Review for The Ridge at Madison

It's very expensive but still competitive for the area. The staff are very friendly but the turnover is extremely high and the facilities need upgrading. I would recommend to others depending on their budget.

A place where anyone can stay, regardless of their financial status

What I really love about The Ridge at Madison is that they take Medicaid residents. The cost of being in an assisted living facility is not cheap and they are one of the only communities around here who accept payment from state funded insurance. Every other community is 100% private pay, meaning the residents pay completely out-of-pocket. It is so wonderful that there is a place for people who do not have tons of money to still be able to live and get the care they need.

Love it!!

My grandmother loves The Ridge at Madison! My visits are always uplifting. Staff is informative, compassionate, and empathic to my grandma's needs. She tells me every visit how she feels at home and welcomed there! Management takes a team approach with staff to effectively engage them in excellent care strategies.

I would highly recommend this facility. The Executive Director is amazing, professional, and has a highly trained staff. As an industry professional myself, it takes many factors to provide an exceptional facility for a loved one. This one takes the cake.

My experience with The Ridge was above my expectations. The place is clean with an outstanding staff. The staff you can tell they care, it’s not just a job to them. I was impressed as soon as I walked in, I was greeted by staff and how they could help.

friendly staff, good value, and improvements are being moved

The apartment facilities are very nice and a good value for the money. The staff are pretty communicative when there are any challenges around medication but also very understaffed which causes inconsistency with the level of services they can offer. Also since our loved one has moved in the executive director has turned over 3 times so there are some management issues

This facility is pretty nice overall. They couldn't provide the care that my wife needed. One thing I would suggest is having a nurse on staff full time. That would be really helpful for some residents. They do housekeeping once a week and do an ok job. I turned it down most times. I would recommend them to family and friends who don't need a lot of personal and hands on care. They're not the best fit for higher levels of care.
