Meadow Ridge sits on 136 acres in Redding, Connecticut, where people can enjoy wide-open spaces, walking trails, and elegant indoor spaces like a three-story atrium and an indoor pool with high ceilings, wooden beams, and big windows for lots of natural light, and the apartments themselves, which go from 850 to 2,600 square feet, have things like custom closets, patios or balconies, fireplaces, stone countertops, and crown molding, which makes the place look upscale, but at the same time, residents can count on 24-hour nurse coverage, monitored call systems, and different levels of care right on the same campus. Here, the Ridge Crest Health Center offers help for recovery after hospital stays and delivers services for both long-term nursing care and short-term rehabilitation, and there's a separate memory care unit for people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, built to keep them safe and comfortable while reducing confusion. Staff make sure to personalize care, whether it's independent living for those wanting an active, maintenance-free life, or assisted living help with day-to-day things like medication, dressing, or bathing, or home care from a trained aide, and there's a Lifecare contract that helps residents stay in familiar surroundings even as their needs change over time.
Meadow Ridge has won awards in senior living for care, activities, support, and friendliness, and people living here include authors, businesspeople, artists, and travelers, which creates an active, interesting community with social activities, classes, and entertainment on a regular schedule. Residents can gather for meals in restaurant-style dining rooms and private bistros, and there's a focus on healthy, nutritious food with gourmet touches that make meals a pleasant part of the day. There are places for spiritual support with devotional services both on campus and elsewhere, and there's a library, billiards room, card and game room, salon, dog park, and fitness center, so people always have somewhere to go or something to do, and the Wi-Fi lets residents stay connected however they want, though the exact internet or satellite details aren't listed. The apartments are age-restricted and maintenance-free, so active seniors can come and go as they please without worrying about lawn care or repairs.
Meadow Ridge does a lot to ensure everyone is included, with protections in place against discrimination based on gender identity or orientation, and LGBTQ individuals are protected in public areas, housing, and employment policies too. The campus supports accessibility, but the details on parking, garages, floors, and certain entrance features aren't clear. Residents and their families can check out photo and video galleries of daily life, tour the campus, and use an online portal for community news and events, and there's always 24-hour staff available. Meadow Ridge, at 100 Redding Road, covers a lot of needs and offers support designed to help residents live well, stay social, and get care when they need it.
