I visited this facility

Sandy Ridge Assisted Living was a very nice and very clean facility. The director gave me a tour and she showed me all the different areas. They have a lot of employees, too. They can accommodate 120 people, and now they only have 60. It was very quiet. The menu looked nice. The rooms are large and very clean, and you can bring your own furniture if you want to. They're more like a studio. They have a bed and a dresser, and you can take your own chair. Most of them have their own bathrooms. They have a room fo…

A Pleasant Surprise in Montgomery County for My Loved One, That is Very Nice

This is a memory care facility and it is probably as good as it can get. The staff are very friendly and forthcoming to the family with answers to our questions or concerns. The food is more geared towards the residents that are having trouble with eating or not wanting to eat.

I would recommend the facility

We chose Sandy Ridge Memory Care and Assisted Living due t the cost and the cleanliness of the facility when we went into the interview. I felt very comfortable when I walked in, after I sat down and they gave me the tour I just felt like this would be the perfect fit. The room sizes here are very spacious, my mother has a private room and it is adequate for her needs. The best part about the community so far has been during the pandemic, they shut down earlier than a lot of facilities did. They kept the virus out …

Great place if you truly need memory care or assisted living. Mom is too independent at this point for this place but I would recommend.

Happy Home

I'm so delighted with Sandy Ridge I can't say enough good things about them. My wife is getting excellent care here they are so caring and attentive to her. They keep it well kept up and clean the community has 2 courtyards they are well maintained and on front porch have some rocking chairs. The food is well balanced and nourishing. She loves getting her hair done weekly. And most important the employees are happy and enthusiastic to work here. I would recommend this to anyone.
