Ridgefield Station Senior Living

Ridgefield Station Senior Living sits in the foothills of the Berkshires, offering support for seniors through independent living, assisted living, and memory care, and there's a real focus on helping those with memory loss through the Compass Memory Support Neighborhood with its evidence-based programs, which is important if someone's dealing with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, and many residents feel safe here because the place is set up to keep folks from wandering and reduce confusion, and for those who need a little extra care, there's help with things like bathing, dressing, and medication management, with specialized options for diabetic care, incontinence, and non-ambulatory needs, and there are 86 apartments and a bunch of different layouts-studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom-so someone can pick what feels most right, and when it comes to food, there's restaurant-style dining using the healthy Mediterranean diet, and chefs offer meals that fit special diets like low or no sodium, so folks can stick with what works for their health. The community is pet-friendly and accessible for folks who need wheelchairs or other help, folks can enjoy a number of indoor and outdoor spaces, including a comfortable library, a cinema, a fitness studio, an art room, and a physical therapy room, and there's even a salon and game room for social time, and themed events, like a Roaring Twenties Party, get people together for some fun and treats, so you don't feel alone or bored. Residents take trips around town in a community van, which helps keep everyone connected to the local area, and there's plenty to do on site with the EnrichedLIFE program encouraging hobbies, social time, and mental sharpness, and a film series like "The Extraordinary Caregiver" brings stories and learning to the group. For families who need a break from daily caregiving, the respite care is helpful, and trial stays are possible without a long-term commitment, and everyone gets to see what life is like without pressure. Ridgefield Station is run by Senior Living Residences, offers community news and events, shares testimonials, and pictures of daily life, and has won awards for best meals, activities, friendliness, plus has received the Best of Senior Living and All Star titles, showing people appreciate the staff and services. The care team focuses on safety, well-being, and keeping things personalized, whether someone lives there long-term or just tries it out for a bit, and home care aides can help with companionship and non-medical needs at home if staying on site isn't the right fit, so there's a lot of flexibility for different situations and preferences, all in a place that's been serving seniors since 1990.
