Key Review Excerpts
“My mother had a great experience at Ridgeview as did the rest of my family when helping care for her. The nurses were kind and you could tell that they really looked out for her.”
“Constantly telling the nurse that residents have open sores on there bottom they don't care about it and don't do nothing about.”
“They left my Wife laying in her pee for OVER AN HOUR! And then after i called to complain they actually went into her room and told her ' if your husband wants you cleaned up so fast, tell him to do it himself!'”

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has a concerning pattern of repeated deficiencies across multiple care areas, with most violations stemming from family complaints about care quality. The most frequent problems involve resident rights violations (including dignity and safe living conditions), infection control failures, and nutrition/dietary issues. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the facility continues to struggle with similar issues across surveys, including two recent cases of abuse/neglect protection failures in 2024 and 2025, suggesting ongoing systemic problems that families should carefully evaluate.
