Ridgewood Adult Family Home

Ridgewood Adult Family Home offers care in a place that feels like a family house rather than a large institution, and you'll notice they use special terms for a lot of their programs and rooms, like the Wound Healing Center at Easton Hospital, which stands out since this location really focuses on diseases of the lymphatic system and wound healing, and they don't just treat but try to educate people with a resource center and even educational films about lymphatic disease, so if someone needs high-level medical care, like for wounds, diabetes, incontinence, or memory loss, staff here can handle all that in a smaller, homelike setting where residents get high acuity care that matches what they need. The home has indoor and outdoor common areas, so folks can spend time either inside relaxing or outside when the weather's nice, and activities happen both on-site and off-site, including devotional services for those who want them, so there's usually something to do. They offer private rooms, which helps people have some personal space, and private wheelchair-accessible showers, which is important for comfort and safety, and their staff provide care for people who can't walk or who need help with daily living, and there's diabetic care here, too. Ridgewood serves vegetarian and kosher meals, looking out for different food needs, and there's a beautician available if someone wants a haircut or other services, and for getting around, transportation's available, with some rides included and others offered at cost. The focus on education about lymphatic diseases stands out, since not many adult family homes have that, and the wound care services are very specific, but for other things, like common amenities, relaxation spaces, and meals, Ridgewood has those basics covered in a straightforward, no-nonsense way.
