Emory Ridge review

For the most part staff has been great, like most places that care for people they are understaffed. It's not their fault and they do their best. The place is clean, no complaints about the food from my brother and they have plenty of activities and take trips at least two or three times a month.

I do not think I was prepared for the level of patient need I saw at the facility. I was aware of it being a memory care facility, but the level of patients was well below my expectations. I do believe that this was a misconception on my part and not reflective of the care anyone was receiving. My expectation was of more interaction between staff and residents and between individual residents. What I saw was staff effort and virtually no response from residents. I was not prepared for that. My belief is that my sister is not yet at that level and would not benefit by being in that environment at this time. She is very social and enjoys interpersonal relationships with other residents and, in fact, has benefited greatly from her relationships at her current facility. I do anticipate that, at some point in the future, she may well need that level of care, but not need it at this time.

Emory Ridge is a very nice and presents a resident friendly environment. The facilities were clean and well-maintained. The apartments are roomy and spacious. Many activities are available for the residents. I was provided a tour of the entire facility. Emory Ridge is a perfect fit and one I am considering for my Mom.

Disappointed

Our family had a very disappointing experience with this facility. During my father’s stay, I found him more than once lying in bed in urine around midday, which raised serious concerns about the quality of care. When behavioral issues arose, we were told the facility did not specialize in dementia medications and needed to be referred out. The food was poor, personal belongings were lost, and communication became increasingly difficult after admission. Although activities were advertised, I never observed any taking place. I did have positive interactions with the Director of Nursing, who was kind and professional. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend this facility.

Safe and secure

The staff are professional and caring. The only issues we've had have been with the losing of glasses and not always being in his own clothes. (I know these things are to be expected, but they are the only reasons for not giving a 5.0).

There is always room for improvement, but we were happy with the care. My sister passed away 13 months ago I would visit her about twice a a week Every time I went there she was always out in the common area with other people and the staff. She always had clean clothes They tried to involve her but the Alzheimer's had taken its toll on her I was grateful to know she was safe fed and nice place to sleep not much else they could do .

I love that the staff loved my parents

I liked the fact that the staff seemed to truly care about my parents. That caring was demonstrated in the way they interacted with my wife and me, the detail with which they could recall their experiences with my parents throughout the day, and the gentle manner they used when providing direct care for my parents.

Wish we had found this place first!

We weren't there long, but it was by far the best place for dad. Wish we'd found them sooner. hey have a new director now and, when the night nurse called in sick, the director went home, put on scrubs and came back for the night shift because she knew my dad was critical and would need a nurse to administer meds through the night. This wasn't the[ name removed], it was the executive director! You don't find people with that work ethic and sense of empathy in most places these days.

Emory Ridge

The administrative staff were wonderful. There was quite a bit of turnover with the CNA's but was resolved by the end of her time there. There was also a huge problem with laundry services. I was told this was normal for a memory care facility but I was extremely disappointed in how her clothing and linens were laundered and wadded up and put away in the chest drawers. Her clothes were in such bad shape that when she passed, we left them there instead of donating them elsewhere. The protective cover purchased for the new and expensive mattress was removed to be laundered but never returned to her bed. The mattress was quickly stained and ruined. Overall, my Mother in law hated every day there and begged to come home (I know this is normal). She intentionally hurt herself in order to be sent to the hospital to get out of the facility. After a hip fracture, she continued to fall out of bed (at least one time intentionally in the view of PT). My MIL had a mental illness, was manipulative and had dementia- all this made it very difficult to determine what if anything she told us was truthful. All this to say, we would definitely refer friends and family to Emory Care if they needed this type of facility.

Overall a good experience

Mom loved the food! The facility itself is very nice as are the resident's rooms. Better communication between the administrative staff, nursing, house keeping, etc. of any changes requested by the family. Such as requesting that they start doing the residents laundry but not following up to be sure the appropriate people are informed and fulfilling the request.

Dirty sheets and zero activities

My mother in law has been here for 2.5 years and it was wonderful until a few months ago. The new management has let the place go and the residents are paying for it. My mother in law's sheets were bloody from a wound that came from a fall. A fall can happen anywhere, but the same sheets were still on the bed five days later. I brought this to the attention of the wellness director who said it would be taken care of right away. I went back the next day and the same sheets were still on the bed. After visiting for a couple of weeks at different times of the day, I realized that there were no activities at all. I was then told that there wasn't an activities director. Those poor people are just left alone. Needless to say, we put in our notice and are moving her next week. It's a shame how this place is being run. I wish I could attach pictures to this review.

The staff is very attentive to the residents and treats them like family. They all pitch in and help out. The staff cares about all of their residents. The single room size is a nice size and very adequate, there's a large closet and a dresser large enough for all their clothes.

Genuine Care

The staff are very friendly and they honestly care about the residents. They communicate and are reachable. When my father in law had to go to the hospital Briscoe took the time to visit him. The staff are honestly amazing! The facility is very nice when compared to what is around and available. It is well taken care of. I love the ability that the residents have to go outside.

Nice staff. Well-trained and professional.

The team at Emory Ridge helped my dad settle in quickly. They provide a stable, structured environment that is well-suited to his needs. It's easy for my mom to visit him, which she appreciates very much.
