Ridge Crest Manor

Ridge Crest Manor in Colfax, WI, is a medium-size senior care community with 16 licensed beds and is set up for people who need help moving around or can't walk long distances, so they call it a Community-based Residential Facility - Non-ambulatory. The place offers studio rooms and focuses on assisted living, memory care, and short-term nursing services, which means residents who want to stay independent get personal help with cooking, laundry, medication, dressing, bathing, and just about all the daily basics, and they have people there 24/7 in case anyone needs help right away. They have special programs and secure wings for people with memory loss, like Alzheimer's and dementia, so the doors are monitored, staff get extra training, and there are safe outdoor areas for fresh air, but if someone needs more than three hours of actual nursing care a week, the family's supposed to talk to the Department of Health and Family Services about getting an exemption. Ridge Crest Manor provides respite care for short-term stays, and people recovering from illness or injury can use the rehab services, and registered nurses can do medical care up to the legal weekly limit. Seniors can pick how they pay, with options for all-inclusive, different fees for different things, or some with upfront costs like security deposits or applications, so folks need to ask about which plan fits best. People might have the option to decorate or bring in their own furniture, but the staff makes sure most things are provided except for clothes. The place has a 2-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and an average rating of 6.8 out of 10, so it's good to know the scores before deciding. Residents get to join in on group activities, walk around safe paths, and take part in programs made to keep folks busy and comfortable, and there's always someone keeping an eye out and making sure everyone stays safe, since the whole idea is to offer care in a homelike setting without pretending to be fancy. Ridge Crest Manor works with different care levels, so people who are ambulatory, semiambulatory, or need more help can stay, and everything's based on clear care plans that look at what each person needs, especially for folks with memory problems. The building aims for comfort and safety-especially for memory care-and tries to offer a quiet, friendly place to live for older adults who need some extra support but still want their own space.
