Overview of Family of Caring Healthcare at Ridgewood

Family of Caring Healthcare at Ridgewood is a 98-bed skilled nursing facility in Ridgewood, New Jersey, privately owned and operated by Family of Caring Healthcare at Ridgewood, LLC. The community is located half a mile from the center of Ridgewood in Bergen County and accepts Medicare with 24-hour nursing coverage.

CMS rates the facility 4 stars overall, with a Health Inspection sub-rating 39% above the New Jersey average — the component driving the overall score. The staffing sub-rating also performs above the state benchmark, though nurse staffing averages 3 hours and 33 minutes per resident per day, modestly below New Jersey’s average of 3 hours and 55 minutes. Quality Measures are slightly under the state average.

Since 2020, the facility has completed eight inspections and recorded 32 total deficiencies — a rate of 8.8 per year compared with the New Jersey average of 5.2, roughly 69% higher. The 2023 recertification cycle was the heaviest, producing 14 and 10 citations respectively across two surveys, with findings spread across infection control, staffing documentation, and life-safety code items. The May 2025 routine inspection cited six deficiencies involving environmental conditions, medication management, and documentation accuracy. The most recent visit in November 2025 found no deficiencies. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were recorded.

The facility’s occupancy rate is 90%, above the New Jersey average of 77%, and has trended upward since 2020. The facility’s rehabilitation lineup is well-developed. Programs include subacute rehabilitation, orthopedic services, a proprietary Connect™ Cardiac/Pulmonary program, stroke recovery, and a Transitional Care/Rapid Recovery track. Memory care, respite care, and hospice are also offered. Amenities include beauty and barber services, weekly manicures, programming for visually impaired residents, and large-screens for watching movies.

While Family of Caring Healthcare at Ridgewood could serve post-acute residents in Bergen County seeking short-term rehabilitation before returning home, its higher deficiency levels warrant closer review when considering longer-term placement.

1 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric Physical Therapist is +298% above state avg

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	1h 17m per day	▲ 87% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	41m per day	▼ 27% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 37m per day	▲ 17% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	4h 18m per day	▲ 25% State avg: 3h 27m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.	24m per day	▲ 298% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	1h 8m per day	▲ 134% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day
