Ridge Manor of Calhoun

Ridge Manor of Calhoun sits on five quiet acres in Calhoun, Georgia, with nearby walking trails and plenty of green space, and though there's not much noise or traffic, you'll usually see birds or maybe a squirrel out near the gazebo, where the porches stay inviting most days. The place has under ten beds, so most folks know each other's names, and the staff keep things running a lot like a home, where meals are home-style, shared at dining tables, and you can usually catch the smell of popcorn popping in the common area where people gather to relax or talk. Ridge Manor provides help with daily things like bathing, dressing, or moving around the house. Caregivers make sure medicines are taken on time and help with more complex needs like ostomies, feeding tubes, or oxygen. There's always at least two staff on duty for every six residents, so there's enough support for those who have trouble with memory or who need extra attention, and the staff are chosen carefully with over 70 hours of training before they start, so they know how to help with conditions like dementia, Parkinson's, ALS, Huntington's, or even PSP. The building's been renovated and has private and shared rooms with natural light, simple, calm decorations, and enough space in bedrooms and bathrooms for folks to move safely. Residents can join in daily activities or sit outside if the weather's nice. This place is a Medicaid provider, so it accepts help from those services. The home's set up to be secure, especially for memory care, and families can get support too if they need it. Ridge Manor calls itself a residential memory care home and is sometimes listed as an Adult Foster Home or Personal Care Home. They serve seniors who might need independent living, assisted living, or nursing home help, even through the later stages of memory problems. After more than ten years, Ridge Manor keeps its focus on making life steady and comfortable for older adults, with high-caliber staff, plenty of outdoor space, and a straight forward, home-like routine.
