When I showed up at the house, Carmen demanded that I use the "other" door. After being in the house, there was no function for using one door or the other. It was simply a matter of control. The dormitories were very small. Carmen told me that SHE likes the residents to spend most of their day in the common living room. I felt very uncomfortable. I felt like the owner was very controlling. I didn't pay too much attention to other details - I just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Pine Ridge Family Type Home for Adults was a house with four women sitting around watching TV. Afternoon activities and things like that don't usually happen. The staff said that they don't do them because the women that are there don't want to, which would mean that if my mother went there, she wouldn't participate in any of them either. They don't do anything outside the home. There was only one person there, and that was the lady I spoke to. I didn't get much other than to sit and talk with her for a couple of minutes. The facility seemed well taken care of. It's a house, so it has a dining room and a kitchen.

Pine Ridge Adult Care is an excellent place. I would recommend it to anyone. The staff is perfect. They take great care of my mom, they are very attentive to everything that she needs, and they're with her 24 hours a day 7 days a week. They live together like a family, and it's perfect, like she lives in a home. They share meals together. There are only 5 other people, so it's a perfect place for her. Whenever I go visit her, she always tells me how happy she is there. When I take her out, they welcome her when she comes back, and they give her a big hug. She's always happy to go back. She helps make dinner, and it's a beautiful thing. Mom's room is beautifully maintained. She has brand new furniture and a freshly painted room, with all the amenities in there that she needed. Any request I have, they take care of it immediately. They call me every other day to check in with me to let me know how my mom is doing. Their food is home-made, and it is always very good.

Pine Ridge is very small, and I didn’t like it. The dining area is nice, but I don’t think they have many activities at all. I met the owner, and she was very knowledgeable and nice.
