Our read on Via Christi Village Ridge

Staffing is this home's strongest number. At 4.47 nurse hours per resident day, it runs about 16% above the national average, and a 38.2% turnover rate sits well below the 45.8% national figure, meaning the people caring for residents tend to stick around. Weekends thin out roughly 11% from weekday coverage, worth asking about if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The trouble sits in the inspection record. Twenty-two deficiencies, two serious enough to involve harm or jeopardy, one tied to abuse, and a $36,040 fine. The most recent inspection was in February 2026. Strong day-to-day care, but a survey history that needs explaining before you sign anything.
