Overview of The Residences at East Ridge Village

The Residences at East Ridge Village offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing in Miami, Florida. Independent living means private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with tasks such as dressing, bathing, and taking medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision, and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Having several care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, including someone who may eventually need a secured memory care setting or skilled nursing. The community opened in 1962 and has 106 beds. Respite care provides a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Pets are allowed. The dog park gives residents a designated place to spend time with a pet. A pool, beauty salon, fitness center, and resident library provide places for exercise, personal grooming, reading, and recreation. Chef prepared meals are served in the dining room, while the bistro offers casual fare and all day dining accommodates different schedules.

Transportation and rehabilitation services are also available, giving residents access to rides and therapy services. A Walk Score of 37 out of 100 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride; residents who no longer drive would need transportation for those errands. Allen Masconi serves as the administrator, and Cutler Bay Al Operating operates the community.
