    Review

    Green Ridge Assisted Living has garnered mixed reviews from residents and their family members. While some express dissatisfaction with the cleanliness, unprofessional staff, limited activities, and terrible food provided, others have had pleasant experiences and found the facility to be comfortable and secure.

    One reviewer recounts their father's experience at Green Ridge Assisted Living. Initially reluctant to go, he eventually admitted that he didn't mind being there and would return if necessary. The staff was attentive and provided COVID safety precautions, creating a clean and friendly environment. The manicured lawn added to the overall appeal of the facility.

    Another individual planning to move into Green Ridge Assisted Living praises its attractiveness and security. They feel that the facility is comfortable and provides a good view. The staff appears polite and sociable, while also offering various activities for residents such as card games, trips to the casino, access to a fitness area, and computers.

    On the other hand, a resident who currently resides at Green Ridge Manor expresses disappointment in the work ethic of the staff. However, they acknowledge that their room is clean and appreciate having a roommate. While bingo is offered three times a week for entertainment purposes, they believe that more activities should be added to improve residents' experience.

    A different perspective comes from someone whose grandmother resided at Green Ridge Assisted Living. They mention that the staff has always been friendly and attentive. The receptionist warmly greeted visitors upon arrival and directed them appropriately. Their grandmother felt fairly treated without any instances of abuse. The communal living room provided opportunities for socializing with other residents through board games or watching TV together. The staff's patience in spending time with residents was highlighted by an example where they engaged in conversation about one resident's love for actor George Clooney during a movie screening in the living room.

    In conclusion, opinions regarding Green Ridge Assisted Living are diverse but highlight important aspects of the facility's strengths and weaknesses. While concerns are raised about cleanliness, staff training, and limited activities, positive experiences are shared regarding the friendly staff, COVID precautions, comfort of the facility, and opportunities for social interaction. Overall, it is evident that Green Ridge Assisted Living needs to address certain areas for improvement while also maintaining the positive aspects that have made it a positive experience for some residents.
