Cedar Ridge Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits over in Pilot Point, TX, and the place has 108 certified beds and helps about 81 people each day on average, so you've got a fair amount of folks living there even though it never feels too packed, and those numbers mean you'll see both new faces and staff around often, which a lot of people seem to like, especially since the staff's known for being caring and doing their best to support everyone in both medical needs and the everyday stuff that comes with living there. With a whole range of services on offer like skilled nursing, long-term care, rehab, wound management, memory care, and even telemedicine, you'll see them try to help people with different problems-be it short stays or folks who need to make it their home for longer, and there's special help for people with Alzheimer's or memory troubles. The team who works there is trained and handles each resident with an individual care plan, which is probably why some families say nice things about how the staff handles the emotional side of care and tries to keep people feeling at ease in the setting, and the place even has pet-friendly policies, so you might see dogs or cats here and there, something that's gotten a thumbs up from quite a few people.
Now, like any other place, there've been issues-Cedar Ridge has had 27 total deficiencies found in inspections, including five about infections, and there've been citations for not always keeping the environment as homelike or clean as it should be, and for not making sure residents are free from restraints unless truly needed for medical reasons, so those are things you ought to know if you care about safety and comfort, but staff turnover is a bit lower than average, with nurse turnover at 43.4% compared to the state's 51.8%, which some will see as a good sign. They keep nurses on staff all hours and the nurse-to-resident hours are about average for Texas, so there will usually be someone around for care, plus they offer admissions 24/7, making it easier for people who need help at odd times. The facility is run by Nexion Health Leasing, Inc. since 2020 and Nexion Health is involved in other states, so they stick to their own rules and procedures, and it's a for-profit business, operating as an LLC, so it's not owned by a local family or church group. Some awards and community praise mention that Cedar Ridge does a good job with things like professional services and that they offer activities and amenities to help residents pass the time, though some of these programs and activities might depend on what staff are available and the needs of each resident. Overall, the staff focuses on helping people maintain as much wellness and independence as they can, tailoring the plans to each person, and they try to make the facility feel comfortable and homey, but every place has its strengths and its weak spots, so it helps to visit and see if it feels right for what you or your loved one needs.
