Overall Review of Family Of Caring Healthcare At Ridgewood

common

Staff care and responsiveness stand out

Residents and families consistently describe staff as caring and responsive.

Across the reviews, people repeatedly mention attentive, friendly staff who take time to help and answer questions. Many describe nurses, aides, therapists, and administration as supportive during recovery, with some families highlighting regular updates and being able to reach staff by phone or in person. A smaller set of reviews is far less positive, citing gaps in communication, delayed follow-through, and not being notified about missed appointments or test results.

common

Rehab therapy supports recovery

Physical and occupational therapy receive frequent praise for helping residents improve.

Many reviewers point to therapy as a key part of their experience, describing PT/OT teams working on mobility, strength, and regaining confidence. Several families also mention support from the broader rehab team, including coordination with nursing and daily therapy progress. One review notes slower start and delayed therapy initiation, tying it to missed timing around an appointment and overall communication issues.

common

Food quality is often mentioned

Residents and visitors often comment on meals and dining quality.

Food comes up in multiple reviews, with some people saying the meals are good or surprisingly good for a healthcare setting. Others mention the kitchen accommodating meal changes and supporting comfort needs. There are also negative outliers, including one review that calls the food horrible and another that links nutrition concerns to declining health.

caveat

Communication varies by experience

Some families report disappointing communication during care.

While many reviewers describe updates and staff availability, a recurring negative theme in the less positive reviews is lack of communication. Reported issues include not being told about missed appointments, delays in follow-up, and not receiving timely notification about test results. In at least one case, the reviewer connects these communication breakdowns to care problems that affected recovery.
