-in fee, etc.) before you sign the contract. So with Sunrise, the people are terrific. The prices are not. And in the end, it's a shame that a business that exists to provide care often comes across as caring more about the money.
