Program History:

North Ridge was founded by Charles P. Thompson and Dr. James J. Pattee. Under their direction and foresight, North Ridge Care community, (the nuring home has 495 beds) serving the needs of the elderly. This commitment to seniors was passed on to the second generation of owners - Charles Thompson and Mindy Pattee. In March, 1999, Minnesota Masonic Home purchased North Ridge Care Center.
