Landmark Lifestyles at Ridgeland sits on the old Cabot Lodge site and used to be a hotel, but after a full renovation down to the studs, the place now offers modern senior living with southern charm. You see lots of natural light coming through big windows in the open-concept apartments, and there are several floor plans, including studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedroom units. The apartments all have walk-in showers, kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves, and walk-in closets, plus individually controlled heat and air for comfort. The whole community's got plenty of spaces to gather, like a fireside living room, a library, furnished balconies, a porch, and a courtyard with garden and putting green, along with a salon, fitness center, bocce court, game room, and even a theater area for activities.
Long-term stays work well here. Licensed nurses and team members are around 24 hours a day to help with daily activities like bathing or medication management, and they keep a close watch on residents' health and safety. Help in memory care goes to adults with Alzheimer's or dementia, and staff get ongoing dementia training, following an engagement-focused care philosophy. Residents have their own personal service plans so care's personalized, and there's always support with personal hygiene, reminders, laundry service, and medication assistance. Housekeeping and maintenance come standard, and there's a calendar full of daily activities, special programs, and outings, plus chef-prepared meals served in a big dining area, room service if needed, snacks and drinks always on hand, and a small café for relaxing.
Small pets are allowed in the apartments, and there's even an enclosed dog park, though the overall pet policy is a bit strict. Those living here can enjoy Wi-Fi, basic cable, telephone hook-ups, surface parking, and transportation services for errands or appointments. For couples, there are spaces big enough for two, and the setting feels both caring and vibrant. Landmark Lifestyles At Ridgeland gives you several lifestyle options-assisted living, memory care, independent living, and it's organized for continuing care so residents don't have to move again as care needs grow. The building itself is spacious and updated because it's a brand-new $27 million project, and because it's managed by Wealth Hospitality, which also runs a Holiday Inn Express, the place feels well-run. More than 100 assisted-living units are ready for people to move in, with opening expected as soon as October 1. Sharon S. leads as the community director and keeps a close eye on how things run.
Residents and their families will find tools and resources for planning, paying for care, and understanding things like Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans Benefits. There are options for selling a house or using assets to help pay, plus guidance on tax benefits and possible deductions. Caregivers can use the on-site glossary, support materials, and lifestyle information to figure out what works for them. The whole point is to make living easier, safer, and more engaging for older adults, whether they still live on their own or they need extra help because of health or memory issues, and to offer support for both the resident and their family along the way.
