Senior Living at Forest Ridge offers assisted-living designed for older adults who want daily support without giving up their independence. In addition to routine assistance with bathing, dressing, mobility, and medication management, the community is equipped to provide focused medical oversight. Short-term respite stays are available for individuals recovering from an illness or for family caregivers who need a break. Residents managing diabetes receive monitoring of blood glucose levels, meal planning that matches physician orders, and staff oversight of insulin administration. On-site speech therapy services help residents maintain or regain communication and swallowing abilities, limiting the need for outside appointments.
Beyond clinical services, care staff are on duty around the clock to respond to calls, adjust care plans, and coordinate with outside physicians. Regular wellness checks, fall-prevention programs, and scheduled transportation to medical appointments support ongoing health management. Caregivers assist with housekeeping and laundry to reduce physical strain on residents, and an emergency response system is in place in each apartment to ensure help is available within minutes.
Apartments include a range of features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, individual climate control, and options for pet companionship. Select units overlook the butterfly garden, while others are closer to the central fireplace or piano area for residents who enjoy music. Because floor plans vary, not every apartment contains every feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to review individual layouts during a tour. Outdoor areas and convenient parking allow residents and visitors to move in and out of the building with minimal barriers.
Meals are prepared by a professional chef who offers restaurant-style service three times a day, along with an all-day dining menu for flexible scheduling. Standard menus always include vegetarian, gluten-free, low-sodium, no-sugar, and organic selections, and kitchen staff can honor most physician-ordered diet modifications. International dishes appear regularly, and guests are welcome to join residents for meals. Hydration and snack stations stay stocked to support diabetes management and general nutrition goals.
Recreational options include an activity center, a library and computer lounge, and raised garden beds for residents who want hands-on outdoor time. Scheduled events range from yoga and chair yoga to live music, dances, karaoke, and birthday parties. Clubs, reminiscence and sensory-based programs, and intergenerational visits encourage social engagement, while fitness classes and a swimming pool support physical health. Happy hour, social outings, and specialized memory activities round out a calendar designed to keep residents mentally and physically active.
