Watch How We Make Your Family Our Family
Hi, I'm Joy,
the Executive Director for Ridgmar Place.
When I started my journey caring for seniors over 40 years ago in 1978, it didn’t take long for me to realize that this wasn’t just a job or a career path. It is a calling. I truly believe we are called to service in senior living, and I am excited to have joined Ridgmar Place.
It is my passion and pleasure to provide the highest quality of service possible to every one of our residents.
Ridgmar Place is where you can feel at home. Our independent living community has endless amenities to keep older adults active and engaged. We have an inspiring team passionate about providing our residents with the highest quality service possible. It’s an honor to be a part of this team.
Making seniors feel a part of the community is my favorite thing. I enjoy dancing and having fun with my team. It’s inspiring to work alongside so many other caring team members.
Thank you for viewing our website and taking an interest in continuing your independence. I can’t wait to welcome you home. Contact us for a tour of senior living in Fort Worth!
Sincerely,
Joy Pepper

Frequent scheduled trips include Fort Worth’s Museum District, listening to jazz at the Downtown Library, playing a round at Topgolf, visiting the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards, exploring Sundance Square, or playing at the WinStar World Casino and Resort.
