    Positive experience with staffing concerns

    I chose Birch Ridge for its small, homey feel, clean rooms, lovely grounds and welcoming staff - Amber Fortenberry and manager Ola Apata stood out as caring and responsive. Meals were good, the community felt safe and pet-friendly, and staff often went out of their way to help. However, I noticed staffing shortages, turnover and inconsistent care at times, plus communication and meal-tracking issues. The common areas need modernization (outdated furniture, carpet removal, automatic doors for accessibility) and activity programming could be stronger. Overall I had a positive, personal experience but would recommend with reservations until staffing and facility kinks are resolved.
