Our read on Avamere Rehabilitation At Ridgemont

Avamere Rehabilitation at Ridgemont runs 4.02 nurse hours per resident day, about 4% above the national average, and its 43% turnover is slightly better than the typical 45.8%. Those are real positives. The catch is in the details: weekend staffing drops roughly 9% below weekday levels, and the current record carries 34 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and two tied to abuse. State inspectors last visited in September 2025 and rated the home 4 out of 5 on health inspections and quality measures, yet only 2 out of 5 on staffing. That gap, good survey results sitting alongside thin staffing marks and dozens of cited problems, is what keeps this for-profit, limited-liability home in middling territory. Worth a visit and specific questions.
