Hanna House Ridley

Hanna House Ridley sits at 1840 Ridley Ave in Santa Rosa and has been there since 1992, always staying family-owned and run, and people say it feels like a home away from home because it keeps a small, close setting with room for up to 28 residents, so things never feel too crowded or rushed. Folks get help with things like bathing, dressing, moving from place to place, and keeping up with their medicine, whether they need assisted living, memory care, board and care, or even foster care-related needs, and the care here covers everyday needs along with incontinence care, diabetes support, insulin shots, dementia and behavioral help, and hospice care if needed, all with a Registered Nurse with twenty years' experience handling medication evaluations. Staff stay available for 24-hour supervision and keep a call system active around the clock, but nursing shifts run about 12 to 16 hours, so someone's always close even overnight, and the whole place is wheelchair friendly. Meals get thoughtfully prepared with special attention to diets if you need it, and there's always help if someone needs assistance eating or getting to the cozy dining rooms. You'll see places to read, enjoy music, do art projects, or play board games in the inviting common areas, or maybe join fitness classes, spend time in the garden, visit the library, try out the steam room or jacuzzi, or settle in for movie nights and community evening events. Residents can bring their cat or dog along under the pet-friendly rules, and can get help with errands and rides to medical appointments or church thanks to the transportation service. There's a salon on site, a mobile stylist arrangement, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a kitchenette available, plus fresh, clean, semi-private furnished rooms that start at $3,400. Community life keeps on with daily activities, group outings, music and art, board games, and even pet therapy, and folks can also join in devotional activities or resident-led groups if they like. Hanna House Ridley stands out for taking time to make personalized care plans with each resident, and puts a focus on making sure everyone's mental, physical, and emotional health gets attention. The grounds include yard areas, walking paths, and places to sit with friends or family, so you never feel boxed in. The facility isn't accredited by the BBB but it's won some awards for meals, activities, and friendliness. Hanna House Ridley handles both long-term stays and short-term respite care to give families a break when needed, and you'll find it keeps a clean, well-maintained setup with extra services for chores, clothing, and hygiene support. This medium-sized community doesn't aim to be fancy, but it does its best to keep things warm, organized, and easy to settle into.
