Cahaba Ridge

My wife & I have been here for almost 6 years and love the home we have established here. The management, staff, and neighbor residents are extremely friendly & really make this feel like a close-knit community. The food here is excellent, and the proximity to medical facilities, shopping, etc., is an ideal location. Our activities director is great at keeping some activity going on all the time. If anyone here is bored--it's their own fault because there is always a variety of engaging activities available.

Very friendly and welcoming staff during our visits.🙂

Staff and residents are like family. Managers are wonderful. Came here after the death of my spouse and found compassion and community. The facility is terrific, the food is delicious, and the activities are many and varied. Recommend Cahaba Ridge heartily!

My husband and I moved to Cahaba Ridge 2 months ago. We were welcomed with friendship, caring, and fun from all our neighbors. The food is terrific - prepared by an award-winning chef who provides us with three daily menus that are mouth-watering! There are always activities to engage in every day, so there’s no time for loneliness! Our entire family says they can tell from our responses what a difference it has made in our outlook! New friends, special activities, fantastic food - your life will be blessed!

I have looked at Cahaba Ridge Retirement Community, and it's completely independent. It's close to where I live. I think that is where I will go someday because I really liked it. It was one of the loveliest places I've ever seen. You almost feel like you're on a cruise ship. I also just like color as it makes me happy. There's a little fountain in the middle of it when you walk in. They have one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and a few three-bedroom apartments. The rooms were nice, and to be honest, they're not as big and roomy-looking as the ones in other places, but they are still very attractive. All the meals are provided, and I like that, too. The staff was also very friendly, every one of them.

Cahaba Ridge went beyond all our expectations! The community and the facility were so unique. My mom often comments that she feels as if she is at a resort. She has found friendship and support in a comfortable environment that will allow her to stay where she is. If the time comes for her to need more care, she will stay in the home she has and will remain comfortable and not have to leave her beautiful place. The staff are excellent and the food is absolutely amazing. I think our family comes up with excuses to join her for meals, especially Sunday brunch. We could not be happier.

Spoke with Angie Bryant, she called me within 10 mins of my inquiry which was wonderful on a busy day with small windows of opportunities. She was pleasant and took the time to answer all my questions and thoroughly engage in the conversation.

After much research we chose Cahaba Ridge six years ago as the best senior community for my in-laws as they moved from out of state to be near us. We are so glad we did. This is truly an aging-in-place facility, as it is all independent living, so no mandates to move to another level of care — you can bring in help as needed. But there is a lot of support built in, with onsite pt, a little store, salon, incredible food 24 hours a day and innovative activities, all within a very attractive environment. But the best part is the people who work here. They truly act as if it is their pleasure to serve their residents and treat them as if they are at an actual resort. A year ago, when we realized my mother-in-law might need more advanced care, we explored other nearby options. We found nothing else could compare with what she had, and so committed to bringing in additional caregivers as long as possible. We are so grateful for that option — and that she can continue to enjoy Cahaba Ridge.

Cahaba Ridge has been home for my parents for the past four years. We couldn’t ask for a nicer, cleaner, friendlier home for them. They have been able to stay in their apartment through all stages of care and it truly feels like home!!

My husband and I have lived in Cahaba Ridge for about 18 months and our experience has been great! All of the staff here….from managers to kitchen and dining staff, and housekeepers ….are welcoming, friendly and helpful! Activities are abundant and anyone can be as busy or as unbusy as they wish! Residents as well as staff are amazing and become like family! Cahaba Ridge is truly a community where everyone knows your name!

I toured Cahaba Ridge Retirement Community and it was excellent. It was like a resort, and that's what I liked the most. It had everything. The food and the place looked nice. It looked like I was at a nice hotel. They had a theater, they had good food, wine tasting, and they had poker games. The room looked like a nice apartment. They had a menu of where you could choose what you wanted to eat, and a chef prepared them. They had so much freedom to eat what they wanted, and it's not unhealthy things that they're feeding them, and it's not crummy food that they're feeding them. I didn't taste it, but it just looked like I was at a hotel going into the restaurant. They had a salad bar, too.

Cahaba Ridge in Alabama was a beautiful community and food was outstanding. My husband and I really enjoyed touring this gorgeous facility and hope to make a return visit.

My mom moved in at Cahaba Ridge and she loves it. She's 93, and although they aren't an assisted living facility, they provide group activities and many conveniences for their residents. The food is incredible always. My family couldn't be more pleased with the quality of life she is having at Cahaba Ridge. Not one complaint from her or our family.

Cahaba Ridge Retirement Community is an independent living facility. This is just strictly apartment living, although they offer everything that you could imagine that you would ever want. There's foodservice and all kinds of special things. It's a wonderful place. The apartments are spacious and welcoming, and the staff was welcoming, they just didn't have any openings. They had an incredible line-up of activities, it is a very active community with all sorts of interest groups and opportunities. Jeanette was just a wonderful representative of the company, very knowledgeable, and had all sources of resources. We would have been delighted to write a check and say "We want to live here." But there are 20 people ahead of us, and the turnover is about 5 apartments a year, so that's not an option for us.

This community was really great and it was a nice tour. The value for the cost and the location were the main two important factors for us.

Birmingham's Best Retirement Community.

LIVED HERE 3 YEARS AND LOVE IT

I like Cahaba Ridge Retirement Community and I would like for my dad to move there. I have a friend whose parents live there. I like that the apartment I want for him there has a private patiom, because then his visitors can come and park right outside his apartment and come right in. Because of COVID, they only allow one family member to come visit at this time. The food is also a lot better here than where he is now. It's a nicer and newer community, and designed with slightly disabled people in mind; where he lives now is just a regular apartment. Everything is well thought out. They don't have any care here, but Right at Home has an office there and you can hire them for an extra cost. They have their own television there and because of COVID, they're doing bingo and things like that on their TVs. They have a movie theater which is closed because of COVID, but they give you a different movie to watch on your TV every night. The staff is very nice, friendly, and helpful. I like that they have a separate counter for all the PPE. It's where you can get gloves, you can get your hands sanitized, your temperature taken, and where you can fill out paperwork. Their front desk is separate from that. They also gave my dad some baked goods that the chef made when he visited; he liked them.

All the staff are friendly and caring. They know the residents and genuinely care about them. The facilities are great and well kept. Great experience!

We feel blessed to live in this beautiful place.

Great place to live!!

My Mom spent the past 2 years at Cahaba Ridge Retirement Community and loved it! We took her out during the COVID-19 quarantine and she has talked about it everyday on how much she misses the people and the fun activities and parties! They had excellent food, which she gained much needed weight. And they loved her just like family. There is no better place for the elderly!

Great place! I love it here! Wonderful staff and residents!

Thank you for all that you and your staff do each day preparing meals for us three times a day, Jay!!!

Many kudos to the staff and J.R. and Tammie Hernandez (our fearless Managers) for the outstanding job they have done, keeping all the seniors protected and entertained during this Coronavirus. They have entertained us and delivered our food to our rooms. They have worked so hard to keep us happy and safe. Thank all of you from all of us.
