    Review

    The collection of experiences at Ridgeview Post Acute Rehabilitation Center paints a complex and often emotional picture. On the one hand, there are many reports that praise improvements, easy interactions, and caring teams, suggesting that progress and positive moments are very much part of the day-to-day reality for some residents and their families. Several reviews highlight a sense of warmth and helpfulness from staff, smooth coordination of activities, and a perception that leadership and caregivers are genuinely invested in residents' well-being. For example, some visitors note that they feel supported by the therapy team, that the facility has "wonderful caring staff," and that there are meaningful activities available for residents to join. They describe experiences where staff respond to questions, assist with needs, and contribute to a generally positive atmosphere during visits or shifts.

    Amid the praise, however, are deeply troubling accounts that raise serious concerns about safety, responsiveness, and quality of care. One account describes a nightmarish incident in which a relative was in a bed without railings, fell, and potentially sustained a punctured lung from a broken rib; the reviewer laments that the person did not go to the hospital promptly and learned much later that the resident had died. The writer emphasizes that they believe a hospital transfer did not occur in a timely way, and the family later learned of the grave outcome. This account frames the facility as an environment with potentially fatal safety gaps, and it latches onto the distressing detail that a family member attributes the tragedy to inadequate safeguards.

    Another strongly negative review catalogs a cascade of neglectful conditions: a resident who had an arm amputation was left waiting for meals and was not fed promptly; another day began with the resident still in bed and no breakfast when visits started. The writer recounts a troubling pattern of unfulfilled basic needs and slow or absent response to hunger and hygiene. Tensions rise when a family member reports rough treatment by two CNAs, including one threatening to forcibly move him and another pairing with a witness in the room. The review culminates in a dramatic assertion that the facility should be shut down, accompanied by the sentiment that residents deserve advocacy and that the photos on the website do not reflect reality. The date provided (9/7/25) underscores the emphasis on a recent, ongoing concern.

    There are also strongly critical voices about the overall environment and maintenance of the facility. Some reviewers describe the facility as dirty, old, and not properly maintained, with unfurnished or poorly executed care routines for dementia or Alzheimer's patients. Complaints include dirty dining areas, foul odors, and a perceived lack of licensed nurses or attentive supervision. Instances are cited where residents failed to receive timely meals, were left unbathed for extended periods, or sat in feces because call lights were not answered. The sentiment from these reviews is that the care is inconsistent at best and neglectful at worst, and that staff may be distracted or unresponsive in ways that place residents at risk.

    Yet the picture is not uniformly dark. Other reviewers praise the facility for decency in certain shifts or units, noting that the staff can be attentive and helpful even when broader concerns exist. Several entries describe positive interactions with dining staff, housekeeping, and dietary services, as well as with therapy teams and management when problems were raised. A number of comments lauding the memory care and therapy teams emphasize hands-on support and patient-focused care, sometimes mentioning specific individuals or roles - like the DON, Mary, who is described as highly skilled and caring - who contribute to a strong sense of trust in the care provided. There are also acknowledgments of improvements, successful activity programs, and appreciation for administrators who appear to be listening and resolving issues in a timely manner.

    Across the board, the narratives reflect a facility that can deliver exceptional care in some circumstances while failing to meet basic safety and comfort expectations in others. Positive remarks often center on responsiveness, compassionate staff, and meaningful activities, with particular gratitude toward the therapy teams and nursing leadership in some accounts. Negative remarks highlight a lack of basic care, unsafe conditions, and a disconnect between what is promised online and what some families experience in reality. The recurring themes include the importance of proper bed safety, timely meals, attentive staffing, and strong supervision, especially for residents with dementia or post-operative needs, and the need for transparent, consistent communication with families about care plans and incidents.

    Ultimately, the collection presents a facility that evokes strong loyalty and trust in some families and sharp condemnation in others. Several reviews call for recognition of the good work being done by dedicated staff, while others demand accountability and significant changes to address safety concerns, hygiene, and the adequacy of medical and daily living care. The stories suggest that Ridgeview Post Acute Rehabilitation Center contains both bright moments of compassionate care and alarming episodes that require urgent attention to ensure every resident's safety, dignity, and well-being. As families navigate these mixed experiences, the common thread remains: the need for reliable staffing, accountable leadership, and a consistently safe environment where all residents can feel secure and well cared-for.
