Family of Caring Healthcare at Ridgewood is a 98-bed skilled nursing facility in Ridgewood, New Jersey, set about half a mile from the center of town in Bergen County. The community is privately owned and operated by Family of Caring Healthcare at Ridgewood, LLC, and is administered by Mary Robin Magher. It offers nursing home, assisted living, hospice, respite, and skilled nursing services, giving families several levels of care under one roof. It accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which opens a few different paths for covering both short-term rehab and longer-term stays.
The facility currently runs at 90 percent occupancy, with 88 of its 98 beds filled. Its rehabilitation lineup is a particular strength, including post-surgical rehab therapy, orthopedic services, and a proprietary Connect™ Cardiac/Pulmonary program for residents recovering from heart or lung issues. A dedicated stroke recovery track and a Transition to Home program support residents working toward returning to independent living, while a Transitional Care/Rapid Recovery pathway is built for shorter post-acute stays. Total nursing care averages 3 hours and 33 minutes per resident each day, with a registered nurse contributing 1 hour and 17 minutes of that time.
Beyond clinical care, the home also provides hospice services and a restorative nursing program for residents with more complex or ongoing needs. Daily life includes wireless internet access, full-service beauty and barber services, weekly manicures, and programming designed for visually impaired residents, along with large-screen movie viewing for group entertainment. Residents also receive daily newspaper delivery.
State inspections of the home have most often centered on themes like environmental conditions, medication management, and documentation accuracy, alongside occasional findings tied to infection control and staffing practices. The surrounding area is moderately walkable, with a Walk Score of 53, meaning some errands can be handled on foot while most trips call for a car.
Family Of Caring Healthcare At Ridgewood is administered by Ms. Mary Robin Magher.
