Our mom was here for 2 1/2 years. The staff are remarkable! All the wonderful services, life enrichment programs, delicious food, the care, patience and expertise are outstanding. A beautiful facility hands down and can't say enough good things about it.

Valley Ridge Lodge is the best place for seniors! Everything is clean, well decorated and all the staff are friendly. Chef Sany is very cheerful, happy, and caring. The food is excellent. You would be amazed on how everything is embellished. He makes sure no one leaves without a smile. I highly recommend it to anyone who has grandparents, who wants them to live a great life. Go for it!

The Lodge is very elegant and beautifully designed. The staff are extremely friendly and always eager to help. I found the residents welcoming and engaging even though we were just visiting. I think the behavior and manner of the residents is enlightening and indicative of the level of happiness and contentment within the facility. I was at peace leaving my beloved mother in their care. 2 thumbs up from me.
