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.
Staffing hours breakdown
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.
| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 25m per day | ▼ 42% State avg: 43m 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.
| 43m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 43m 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 31m per day | ▼ 9% State avg: 2h 46m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 per day | ▼ 11% State avg: 3h 37m 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.
| 1m per day | ▼ 67% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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 |
