About Locust Ridge Nursing and Rehabilitation
Locust Ridge Nursing and Rehabilitation is a 61-bed skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Williamsburg, Ohio. The community serves residents requiring post-acute rehabilitation and ongoing medical care, with a 4.2-star rating across 58 family reviews.
Families consistently highlight the attentiveness of nursing staff and clinical care. Several reviews describe meaningful recovery outcomes, one resident transitioned from a wheelchair and feeding tube to an assisted living facility, while others praise nurses by name for clinical skill and compassion during therapy, hospice, and recovery phases. The administrative team draws specific recognition for managing financial paperwork and Medicare navigation. One family noted, "the staff and residents are very close. It is like a little family," reflecting a smaller facility where residents know their caregivers.
Not all experiences align uniformly. A minority of reviews report inconsistent staff responsiveness and suggest the facility's physical presentation differs from online photos. One family expressed frustration with gaps in daily care tasks, while another noted variability among staff attitudes. Families who had positive experiences often highlighted specific caregivers and the administrator's communication efforts.
With a 4.2-star rating, Locust Ridge shows strong clinical outcomes and staff dedication according to most families, though prospective residents should visit in person to assess both the environment and the consistency of care they would receive.

My Neighbor admitted to Locust Ridge on my recommendation and the staff went above and beyond with his care and mental well-being. They were extremely attentive to all his needs financially and medically. Kudos to Kim in the Business Office for promptly getting his financial situation straightened out and to Ashley the Social Worker for being prompt to be his advocate making sure his afterlife needs were prepared and followed to his wishes. All the Nurses, STNA's, and Dietary Staff did amazing and truly cared about him, which is very rare these days. I couldn't recommend Locust Ridge enough for Nursing Home Placement.
