Ocean Ridge Assisted Living

The dinner and lunch quality could be improved! However, based on the experience we have had we would recommend Ocean Ridge Assisted Living to other families who may need a place for their loved ones

Ocean Ridge Assisted Living has proven to be a life saver for me, the wife whose husband has dementia as well as a very difficult personality. I have a lot of health issues of my own, and realized I had reached my limit with being able to care for my husband AND myself in our home. I reached out to A Place for Mom, and they were kind and helpful. After touring Ocean Ridge I knew it was the best place for my husband to live with this progressive and relentless disease. Now I can take proper care of my own self as well as oversee the needs of my husband. Since we have no supportive family, I feel very grateful that I can trust the staff and feel sure he is safe . I have heard some say that he didn't need to be in assisted living YET, and my answer is that care like this is very hard to find, and it is the loving thing to place your loved one before it becomes an emergency situation. Quality of life, for everyone, is so important!

Having heard both positive and negative experiences from family & friends having to place their loved ones into Senior Living facilities, we were understandably concerned about finding the best possible facility for our mother. From the initial meeting with the ORAL staff and the facility tour, we were cautiously optimistic about this being a good fit for her. All concerns have been assuaged on our part; this past year has proven that the entire team is dedicated to providing the best possible care and experience for her. Our mother tells us often how much she enjoys the scheduled activities throughout the week. The variety meals she is served are not only nutritious and healthy, but also flavorful. The chef meets with residents periodically to identify opportunities to customize the menu to their liking. The building and grounds are very well cared for and inviting. We would not hesitate to recommend ORAL to other families going through the same process for their loved ones.

Our family has had three cousins reside at Ocean Ridge over a total of four years. We were pleased with the beautiful grounds on each visit as the private, lovely wooded location near the Southern Oregon coast’s main clinics and hospital cannot be beat. The light inside the community is bright, with large windows, high ceilings and spacious bathrooms adding to the comfort and cheerfulness, as well as a perfect grand dining room overlooking the landscaped backyard and roomy patio. All of these features point to why Ocean Ridge is consistently voted the best assisted living on the Southwestern Oregon coast. The natural and architectural beauty of the community helps promote well-being for seniors.

Hi- [name removed] here, I'm a Resident at Ocean Ridge currently and have been for nearly 5 years. My Mother [name removed] was a former Resident as was my Wife [name removed] at Bayside Terrace, their other Community, and I was impressed how well they were taken care of, In all respects. My health has actually improved since I've been here, due to the good Medical , good food, with variety, on a regular basis. One thing they are VERY GOOD at is Staffing, all the Med Tech and Caregivers with rare exceptions are exceptionally friendly, ready to help you with your cares in a confidential, relaxed manner. However, I'm a Man, one of few here and while there is nice Music brought in from outside, the Activities are designed for Woman. What we desperately need here is A POOL TABLE! They say nobody would use it basically, but that's nonsense, I'd be on it everyday and encouraging others. I've written Administration, but no response. Will update if we get one, then it will be perfect! Or Ping-Pong?? Many Want!

The facility administrator is unable to deal with complaints. Instead, denies that the problems exist. Housekeeping is great! Caregivers are great for the most part. Communication with family is good. The food is terrible! Tasteless with poor quality, poorly prepared, with small portions. Moving would be an option if there was a better option. Also, three of the caregivers have become like family and make it hard to leave.

Ocean Ridge Retirement facility is a friendly place. Our experience here has been good. However, the food could be better. The friendliness, staff, and activities are all great. Cleanliness, care services, and cost are good. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

My mom, [name removed] make her home Ocean Ridge for a number of years prior to her death. Ocean Ridge far surpassed any of our family expectations. The management and all caregivers were a second family to her. The kindness, patience and love shown by everyone was such a gift! We looked at many facilities and NONE had the nurturing qualities of Ocean Ridge. Mind stimulation activities, exercise and socializing are an integral part of what they provide daily. There are not enough words or space to describe how much we love and appreciate them. The director is amazing and set the highest standards making the very best!

Fantastic - wonderful. A+

Both of our mothers have lived at Ocean Ridge and have enjoyed the friendly staff and daily activity schedule. The music presentations are especially delightful. The staff is very helpful and available when needed. Our family has been very satisfied with Ocean Ridge.

We were very pleased at the entire staff of their care of my Mom. She started out as private pay and when she needed to take on Medicaid the care remained just as good. When hospice was called in during her final days the staff continued to be just as caring and helpful to us. Another positive was very little staff turnover which assured consistency. Our community is fortunate to have this facility.

Looked at all available such facilities and private homes. This appealed to us the most and we have been delighted with the facilities and staff at all levels. Encourages independence and activities in a safe environment, giving everyone peace mind.

Moving my mom into Ocean Ridge was the right move for us. Since being there she has improved quite a bit. I have not tried the food but it seems to be good and there are a lot of options to choose from. The staff are very attentive and friendly with the residents and their families. They offer a lot of activities and I would definitely recommend this community.

I would recommend it to anyone. I am just really impressed. I went to every place in the area. They were the most expensive, but it is really clean and everyone is so happy. They are smiling and the food is good - I ate there too. I really liked how the resident were treated. It is new and there is always so much going on. They do bingo and activities. This is a big difference from where she was before.
