Burton’s Ridge
Burton’s Ridge is a community in Lima, Ohio, offering assisted living, hospice care, independent living, memory care, palliative care, and respite care. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with dressing, bathing, medication, and other daily tasks while the resident keeps an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for a person at risk of wandering.
Hospice care focuses on comfort near the end of life, while palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom management during serious illness. Respite care provides a short-term stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. These options give families different forms of support as care needs change.
Burton’s Ridge has 44 beds, making it a smaller community where staff and residents may get to know each other. The community opened in 1998. Its range of care levels can support a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.
