The Villa At Blue Ridge sits at 701 Blue Ridge Rd in Columbia, MO, and folks have used the name a while now for senior care, and you'll see different ratings with an average community sentiment at 4.1, but also a direct 3.2 out of 5 based on 17 reviews, so opinions do vary. The facility works as a nursing home and offers non-medical home care services, so staff help with things like moving around, grooming, preparing meals, toileting, transferring, and light housekeeping, plus they'll drive out to the client's home when needed, which is handy for folks who want to stay put, and staff hiring seems thorough, with background checks, licenses, certifications, drug and immunization screenings, reference and offender checks all in the process. The hourly rate for help runs about $20-$27, which many find reasonable, and you can expect care plans and service agreements based on an initial assessment that helps determine your particular needs. Residents also get transportation for medical appointments, with accessible vans that make getting to the doctor less of a worry, and the place claims to focus on folks' physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being, aiming to enhance overall wellness. The Villa At Blue Ridge tries to offer broad help, so you might find coaching for finances, career questions, and even homeownership, along with crisis support and housing lists, which isn't what every place has, but seems useful if you ever need some extra guidance. Amenities and services lean toward basic needs, wellness, and crisis help, while medical oversight comes through physician supervision for long-term residents. You can ask questions through their contact form if you're curious, there's an option to pay your bill online, and families can schedule a tour to see the place in person and get their own sense of the space and staff. Powered by Element 74, The Villa At Blue Ridge offers a mix of services, but it's always a good idea to weigh your needs and check how the place fits with what you're looking for.

Unsafe poorly run staff failures
I appreciated the friendly, attentive nurses, CNAs, and a wonderful social worker/activity director, but my overall experience was unsafe and badly run. Call buttons were slow or ignored, staff sometimes delayed or didn't help after a fall, meds and insulin were mishandled, and I was lied to and even yelled at. Food was awful with no choices, rooms weren't kept clean, and admissions/paperwork and communication were chaotic. I cannot recommend this facility.
