What this means for your family

Beacon Ridge has a strong reputation for its rehab therapy team and engaging daily activities, which many families appreciate. However, because there are serious, recurring reports of neglect regarding hygiene and toileting, we strongly advise you to conduct unannounced visits during weekends or evenings to verify the quality of care firsthand.

Key Review Excerpts

My mom was left sitting in her briefs filled with bm for 6 hours straight! I had to report it to the ombudsman

Family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

The only bright spot was the good care he received from the wonderful nurses and aides!

Family member · 2025☆☆☆☆

My uncle has been a resident at Beacon Ridge for a little over two years now. We are very pleased with the care that he receives. The staff is always polite and helpful, we have treatment plan meetings every quarter and any concerns that we have are always addressed quickly.

Beacon Ridge has 51 deficiencies across three surveys with recurring issues in medication management, quality care, and fire safety systems that persist across all inspections. Problems include medication errors, inadequate treatment planning, accident hazards, and fire safety equipment failures. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated issues in core care areas suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should investigate further.
