Emory Ridge

We moved our 92 yr. old Mom to Emory Ridge because the care she was receiving at an Assisted Living/Memory Care facility had declined significantly and the director was not interested in making any changes. We knew it would be a good place for our mom after Briscoe gave us a tour and described how the company was founded and their values. Moving our Mom to Emory Ridge was the best decision we could have made because all the activities, the facility, the food, and the care was focus on memory care-only residents rather than memory care being a "second fiddle" to assisted living residents (and grouped with assisted living residents for activities). The facility has amenities specific for memory care residents. All the staff from the director to the director of nursing and the care givers truly cared about the residents. The director, who is an experienced RN, was often seen in scrubs working on the floor. Another big difference was that the director is an RN who has worked with the elderly and knows what they need rather than someone who only knows the business end of managing a facility. Our mother "blossomed" under their care. We no longer had to visit every day to check up on the care she was getting. The food was of high quality. My mother loved listening to the guest musicians and participating the in birthday parties for residents. We know that she got the best care possible at Emory Ridge.

This place is amazing! My mom has been there for almost a year and has made huge milestones since she moved in. She was unable to walk or stand alone and was in a wheelchair. She can now stand and walk without a walker. She never came out of her room before and now she comes out and socializes all day. The nurses treat her like family. My mom smiles all the time and is extremely happy since she moved in. This is her favorite nurse and I love how much she loves her! You can see the love in this picture and I couldn’t love it more!! Thank you Emory Ridge for hiring truly caring and compassionate employees!

Seeing pictures and videos on social media of elderly dementia patients exploited and laughed at, is extremely worrisome. Being a “content creator” is obviously more important to this young lady than taking care of these patients. I have colored their faces to protect what little privacy they have left.
