Our read on West Ridge Care Center
West Ridge Care Center runs 60 beds in Cedar Rapids under corporate ownership, and the numbers behind its record are worth walking through. Nurse staffing sits at 4.33 hours per resident day, roughly 12% above the national average, though weekends dip about 9% below what the home staffs on weekdays. Turnover is 33.9%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which matters because consistent caregivers tend to know residents' routines. The inspection record is thin: one deficiency total, none at the harm level, none abuse-related, with the most recent survey dated January 29, 2026. For a for-profit home, that combination of low turnover, above-average staffing, and a nearly clean survey history is not typical.
