I moved into East Ridge Residence. So far, I've had a good experience with them. The basic rent includes utilities and one meal a day, but you can pay another $150 a month and get two meals a day. The rent is lower than in other places that I checked out. You're allowed a pet up to 25 pounds. They have activities, like bingo. It's a nice place and I like it. The food is excellent. It's like a sit-down restaurant. You sit down there, they come out, and they take your order. They have options that you can choose, like a sandwich or any one of the meals.

We went to look at East Ridge Residence. Everything was very nice, clean, organized, and smelled nice. The staff was excellent. She was explaining everything and taking her time. She showed me several different apartments and options and took the time to sit down and answer all my questions and go through everything. She did a great job. I met the activities director. She showed me the activity rooms and the different things that they do. The rooms were very nice, very clean, very efficient looking as far as the space. I was able to talk to several of the people that live there, and everyone there said they loved it. They all just seem so happy, so I like that about it.

I'm going to move to East Ridge Residence. It's very nice and friendly. It's a medium-sized place, but I like it for its convenience. It's right down the road from Cracker Barrel and Portofino, and it's on a dead-end street so there's not a lot of traffic down there. I think it's a good location. The staff was very friendly. The studio has a walk-in shower which I need, so that's a plus to me. I can't use it now, but it has an outdoor swimming pool, which I look forward to using next year. They have an activity director. She's got five or six activities every day that you can, take part in. They also go out to movies, go out to restaurants, and they go shopping, and they furnish you with a vehicle for that. And if you need to go to the doctor, you can give them a 24-hour notice and they'll take you to the doctor and bring you back. They have bingo, Bible studies, and other games. It was very clean and they'll clean my apartment once a week. They'll wash my bed linens once a week and they have a washer dryer just right down the hall from my room, where I can use it to do my laundry. You could have all three meals in the place for an additional charge. But if you need just one meal a day, like my room comes with a refrigerator, a microwave, and a hot plate. So I'll have breakfast and supper in my room, but I chose to have the noon meal in their dining area. The dining area was nice, clean, and has friendly staff. Their staff is very friendly, from the front desk to the dining room, to the maintenance crew. I met all of the housekeepers and they were all very nice.

We have decided on East Ridge Residence because the overall cost per month is a very good value and everything is included. Another thing I liked was they had a pool, and they do water aerobics. It was kind of appealing; but overall, the price was one of the better ones. They have been remodeling it and making it new. I was impressed with a lot of the things that they had. The entire building hasn't been completely remodeled, but it is something they're working towards. The executive director was really fantastic and wants to make it a very nice, high end, and affordable place for seniors. The room that my grandmother is going to stay was very nice and very clean. Even though the decor is still being kind of worked on, everything was nice, clean, and well-kept.

We went to East Ridge Retirement Home. It had an older feel to it, and it does not have as much of a home feeling as other places. I didn't get to meet that many staff that day, I had limited interaction with them, but the lady that showed us around was nice. Their rooms were spacious. They did provide lunch and it was tasty. They had a whole calendar of activities there. They had a workout space, an activity room, and a swimming pool out in the courtyard.

East Ridge Residence's inside was nice and there's a pool outside. The person who accommodated me was very good and nice. My son asked a lot of questions and she was able to answer him promptly. There was a beauty shop and a place for church services. The food we had there was very good.

The apartments at East Ridge Residence were very nice, clean, seemed very safe for an older person, and were a good size. They had bingo, movie nights, game nights, and go out to lunch once a month. On Fridays, they go to the grocery store. They had a therapy place on campus, a beauty shop, a computer room, a library, and a pool. The dining area was very clean, and I think it would make them feel like they were at home. They always had soup, salad bar which looked very fresh, and a good variety of food. They've had a good chef for eight years. I think they're doing a good job with everything.

I visited East Ridge for my mother, and it was a pleasant experience. I chose it because you can switch to assisted living if she needed it without moving. However, there weren't any studios available, only one-bedrooms. The apartment was very nice, renovated, brand new, and freshly painted. There were some residents sitting out in the lobby. I saw several rooms that were being renovated and a pool.

East Ridge Residence is a former motel that has been converted to senior residence living. I liked it a lot because the price was good, they had full-sized single-bedroom apartments, and provided everything. It appears to be very friendly with numerous amenities. The aesthetics bothered me, though, because it looked like a factory, but that’s the only thing. I am considering going there.

before I lived here, I rented a reg. apartment...but like that my housekeeing and meals are provided...I've lived here for over 3 years and like it

Our mother had lost her husband in 2005 and was living alone at the home they had shared. She was lonely and got out seldom. She finally had to quit driving and so she had to depend on some of her family members to take her everywhere she went. We did some research and found East Ridge Residence to be well suited to her needs. We put in She loves it there! She has all the independence she had before in her home plus she has made many friends at the residence. She plays bingo, cards, etc and socializes daily with her friends and with all the employees of the facility who treat her like family. She enjoys the many good foods they serve there and she doesn't have to cook at all. She goes to the onsite beauty parlor every week to get her hair fixed just as she did when she lived at her former home. They have parties for the residents that she enjoys and dinners on special occasions for her and her whole family. They have arranged transportation for the residents and doctors that come there in case of need. They have a swimming pool for the residents and their families to enjoy in the summer. I can't say enough good things about the facility. We are very pleased with this facility and it eases our minds about her safety and well being. We are so glad we placed her there and she is perfectly happy. We encourage all of older relatives to check out the facility for their future home.
