A Galloway Ridge Resident's Experience
reviewed on: 08/07/2018 by Jim CWe have been residents at Galloway Ridge for three years and two months. For us, living here has been a mixed blessing, but all the negatives are with the inevitable process of aging, not with Galloway Ridge which has performed in an exemplary manner. We have extensive experience in attempting to live as normal a life as possible when a chronic disease progresses in an inexorable pace, finally leading to a move to assisted living in skilled nursing a couple of months ago. My wife has had Parkinson’s Disease (PD) for 15 years, and the disease has made her less and less independent with time. We moved to Galloway Ridge at 12 years of PD after she became largely disabled (details aren’t necessary here), and I (her husband of 54 years) found it necessary to hire home care personnel to assist me in caring for her. This evolved into 5 days per week, typically 6 or 7 hours/day (while still in Independent Living). I believe there was justification for requesting that she live in Assisted Living after the first year, but we both were committed to maintaining her independent life style as long as possible. Recently she choked on food and was taken to an emergency room and hospital, and it was clear that upon discharge from the hospital, she would require advanced care. She was admitted to the Galloway Ridge Arbor and skilled nursing, where she receives 24 hr/day care. In short, we have experience with the full range of service at Galloway Ridge. The transfer to the Arbor was an amazing process and experience that is worth telling. Realize that we had established relationships with Galloway Ridge staff and felt comfortable communicating with them. As my wife lay in the hospital, I came to the realization that she would require at least some time in skilled nursing upon discharge from the hospital. I called the social worker at Galloway Ridge and explained our situation. She told me to contact the case worker at the hospital and to request a transfer to the Galloway Ridge Arbor. That was all it took! At the hospital’s recommendation, she was transported to Galloway Ridge by ambulance. When I arrived (a few minutes after her), she was comfortably situated in a new apartment in the Arbor, with very thorough care and assistance. I visit her two to three times a day, and have had many opportunities to observe the level of care she has received. In my opinion, the nursing staff is exceptional, and the services are comprehensive. It pains me to see the consequences of Parkinson’s Disease, but it is especially comforting to observe the exceptional level of care she is receiving. Frankly, the quality of care is so exceptional, it is in complete contrast to what some reviewers have reported on this website. It is worth commenting on the whole CCRC experience (and Galloway Ridge in particular). The senior(s) and their family must take the lead in establishing the daily life experience in their new residence. Certainly there are introductory interviews and assistance, but the CCRC basically provides quality facilities and physical environment (and the opportunity to participate in many activities), but the residents must make many daily choices. There is a tradeoff in protecting privacy and independence of the residents, versus directing their life style and care. The residents and their family are responsible for seeking out services and making critical choices. The staff at the CCRC (Galloway Ridge in particular) is here to help, but their role is not to control your life. If a resident becomes highly dependent, then the appropriate level of care will be recommended, but the resident and family must make the essential decisions and actions. Given an appropriate level of resident and family engagement, life at Galloway Ridge can be a wonderful experience with many opportunities for fulfillment and optimal health. Finally, it would seem appropriate to offer a view regarding expenses at Galloway Ridge. We analyzed the costs before choosing Galloway Ridge, and have generally experienced that the costs are in line with the benefits received. Of course it would be less expensive if one “stayed at home”, but frankly that trivializes the task of maintaining and managing a CCRC and assuring continuity with quality staffing over the years. The management at Galloway Ridge and the very active Residents Council (which contributes to governance) does a very good job. That is one reason why occupancy here is close to 100%. It is a very nice place and community in which to retire.
Downsized But LIving an Expanded Lifestyle
reviewed on: 08/08/2018 by Sue B.My husband and I believe that life at Galloway Ridge (GR) has met our expectations and gone beyond. The outdoor activity options, as well as the cultural and creative arts programs are exceptional and enabled us to develop a new range of skills and experiences. Because of this, we believe that GR offers residents a true "value added" model without a constant stream of extra charges. Instead of feeling like our life got smaller after we down sized our home, the exact opposite has become the reality . My husband and I enjoy the simplicity of apartment living, yet our new life style has freed up time to partake in friendships and activities at GR, in the extended Fearrington Village community and in near by towns like Chapel Hill, Durham , Raleigh, Apex and Cary. Nothing feels too far away even though we live in a beautiful country setting. Galloway Ridge living has been the ideal retirement choice for us.
Amazing culture.

Why we chose Galloway Ridge
reviewed on: 08/08/2018 by Flo PhillipsMy husband and I began looking for a CCRC when we turned 70. We were both healthy, active and engaged in our community. Some of our friends were beginning to do the same thing but many were shocked that we were going this route. Our search took almost eight years. We actually looked at 6 different CCRCs. When we visited Galloway Ridge we knew we had found the right place for us. When we get asked what convinced us we had made the right decision, we give several reasons, but the main ones are: -Access to great medical service through both Duke and UNC Hospital systems --Located in a great location for continuous learning opportunities --Planned monthly activities in and outside Galloway Ridge --Proffessional, knowledgeable, friendly staff --Beautiful facility and grounds, surrounded by trails and gardens so residents can be close to nature. --Beautiful exercise and fitness center with expert trainers and counsels. --Last but not least, wonderful, interesting residents that have become like family.
Great community
