What this means for your family

Cedar Ridge Inn has a dedicated activity team and helpful administrative staff for paperwork, which can be a significant asset. However, families must be vigilant regarding medical care; please conduct frequent, unannounced visits to monitor for skin integrity and ensure that the care plan aligns with your loved one's medical needs, especially if they are terminal.

Cedar Ridge Inn has faced persistent problems across multiple areas, with families filing complaints that triggered inspections. The facility has struggled most with fire safety and building compliance, medication management, and wound care (including two complaint-based pressure ulcer violations). While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of recurring issues across four surveys spanning 2022-2025 suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully consider.
