Our read on Nyack Ridge Rehabilitation And Nursing Center

Nyack Ridge runs 160 beds in Valley Cottage under for-profit partnership ownership, and its recent inspection history is the main thing to weigh. The current record shows 38 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 4 tied to abuse, that combination points to real problems with how residents are protected and cared for, not paperwork gaps. The January 2025 inspection is recent enough that these findings reflect how the home operates now. Staffing cuts both ways: 3.32 nurse hours per resident day sits about 14% under the national average, and weekends run roughly 12% below weekdays, though turnover at 27.5% is well under the 45.8% national figure. A $39,130 fine rounds out the record.
