Overview of Ridgewood Senior Living

Facebook

Ridgewood Senior Living offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Bennington, NE. Independent living gives residents a private home with community services but no daily care. Assisted living supports daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while residents maintain their own apartment.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care offers a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. The range of care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

The community has 88 beds and offers private studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. A two-bedroom apartment can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion, while a studio offers one private living space.

Residents can spend time in the landscaped outdoor courtyard, use the salon and barbershop or exercise facilities, and eat in the restaurant-style dining area. A private dining room is available for family events. Activities include gardening, live music performances, trips to local museums, family nights, games, and a bridge group, while the chapel and prayer groups provide settings for residents who want them.

Pets are allowed, so residents may bring a companion animal when moving in. Sarah Gebhardt serves as the administrator, and Gahc3 Bennington Ne Alf Trs Sub operates the community.
