Nice place to consider for your love one’s, Environmental service team does great work and the kitchen manager and her staff are awesome. It’s a hand full of Med Tech”s & PCA”s who deserve awards for being so phenomenal. Being new to this City and not knowing anyone personally, I give Durham Ridge a 9 out of 10. If I had a complaint, I wouldn’t mention it because the good outweighs.

This place doesn’t deserve a star. The staff is not qualified to care for the clients, administration is lazy, there are so many excuses but no accountability and its a filthy facility.
