Meeting Your Needs

Ebenezer Ridges Care Center offers two levels of care -- long-term and transitional care -- to best meet your needs. For our long-term care residents who require round-the-clock care and assistance, the Care Center is home.

Both levels of care are designed to help each resident live as independently as he or she is able.

Long Term Care
This option provides skilled care for residents who need daily assistance and ongoing medical attention. Our team of health care professionals evaluates each resident’s physical, psychological, nutritional, spiritual and emotional needs and develops a plan of appropriate care. This plan is designed to help residents achieve and maintain the highest level of independence according to their individual abilities. This includes an opportunity for you to have a Fairview affiliated physician and gerontological nurse practitioner care for you onsite through our Fairview Partners program.

Long-term care services include:

Ebenezer Ridges Intergenerational Day Program

The innovative intergenerational day program not only provides daycare for young children, but also an adult day program for seniors. It creates a safe, caring environment for older adults and children to share activities, have fun and form meaningful relationships. 

Intergenerational activities, such as special holiday programs and arts and crafts projects, are some of the most popular activities on our campus. Residents at the care center are encouraged to participate in as many of our campus-wide intergenerational activities as they are able.

Children in the childcare program think nothing of walkers and wheelchairs as they run to give their favorite “grandma” a hug or climb into the lap of a “grandpa” for story time. And residents can’t resist a smile and a friendly wave when the toddlers make their daily rounds at the care center in their big, plastic stroller.

Service to Make You Smile

Ebenezer employees represent the best of who we are and what we are about. It is our top-notch employees who set us apart from other providers who care for older adults.

They are attentive to the unique needs of each of our residents and go above and beyond to meet those needs every day. They not only care for our residents, but also about them…taking time to stop for a chat or lend an extra hand when it’s needed.

We also recognize the special role family and friends play in the care of our residents. We welcome family members to participate in our monthly family council meetings to share their ideas and suggestions and to attend any of our scheduled events or activities.
