12 complaint-triggered
$34,646 in fines

Summit Ridge has a concerning pattern of families filing complaints that triggered 12 deficiencies, including serious issues with resident protection from abuse and neglect occurring multiple times. The facility struggles most with safety systems (fire alarms, emergency power), resident care planning, and infection control, with these problems recurring across surveys. While the facility corrects identified issues, the repeat complaints about fundamental resident protection and the high volume of deficiencies (49 total) suggest ongoing operational challenges that warrant careful evaluation during any visit.
