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 At Valley Ridge is my new pet-friendly home. I am happy! I am grateful for all the smiles and warm words of friendship that always greet me; for the caring and kindness that has surrounded me since the moment I arrived. The staff are wonderful. You are immediately impressed by the dining room where you are treated to a wide variety of nutritious, delicious food, professionally prepared to accommodate your preferences, and graciously served; highlighted by seasonal, locally produced foods. It is a comfortably relaxed environment. There happy times for singing, games, exercise classes, entertainment, happy hour, outings for shopping and to special places of interest. I love the privacy and comfort of my second floor suite; wall-to-wall windows that look to the lovely green of a variety of great evergreens, shrubs and trees where birds sing and flit through the branches while squirrels climb the trees and romp and play. The Lounge along the hall is always open for coffee or a cup of your favourite tea, with fresh baked cookies, and a visit with resident friends or visitors,,
