Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.

Date:December 18, 2025
140 deficiencies
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Inspection Report Summary for Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community
The most recent inspection on January 21, 2022 found no deficiencies and confirmed the facility was in compliance with all regulations. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident care, including inconsistent bathing and restorative nursing, medication storage and labeling, infection control, and food storage issues. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated, with no enforcement actions, fines, or license suspensions listed in the available reports. Earlier enforcement remedies were imposed in 2014 and 2015 related to pressure ulcer care, but more recent inspections indicate these issues were addressed. The facility appears to have improved over time, correcting prior deficiencies and maintaining compliance in the latest survey.
