Overview of Ridgewood Rehabilitation & Care Center

Facebook Instagram

Ridgewood Rehabilitation & Care Center sits at 624 Pinewood Avenue in Seward, Nebraska, an 82-bed nursing home run by VSL Seward, LLC and administered by Jeanne Schoen. The building is in a moderately walkable stretch of town (Walk Score 61), where a handful of errands are doable without a car. This single building offers many different types of help, including special care for memory, short visits to get better after being sick, and a place for seniors to stay just during the day.

Since nearly nine out of ten beds are usually full, it is clear that many people in the community rely on this center. Some people come for just a few weeks to get strong again after a big surgery, while others move in because they need help from nurses every single day. Because Ridgewood follows special government rules for Medicare, they can provide all the quick help and short breaks that families need in one spot.

The center shows how much it can do through its special area for people who have trouble remembering things; these residents follow a plan made just for their needs. Families who want someone to watch their loved ones while they work can use the day program, which is perfect for those who are not ready to move out of their own homes yet.

The registered nurses spend about 25 minutes with each person every day, while the aides provide about two and a half hours of care, and the other nursing staff give about 43 minutes of their time.

When people come to check the building, they usually look at common things like how medicine is given, how records are kept, and how the center keeps everyone safe from fires or falls. These checks are a normal part of how the government makes sure every nursing home is doing a good job, rather than a sign of a single big problem.

By offering everything from quick rehab to long-term memory care, Ridgewood is designed to help families who are dealing with many different challenges at the same time. This could mean a person stays just long enough to get healthy, or it could be a permanent home for a family member whose mind is starting to change.

Staffing hours Info Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.

Hours per resident per day vs Nebraska 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. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
25m
−42% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 41m per day
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
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. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
2h 31m
−9% State avg: 2h 46m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Info 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.
3h 13m
−11% State avg: 3h 37m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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.
1m
−67% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
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.
