Overview of Ridgewood Rehabilitation & Care Center

Facebook Instagram

Ridgewood Rehabilitation & Care Center is an 82-bed Nursing Home at 624 Pinewood Avenue, Seward, Seward County, Nebraska. Administrated by Jeanne Schoen and owned by VSL Seward, LLC, the facility is Medicare-certified. Ridgewood provides skilled nursing, rehabilitation services, respite care, short-term rehab, and specialized Alzheimer’s and dementia care with adult day care.

Ridgewood serves a mix of short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. Occupancy is 89 percent, above the Nebraska state average of 70.3 percent, with 73 of 82 beds occupied. Strong occupancy indicates solid market demand.

CMS quality rating data is not clearly displayed in the public profile. Overall, Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures ratings are not prominently presented, preventing standard benchmarking against Nebraska averages.

The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health conducted 17 documented inspection visits. The most recent documented inspection occurred June 6, 2019, over six years ago. This complaint investigation documented 71 deficiencies versus the Nebraska average of 52. The report noted compliance with regulations at that time, but the extreme age of the last documented inspection raises serious questions about current regulatory status and whether inspections have occurred since 2019.

Staffing is below average with critical gaps. Registered Nurse hours total 25 minutes per day, 42 percent below the state average of 43 minutes, representing critically low RN coverage. Licensed Practical Nurse hours total 43 minutes per day, at the state average. Certified Nursing Aide hours total 2 hours 31 minutes per day, 9 percent below the state average of 2 hours 46 minutes. Weekend nursing totals 3 hours 13 minutes per day, 11 percent below the state average of 3 hours 37 minutes. Weekend Registered Nurse hours total 22 minutes per day, 24 percent below the state average of 29 minutes, representing critically low weekend RN coverage. Physical Therapist hours total 1 minute per day, 67 percent below the state average of 3 minutes, representing critically low rehabilitation support.

Ridgewood operates as a for-profit community. Revenue, profitability, and payroll details are not disclosed. The 82-bed size represents a mid-to-large facility.

Families should request current inspection reports from the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, and CMS certification status before placement.

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

LPN / LVN Info 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. 43m per day ■ Avg State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

Weekend Total Nursing Info Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends.

Physical Therapist Info Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants.

Weekend RN Info 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. 22m per day ▼ 24% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day
