Sandy Ridge Center For Rehabilitation And Healing

Sandy Ridge Center For Rehabilitation And Healing holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, meaning it performs above average compared to other nursing facilities nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, each measuring something different about how the facility operates. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, which reflects fewer or less serious citations during state inspections - a good sign that the facility is generally meeting safety and care standards. The quality measures rating is also 4 stars, meaning resident health outcomes like wound care, mobility, and other clinical indicators tend to be better than most facilities. These two areas give families reasonable confidence in the day-to-day care environment. The one area worth a closer look is staffing, which sits at 2 stars, or below average. This rating is based on how many hours of nursing care residents receive relative to the number of people living there. Lower staffing levels can sometimes mean residents wait longer for assistance, or nurses have less time to spend with each person. It does not automatically indicate poor care, but it is a practical concern worth asking about during a tour - specifically how many residents each nurse or aide typically cares for on a given shift. Taken together, Sandy Ridge shows real strengths in inspection results and health outcomes, but families should go in with open eyes about staffing levels and ask the facility directly how they manage it.
