Oak Park Retirement in Salisbury, NC

The Oak Park Retirement community is a tremendous facility! The staff members that work there as well as the therapists are absolutely incredible. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families!

Ridgecrest in Mount Airy, NC
5.0

I have lived in Independent Living at Ridgecrest almost 2 1/2 years. The person who has influenced my life since she moved here is [name removed] in Wellness. Her exercise class starts at 10 am Monday through Friday. Now I'm not a morning person but she has changed my life style. I don't want to miss my exercise class! She encourages us and challenges us each day. She is one of the most organized and efficient individuals I've ever been around. She is excellent at her job, not only exercise but change of life style-(Ridgecrest's biggest loser). I've lost 12 1/2 pounds' so far! Yeah!! She has helped me so much in problem areas one-on-one. We are so fortunate and lucky we have someone as dedicated as [name removed] helping us to stay healthier!! She is a treasure!!
