This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 23% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 20 findings, above the MO average of 12.0. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Apple Ridge Care Center receives polarized feedback, with some families praising the friendly staff and clean environment, while others report severe neglect and hygiene issues. While some visitors appreciate the facility's scenic location and welcoming atmosphere, serious concerns regarding cleanliness and staff responsiveness have been raised by family members of residents.

Key Review Excerpts
“We were able to share tasty meals together. We observed some of the planned activities they had for the residents. Most that could, participated and had a good time.”
“I went there for the first time and was pleasantly surprised to see the organization/decorating cute/clean and to have someone greet me up front/individual playing guitar and singing to residents at the entry way.”
“The place totally smells like urine each time I was there. The staff rude and lazy. One day I was there he was totally laying in urine and had soiled sheets on the floor that someone was too lazy to pick up.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
