Our read on Ryze At The Ridge

Ryze At The Ridge runs on 2.17 nurse staffing hours per resident day, roughly 44% below the national average of 3.86, a gap that shows up on weekends too, when coverage dips about 4% below its own weekday level. The inspection record is where it gets harder to look past: 50 deficiencies on file, including 6 at the harm or jeopardy level and 8 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $301,750. The last inspection was August 23, 2024. Turnover sits near the national figure at 44.2%, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hands are scheduled in the first place. For-profit, limited liability ownership.
