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.

East Ridge Retirement Village Inc stands out when it comes to how much nursing attention residents receive each day. Registered nurses here provide about 1.40 hours per resident each day, which is nearly three times the Florida average of just 0.52 hours. That difference is meaningful in practice: it means a trained RN is more likely to be nearby if something changes with your loved one's health, rather than stretched thin across a large number of residents. Total nurse hours, which includes RNs alongside licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants, come in at 3.97 hours per resident per day, just a bit above the Florida average of 3.87 hours. So while the overall hands-on care time is fairly typical compared to other Florida senior care facilities, the higher RN presence is what really sets this facility apart and may give families some added peace of mind, especially if their loved one has complex medical needs.

East Ridge Retirement Village Inc. has a solid 4-out-of-5-star health inspection rating, which puts it above average compared to many facilities. There is one government penalty on record, with a fine of $8,788, most recently issued in January 2025. A single penalty does not automatically signal a pattern of problems, but families should ask the facility directly about what led to that citation and what steps were taken to fix it. Overall, the inspection history here is relatively clean, and the strong star rating suggests the facility is generally meeting care standards.
