The Ridgecrest Owls

 

Our mascot and newsletter logos have different types of owls depicting the holidays and seasons of the current month.  

This is because owls are associated with wisdom

and intelligence as well as being keepers of sacred knowledge. 

​

Once you spend a little time at Ridgecrest it is easy to see that our residents are wise, intelligent, have much life experience, and many memories to share.

Throughout the year our Community Partners are presented with

special recognition for their generosity towards our residents,  

"THE OWL" Award.   

 

THE OWL stands for

Thank you for Helping to Enhance Our Wonderful Lives!
