Landmark Lifestyles Ridgeland sits on the site of the old Cabot Lodge Hotel in Ridgeland, after a big renovation, and you can tell that it was a real hotel once because the rooms, the hallways, and the shared spaces are a lot bigger than in most senior communities, so you don't feel cramped at all, and the big windows everywhere let in a lot of natural light, which keeps things bright and open. Wealth Hospitality, which also does hotels like Holiday Inn Express and Tru By Hilton in Ridgeland, developed the place and spent a lot making sure it's modern, comfortable, and built with current trends in mind, including a big, new kitchen and dining room, a hair and nail salon, plus a movie theater built for group events and activities.
There are 108 units in this $27 million development, with a mix of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, and you get to choose from five different floor plans, so people who want more space or who have a pet can find something that fits. Rooms have walk-in closets, walk-in showers, lighted mirrors in the bathroom, and kitchenettes, along with new furnishings and easy-to-use features, and if you need housekeeping, help with medication, bathing, or just a check-in, the staff covers that. Licensed nurses are on duty all day and night, and the community looks after both assisted living and memory care residents with specific services and support, including daily activity help, reminders, personal care, and safety, especially for folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia. Independent living is available too, for adults who don't need much or any assistance, and there's skilled nursing available for those with more medical needs.
The public spaces feel comfortable but also spacious, with places like the fireside family living room, a well-stocked library, a café/bistro, and lots of outdoor spots, from furnished balconies and walking paths to a putting green, bocce ball court, and even an enclosed dog park for people's small pets. Fun things to do show up on the community calendar-things like crafts, exercise, games, movies, and trips out in town-and if you want to socialize, there are shared meals each day prepared by chefs, plus snacks and drinks, along with room for private gatherings if a family wants to visit. Residents will find lots of amenities like the fitness center, salon and spa, game room, high-speed internet, postal service, a piano, and plenty of space to sit both inside and out, including a safe, lighted courtyard and landscaped grounds, which some folks enjoy since the place is recognized as a Tree City USA and sits inside a city that's friendly to bicyclists. Landmark Lifestyles Ridgeland aims to be affordable with resources on how people can use home sales, insurance, tax benefits, and even veterans benefits to help with expenses, and they give advice to caregivers and families about Medicaid, Medicare, and planning for care when needed. The community is clean, new-looking, and well-run, and has plenty of options for older adults, whether living alone or as a couple needing a little help, and the staff focuses on residents' interests and health so people can feel comfy and supported as they age.
