Overall experience

The team is friendly, responsive, and resourceful and really helped guide my family through a very difficult process. The facility is clean and well managed and they offer a lot of programs and activities for the residents. The property is well maintained with outdoor patios and windows throughout for natural lighting. I can't really comment on the food because my mother is picky regardless. She does like the snacks and ice cream. We were offered a double suite so she has plenty of room and storage. They also offered a sign up bonus, which was helpful getting set up. The cost and the value are very much in line.

Friendly staff

The facility and staff are 5 stars. My sister is getting involved in the activities and says the food and care are good. I would recommend them to others who are searching for a place for their loved one if they can afford the up front fee.

The Ridge is a Great Place.

Beautiful environment and building. Building is clean and well maintained. Studios and apartment are roomy and comfortable. Cafeteria food is tasty and has a great variety. Staffing though is not always enough for quick response the resident needs.

Pros and cons

We chose Ridge at Stratford because of the price and friendliness of the staff. They have several times been out of certain standard food. They seem to only have bingo once a week for activities.

My family's experience.

I like the nurses and nursing staff. They are all very caring and polite. I don't like the afternoons and evenings. The staff are very busy doing meds and getting patients changed and in bed. They have all the patients sit and wait in the dining area for quite a long time. They get tired and that is when the ones with dementia/Alzheimers start with "Sundowners". One time I was there in the dining room with my loved one and Staff was busy and one lady tried to walk across the room and she fell, but thankfully she was close to the couch and cought it. But she couldn't get up. I tried to help her, but couldn't. Then a staff member came in and got her onto the couch. My mom sits in the chairs for long periods of time and her ankles swell where she can't even get her shoes on. I got her some supportive stallings. The mornings are nice. They have breakfast and do some activities. But, they need more activities after lunch.

Could Use Some Improvements

The biggest thing I wish I knew before hand is if you work for a living they make it hard to visit after 5 PM. At that time they lick the place up and you have to call a number to have someone come open the door which could take some time for them to do that. They told me when we were took the tour that they were in the process of setting it up for either a card or a pin but there has been no progress of either of those.

Do not move family here

The staff here are rude and never bother to say hi . Staff turnover is really high and that frustrates me because I feel like there is something wrong internally. The management seems like it’s not doing well. I can never get a really answer from anyone about anything. They have not had a transportation for over 5 months now and expect out of pocket pay even though when you sign your rental agreement it is stated that there is transportation available.

Understaffed

Understaffed. If your relative can get around on their own it could be OK. They could use a staff member to check in on residents to make sure housekeeping is being done and check in on the resident's general well-being. Better food. e. Visiting hours were too short. It is hard to make it there by the time they locked their doors.

It seemed to be the best fit for my mother-in-law. It is a smaller community compared to some of the others we looked at. She said it felt more like home.

Staff feels like family and is very involved

Staff is very caring very accommodating for special needs and always available to help. They're also very encouraging the resident I feel it could be more nutrition based foods, like more fresh veggies and fruit.

Nice clean facility, staff very caring, professional and friendly. Food ok. We chose the Ridge because it felt very homey and comfortable. One place we looked at, we really liked the staff, but it was very sterile and stark.

Terrible place

I do not recommend this facility. Do not believe the website...all the pictures are staged. The memory care unit is dirty and the residents are ignored. I know this from personal experience. My mom died from things that happened in this facility. Don't trust these people, do not recommend.

Ask Questions

The cost is somewhat less than other places. Ask as many questions as you can. Tenants aren't allowed to wear open towed shoes so she had to stay in her room until I bought them and brought them over. At times, it has been difficult for my MIL to get her meds in the night. That's about it. No where is perfect.

My dad loves Ridge at The Stratford. He is very involved in the daily work outs and plays Poker a couple of times a month. He has his hair and nails cut once a month, on-site. He enjoys Taco Tuesdays and says they are delicious. They have hearty, yummy meals and desserts daily. Such great care is given by the Ridge community. My dad has an outdoor area where he sits in the sun and reads, birds chirping. This community is friendly, truly loving and safe. Thank you to the entire team at the Ridge, I'm SO grateful!

a nice community with great activities, friendly and caring staff

Everyone is very friendly and know the residents names. They have a ton of activities and that's great for my mom, because she is very social. They have various shows from outside people, bingo, raffles, special theme days and birthday parties. the only thing that is a slight problem, is they are understaffed, do sometimes it takes them a while to respond.

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:

  • Know Arizona’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection 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 communities you’re considering. Learn more about Arizona’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
