A wonderful place to be

I have made a lot of friends while living here. The friendships I have made are very special. I enjoy the free transportation and interacting with the other residents and staff. I like the food and my doctor has even commented in how I am flourishing since moving into a community. I am happy that I made the choice to move to Echo Ridge.

My home

I like living at Echo Ridge. The staff treat me with kindness I get no where else. They accommodate my doctors visits in Maryville and make sure bring me my food when I’m sick. Whenever I need someone, they are available to help me. I’m glad to have the residents around so I’m not lonely. The food is hit or miss but with people from many walks of life, I imagine it’s hard to please us all!

Critical

Did not live up to expectations

Echo Ridge has Not lived up to my expectations, based on what they promised before I moved in. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Most people are here because it is the least expensive. If you decide to come here do not expect much.

Review for Holiday Echo Ridge

I am very HAPPY at ECHO RIDGE. I have been here almost 2 months. The residents are very friendly. They have several activities to do here. Still trying to organize ALL of my belongings. Looking forward to getting involved with all they have to offer. Thank you for recommending Echo Ridge to me.

I visited this facility

Holiday Echo Ridge was the first place that I looked at with my wife and we liked it and then I took my dad there. I like the very friendly staff, large living spaces, and they're in the process of renovating. We had lunch there and it was OK. I like food that has flavor. I even talked to the chef. He said that he can't do too much because they won't eat it if it's too spicy. They have to keep the food kind of bland. They had a nice sitting area in the garden. They had an activities planner full…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My dad moved into Holiday Echo Ridge. They recently renovated their common areas, and they're in the process of finishing up, but the bathroom, the kitchen, and his unit have not been updated. It's doable, but it hasn't been updated with everything else. I thought that the cabinets and stuff were going to be remodeled in the units as well. They're very approachable. I've had a few issues with just getting a few things done, but he's only been there for two weeks, so we're just try…
