What is assisted living? Assisted living, on the whole, is still a relatively new concept. Originally created in the 1980s, assisted living was formed as a less expensive, more home-like alternative to the traditional nursing home.
Although regulations vary from state to state, assisted living provides a wide array of services designed to keep an senior as independent as possible, for as long as possible. In most cases, assisted living helps seniors stay more active, social, and engaged in life than they otherwise would be living alone. Assisted living provides the added security of 24-hour staff, assistance with medications, and communication between health care providers.
Benefits of assisted living include:
- Tailoring of services to the individual needs of the senior
- Maintenance of an senior's lifestyle (assistance with transportation, shopping, and recreation are just a few examples)
- Programs designed to keep an senior active and engaged in life and their surroundings
- Affordable alternative to the high cost of in-home care and nursing homes
- Extended "family" to care and watch out for the senior's safety and well-being
- Regular communication with family members
- Help prevent major disasters that sometimes happen when seniors live alone

Ridgeline Management Company’s signature program, “Moments” is developed to meet the needs of each of our residents through all stages of dementia. The program will attempt to maintain a safe, secure, and predictable environment that fosters a sense of independence and well-being. It will improve residents’ self-esteem through meaningful activities designed around each person’s interests, talents, and abilities.
At Ridgeline, we train our caregivers within to educate them in all stages of dementia (early, middle, and late). Not only will we teach our caregivers how to take care of the residents but also themselves. Because let’s face it, caring for others is hard work.
Our Memory Care Neighborhood is a place for our residents to receive the support and assistance they need, while feeling as much “at home” as possible. The goal of “Moments” program is to design an environment for our residents living with dementia to maximize awareness and orientation. We are here to help retain abilities and maintain their independence as long as possible. It is designed to fulfill Ridgeline’s mission: creating an environment where moments of joy, independence, and wellness provided each and every day.
Our activity programs include physical and cognitive exercises: a variety of musical entertainment; spontaneous one-on-one activities and interactive fun events. We custom design life-enriching activities which fit the needs of each resident and maximize their personal independence.
