  I have been very impressed with the kindness and patience that the staff shows to all the residents in memory care. I have no complaints, and feel my father is being well cared for.

  The new server David was great but now he's gone. The new older little lady does a fair job. One employee's favorite thing to say is: "That's not my job!" to the residents.

  Kindness at The Ridge at Healdsburg

  Very nice staff and management despite a change in ownership going on. They were all gentle with my mother during her last days and they were very sympathetic to me. I would recommend this facility (now called The Ridge at Healdsburg) for memory care. I have no experience with their assisted living building but I would imagine the staff would be just as caring.

  My mother was at Healdsburg. Unfortunately, we weren't clear about her diagnosis at that point, so she was in assisted living, and it quickly became obvious that she needed memory care. And at that time, their memory care facility (which is adorable) was full. It's far away from me, but it's near my sister, so we moved her back closer to me. Their food was excellent. It's an older facility set in a very unique location. Inside, it had been nicely modernized. All the AC worked. It's nice inside. It felt really warm and welcoming. It is a smaller facility than some of the other facilities that I had seen. They have a lovely outdoor space that includes a garden and some goats and chickens, which appealed to my mother. They had activities every day. And the schedule was easily accessible to me so I could call my mother and find out what was going on. There was bingo, morning stretching, yoga classes, and memory games. What was different about Healdsburg Senior Living was that everybody knew their clients. I felt like the people who worked there were on a personal level with their client's needs and were able to advocate appropriately with families when things changed. My mother's needs changed while we were there, and they were so kind in the way that they expressed that my mother needed memory care. And I think one of the hardest things for a family member to hear when you're in assisted living is that your family needs more care. But the way they handled it was beautiful. The staff was caring, confident, and well-informed. We were getting good care.

  We had been searching for a senior community for my mother in law for months. When we toured Healdsburg Senior Living we knew we had found the right place. Staff is incredible. So much so they called and text messaged me the first few days to let my family know how my mother in law was doing. Simply put, and incredible staff and community. We are lucky to have found such a great fit.

  The food is sub-standard. They are short staffed and can take awhile to follow up on requests. I would only recommend them because I don't think you'd see much difference in other facilities, unless we paid a lot more. Everyone is very patient and kind, and does their best to support and care for the residents. That said, they are short staffed which can be problematic.

  Healdsburg was a nice location. I liked the little vegetable garden that they have in the back that you could work in. Also, they had some animals there, which I thought was a nice aspect of it since I'm a country girl. The people were all very nice. I thought the food was rather bland. I was not impressed with it. It was kind of a small place. That's what my friend said about it. I think they only have like 35 people or something and it seemed to be rather religious-oriented. So, she kind of thought that she wouldn't be as comfortable there. She'd rather be in a place with around 100 people and have more access to finding someone that she would hit it off with more.

  I went to tour Healdsburg. I liked the staff that I met and I liked the way they had their memory care set up, where it was just a community around a centrally located place. The rooms were kind of all in the center. You just wake up and you're right with everybody. The staff was informative and helpful. I liked him quite a bit.

  Healdsburg was great. I liked the fact that the people were honest. I also liked the cleanliness of the facility, the attention that was given to the residents, and that the people are caring and compassionate. The food is great. They also have a garden where they incorporate some it into their food program. They have chickens and goats so that my husband can look out the window and see the animals (which is wonderful because we're from a farm here).

  I had a very nice feel for Healdsburg. They have a lot of very appropriate activities. They are very community-oriented. The staff answered all my questions. The facility was very lovely. They have a music room and self-help dining areas where you can go in and get your snacks. They do varied activities, from playing cards to crafts. I'm overall impressed with them.

  From the goats and the chickens to the lovely grounds and the beautiful interior, this community is lovely from all angles. However what really makes the community shine is the dedicated core group of staff who continue to work very hard to meet and exceed residence needs. Looking forward to continued improvement and success with this beautiful community

  Poorly run and completely unresponsive

  Our father has been a resident here for years. New management took over and the place has completely changed. Our fathers apartment is filthy, the carpet is a mess, and his toilet and bathroom are covered with feces and a pungent smell. Management refuses to return phone calls. Most of the previous staff has quit. We cannot get our phone calls answered for routine issues like doctor appointments to severe issues like a recent fall our father had there. Management keeps raising the rates without providing basic services such as housekeeping and transportation. Family groups have had to communicate with each other…still without response of correction of problems. We do not recommend until management is changed and issues are resolved. How do you not answer phone calls and blame the phone company for over a year?

  Huge decline in quality

  This formerly family owned facility was a loving and professional home until it was sold to Pacifica Senior Living. There are multiple Covid cases but only family members of those infected are informed so there is no way to know how many infections there are. Staff is entirely unsupervised and their duties are not being reliably performed. There are staff members struggling to do the right thing but the shortage of staff makes their efforts nothing short of heroic. Multiple complaints have been filed with the state and various penalties are under consideration. I urge you to call California Community Care Licensing before even risking a tour.

  When evaluating memory care units for my mother in 2017, I was immediately impressed with Healdsburg Senior Living’s facilities and staff. Healdsburg Senior Living maintains a large portion of their property as a mini-farm with vegetable, herb, and flower gardens, chickens, and dwarf goats. The sensory experiences provided by the “farm” are integral to their approach to memory therapy, and the residents are encouraged to help with the gardening instead of sitting inside all day. Since Mom grew up on a farm, I knew this environment would be ideal for her. I continue to be impressed with the dedication of the staff to the well-being of the residents, from the music therapy programs to the thorough emergency procedures that have been so vital during the wildfires and COVID-19. When I meet families of other residents, a common comment is that we will move ourselves into Healdsburg Senior Living should we need assisted living in the future.

  A happy mother

  My mother spent the last 7 years of her life at the Healdsburg Senior Living Community. It was home to Mom and for us too due to the caring, warm and creative environment the staff have created there. At every visit, it was touching to see all the staffs interaction with the residents. They would go out of their way to make them feel wanted and comfortable, and to engage with them. There were always a lot of activities going on and much engagement with the outside community from school kids to local musicians. The remarkable garden and animals at the facility really created a wonderful addition and place of involvement. They were the perfect place to visit and invaluable when grandchildren were along. The gardens gave my mother the opportunity to see and be inspired by life again. The vegetables brought back many memories of her childhood and the chickens just made her laugh. The facility was always perfectly clean. It was such a pleasure to get to know everyone there over the years. My mother was in skilled nursing at the end of her life. The nurses gave her wonderful loving care. I’m so glad my mother was there. There are too many people to thank- Rob the director, (name removed), community engagement, who came up with the idea of the garden and animals, to (name removed) in charge of activities to my mother’s last nurses, [names removed].
