Claridge Court

Six years ago my husband and I made the decision to move to Claridge Court. We were impressed by the people we met, the location, the size, the dining facilities, and the various activities that were available. Research has shown how important it is for seniors to be in contact with others. There are many, many opportunities for interactions with residents and staff members at Claridge Court. The activities range from exercise classes, field trips, happy hours, concerts, spiritual events and intellectual pursuits. The list goes on and on. Claridge Court was the best decision for us.

Our late mother moved into the independent living section of Claridge Court, enjoying a very positive experience with well organized activities, films and speakers, work out classes, art classes and more. The dining room is lovely, and she enjoyed her meals there. Her apartment and the entire building and campus were always very well maintained. Claridge employees were helpful, professional and kind. As her health declined, our mother moved to the Health Center. Here, as she became more dependent on care, the ongoing kindness of Claridge staff - from aides to nursing staff, dining employees, activities and social work staff and more - was very evident. There are too many individuals to name, but we are ever grateful for their care and concern for our mother’s comfort. Communication between Claridge and our family was prompt and helpful, and any requests we made were attended to professionally. We highly recommend Claridge Court.

My mom was accepted to stay at Claridge Court for two weeks. We have experienced a rehab facility in the area once before and it was truly terrible. So, our stress level was very high arriving to this facility. I can’t begin to express just how impressed I am by Claridge Court. The day mom arrived, within an hour of arriving I found the Administrator to tell her how relieved I was just a few minutes into her stay. First, the staff is remarkable. The nurses are caring and kind. (Belinda was our main nurse) The aides (a terrible weak point in our last experience) are lovely and respectful. ( I wish I knew all their names!) The activities staff is joyous. Shout out to Justin and Angie and Kalissa. They play games, make jokes, pour wine, and truly love their job! They brighten the day and are so adept at helping residents come together. Inclusion is their way of life. They are part of why I love to go visit there. Complete opposite of our last experience. Matt, the answer man as we call him, is lovely. He’s the mastermind of the floor. Has helped us so many ways. The PT staff is tough but encouraging. My mom is walking better, stronger and faster than she has in over 3 years. And the dietary team is so very special. Led by Kristen, they truly care about what the residents prefer for their meals. By the way, my mom is a foodie and a tough critic and she absolutely loves the food. The variety is amazing and the flavors are remarkable. There is a pub and salon available. The staff encourages interaction. They treat the residents with such respect. I like the staff so much that I wish they were my friends. I am so relieved that we found this care center. My family knows that, should I ever need these services, take me there!
