Great!
I have been at Sunny Ridge for four years. My rooms are larger than most I have seen in other facilities. Our Meeting Room is such an asset for church services, concerts, or family gatherings. We enjoy our Library and other amenities. My fellow residents are friendly and caring. Our staff is great!
