River Ridge Rehab & Care Center offers many care types like assisted living, independent living, memory care, continuing care, nursing homes, home care, respite care, and care homes, and since it serves people 55 and older, it gives support to seniors at many stages. The place is designed for people who need help with daily living, have disabilities, or face health challenges, and there are skilled nurses and therapists who handle both short and long-term care, with specialized therapy programs for things like strokes, fractures, and joint replacements. River Ridge has 100 licensed beds and provides private rehab suites with a homelike touch, keeping people comfortable and feeling safe, and those who need secure care or extra structure, especially memory care residents, can access a secure unit. Telehealth services support extra monitoring, while transport to appointments and lots of daily activities help keep everyone connected. The staff provides 24/7 care and works with residents on personalized plans, doing their best to help people regain independence and go back home when possible, while also supporting those who need ongoing help-plus, River Ridge handles both Medicare and Medicaid.
River Ridge has a modern building with features for comfort and safety, including on-site therapy, but there've been some challenges-inspection reports show a total of 41 deficiencies, and these include issues like not following professional standards for food, not always preventing pressure ulcers, and a couple violations of infection control. During one standard inspection, nine deficiencies came up, including quality of life and care and infection control, with one specifically about pressure ulcer care. Staff retention for nurses sits at 50.7% over 12 months, which is about normal for the state, and nurse hours per resident per day comes in at 3.87, which is a bit below the state average of 4.1. River Ridge is run by Southern Administrative Services, and the community keeps a focus on friendship and a sense of fulfillment, trying to respect elders through personalized care and round-the-clock support, even as there are areas for improvement noted by state inspectors.
