One-to-one comparison

THE LODGE AT VALLEY RIDGE

This lovely community is ideal for a variety of people. The easy accessibility to the golf course is ideal for those who want to get out on the links several times a week. There's even a ski hill nearby.

The community also offers a variety of care to accommodate couples with varying levels of need. Couples where one spouse requires assistance with some activities of daily living, while the other spouse remains independent, will be able to remain together under one roof.

CAMBRIDGE MANOR

As soon as it opened, Cambridge Manor began generating suitably enthusiastic feedback from families and seniors. That’s no surprise, given that it’s part of the Brenda Strafford Foundation, an organization focused on research-backed innovation and care. Its setting in the University of Calgary’s intergenerational project adds an extra layer of exciting innovation. And then, for all its progressiveness, this community excels most of all in providing the evergreen need of care for our beloved seniors.

THE LODGE AT VALLEY RIDGE

I have lived at The Lodge at Valley Ridge since June 2019. I highly recommend this Lodge. This Lodge has been keeping us safe from Covid. None here. The staff has been friendly and kind to me on all fronts. Always greeting us with a kind word and a friendly smile. It is immaculately clean. Now about the dining room. The food is so good and we have choices on our daily menu. Eat as much or as little as you wish. We can sit where and with whom we wish. I recommend it to every one who wants to know what it’s like here call to make an appointment to have a tour. you’ll see for yourself. [submitted April 2020]

I am happy to live here, excellent and friendly staff. Clean environment and delicious food.

The Lodge at Valley Ridge is exceptional and customer service is amazing. You can ask any of the staff for help and they will be right there for you with no complaints. Everyone is friendly and interesting to talk to. It feels like the staff will bend over backwards to help you and it's wonderful. I should have moved here five years earlier.

I have no trouble giving accolades to The Lodge, as for the past four years that I have lived here I have told anyone who cares to listen, that if I have to be anywhere without my wife, this is the place. I lived just across the golf course for 24 years and watched The Lodge being built. I always thought that it enhanced the neighbourhood and made the Valley Ridge Community one that catered from the cradle to the grave. Since I have lived here, I have been treated by management and all the staff with respect, courtesy, and friendliness. Nothing seems too much trouble and I am made to feel completely at home. All aspects of life in the Lodge leaves nothing to be desired, from room cleanliness, nursing assistance, building maintenance and laundry, everything is first class, and the food service, quality and selection leaves absolutely nothing to be desired, and the life enrichment programmes are entertaining and educational as well as being fun. I feel very fortunate to be here.

In 2017, when my husband and I found it necessary to move on and find ourselves a place to call home for the next chapter of our lives, we searched the Internet and came up with several prospects. I made appointments to view some sites, and on the list was the Lodge at Valley Ridge. I remembered having a tour a few years before, with my brother and his wife. We wanted Independent living, and the Lodge hit all the right notes. We arranged a time, toured the two-bedroom suites, and were invited to have lunch. We did so, the food was excellent, the service and servers, more than we could hope for. We returned home, thought it over and made our decision. We chose our home here and would recommend our experience to others.
