East Ridge Retirement Village Inc

East Ridge Retirement Village Inc. earns an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and places it much above average compared to other facilities nationwide. That top-line number is a composite of three separate ratings, so it's worth knowing where the facility shines and where there's a little more to consider. On health inspections, it scores 4 out of 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems than most facilities - a good sign that day-to-day operations and care practices are generally well-run. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, reflecting strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and how well residents maintain their physical functioning. That's the kind of real-world result families care most about. The one area to have a conversation about is staffing, which comes in at 2 out of 5 stars, meaning nurse hours per resident are below average. This doesn't necessarily mean care is poor - the excellent quality measures score suggests residents are still doing well - but it does mean staff may be stretched thinner than at comparable facilities. If your loved one has complex medical needs or requires a lot of hands-on attention, it's worth asking the facility directly about staffing levels on specific shifts and how they manage during busy periods. Overall, this is a high-performing facility, but the staffing number is worth keeping in mind as you make your decision.
