Ridgecrest of McCandless has been a wonderful experience for my family. My father needed a place after having some health challenges. He needed a place that would be able to safely care for him around the clock. A place that has a community of people. Finally, a place that would help him continue to recover. It has exceeded those expectations to date. He is happy and thriving. He is returning to levels of activity that he enjoyed previously. Ridgecrest of McCandless has become a place that he calls home.

Ridgecrest was exactly right for my Mom. She was able to live independently as if in an apartment building but still have support when she needed it. As her condition progressed, she was able to get more help without having to relocate. The staff is very caring, respectful, and attentive. The head nurses are experienced and energetic and really connect with my Mom to encourage her to follow her care plan. As a relative, I felt at ease knowing my Mom could enjoy her apartment and still be safe.
After researching several AL facilities, my parents made a decision to move to Ridgecrest 3 months ago and we could not be happier with our choice. From the beginning, the transition has been great. The sales team worked with us every step of the way from the application process through the actual move in. The maintenance staff was available and helpful on move-in day and the days after as my parents got situated. The service and quality of meals offered by the dietary team is great. My parents have been treated with much respect by everyone involved in resident care. The nursing team has demonstrated genuine concern for my parents and are excellent with communication. The management team at Ridgecrest is responsive and genuinely concerned with the quality of the resident’s experience. The overall environment of the building is positive and upbeat. I look forward to my visits. I would definitely recommend Ridgecrest.
My mom and sister live at Ridgecrest Senior Living of McCandless. They have been there for about a year and a half and they require a lot of care and services. The care is better than anywhere else hands down. They are treated like family members by the staff/caregivers. It’s really amazing considering how hard it is to get any staff right now in this business. Our positive experience really started on day one with our interview when Melissa met with us. We were so impressed and it carries through to all the staff—nurses, aides, even dining room staff. They are open to family feedback and work with us to solve challenges. They are truly our saviors. If not for Ridgecrest, my sister would be in a nursing home. Thank you to all!!
My 94 year old mother was recently discharged from a local hospital to Ridgecrest senior living. Without a doubt the best move we could have made for my mother. My wife and I had toured several facilities and found Ridgecrest to be the best option. Our visit/tour was with Sharai Morris who was the absolute best. She took time to know and understand the situation with my mother, and the need to get her into an assisted living facility as she could no longer return to the independent living facility she had been living in . We got a thorough tour of Ridgecrest, information on all their accommodations and activities, and viewed apartment types that would be best for mom. Most notable was her assistance/interfacing with the social workers at the hospital who wanted to discharge mom to Ridgecrest two days earlier whether or not her room was ready or staff available to manage her transfer to the facility. Fortunately given the, shall we say, guidance Sharai was able to provide the hospital social worker, mother's transfer was pushed from a Saturday to Monday morning. All in all everyone we have crossed paths with at Ridgecrest has been nothing short of awesome to work with. Even mother, who was not pleased with the change on the Monday she moved in, was attending meal times and playing bingo the next day. Many thanks to Sharai Morris and everyone at Ridgecrest.
