Our read on Ridgewood Health Services, Inc.
Ridgewood Health Services in Jasper runs 98 certified beds under individual for-profit ownership, and its staffing sits right at the national average, 3.89 nurse hours per resident day against 3.86 nationally. That headline number hides a real gap: weekends run about 19% leaner than weekdays, and annual turnover is 49.3%, higher than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections tell a quieter story. The home carries just two deficiencies on its current record, none involving harm or abuse, though the last full inspection was January 2020, over five years ago. Quality measures score well, staffing holds a solid rating, and there's nothing alarming in the record. The question worth asking is what that weekend coverage actually looks like on the floor.
