Independent Living

Activities at RidgeCrest.

Uniquely designed to meet the changing needs of today's seniors, RidgeCrest is the retirement community you've dreamed about. Unhurried pace, easy-to-get-to shopping, your own private dining room, and a world of wonderful neighbors—like yourself—that want the best life has to offer. RidgeCrest is more than just a place to retire. It is a place to feel a part of life.
Whether you are volunteering in this wonderful, caring community, enjoying a breathtaking view of the mountains, or joining friends for a game of cards, you are doing so with full confidence that you are in the best of locations. There are friends who care about you, a staff who cares for you, and a peace of mind for your family that no one can put a value on! We think of it as independence when you want it, assistance if you need it.

Many benefits of living at RidgeCrest are obvious, some, not too obvious, yet very important to independent living.

RidgeCrest provides maintenance-free living.

Socialization
One of the most important advantages we have to offer is socialization. The ability for folks to interact with one another, enjoy the camaraderie, and simply be surrounded by people with similar interests, is a vital ingredient to happiness.

Maintenance-free living
Let us do the work. No more home repairs to contend with! No grass to mow, weeds to pull, or gutters to clean. If the plumbing needs repair, or carpets need cleaning... if it needs doing, we take care of it.

Bring your own furniture and decorate your home or apartment the way you want it! Make your new home feel as comfortable as your previous home.Personalization
Members bring their own furniture and decorate their home or apartment to their unique personal satisfaction, so their new home feels as comfortable as the home they may have lived in for many years.

Amenities and services
Having weekly housekeeping, a delicious dinner prepared for you daily, fitness program, hair salon, computers, library, all at your fingertips, is a welcomed reassurance to independent living. Cooking classes held by our chef, bridge clubs, cultural outings, day trips, as well as errands, doctor appointments, and trips to the store, are all regular occurrences at RidgeCrest. Add to that the many ideas our members bring to us for educational events and programs, and folks have a full day of doing just what they want to do.

Independence
Independent Living at RidgeCrest means independence when you want it, assistance if you need it.Members are very pleased by the fact that they can continue to have their own cars and handle all their transportation needs. However, if an occasion arises when they need additional assistance, they can rely on us to get them to the doctor, arrange trips to the mall and grocery store. This is true independence; we are there if and when needed, but you are still in charge.

Security and safety
Security is a top concern at Ridgecrest. Our members (and their families) can rest assured knowing they are secure, and more important, that they are moments away from medical attention at the push of a button with our emergency response system.

Transportation
Transportation to events and appointments is provided for all members at RidgeCrest. Our driver will see that you arrive in style whether traveling in our luxurious sedan or passenger van.

A state-of-the-art Emergency Call system is in place in each residence, so you get the peace of mind to live independently. Emergency Call System
All homes have an emergency notification system as well as smoke detectors which alert our 24-hour staff inside the Ridgecrest community as to what emergency services are needed. Our immediate response can make all the difference. This system is in the form or a push button/pull cord transmitter mounted on the wall of every bathroom. Pendant or bracelet transmitters may be worn as well.
