My mother moved out in November, over 60 days ago, and Riderwood has not refunded the roughly $180,000 she is owed from her deposit. We need that money to pay for her care. Be forewarned if you go here that they will not be transparent, and getting them to follow their contracts is a struggle.

Riderwood is not the place for everyone. With that being said, my biggest complaint is that if you decide to leave you wait over a year to get your deposit back and you loose about 60,000.00. My mother left as we did not think the care was as good in the assisted living as other places could offer. We left. We still do not have her money back. Its been almost a year. This is too long to wait for some and they are stuck. Once you leave, the employees are rude and uncaring. It's a scam beware! Independent living is nice but hope you never need more care because you won't get it there.

I had the chance to visit the place on a number of occasions to see a dear friend. The place is clean and bright and comfortable. People seemed happy.

Yes. Riderwood Village is a Medicare-certified home health agency, so Medicare Part A or Part B pays in full for skilled nursing, therapy and home health aide visits when a doctor orders them and the patient is homebound. There is no copay for covered home health visits. Medicare rates the agency's quality of patient care 3.0 out of 5 stars.
For Medicare to pay, yes: a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant must certify that care is needed and sign a plan of care. Families can call the agency first, and the agency will usually contact the doctor to arrange the order. Ongoing help with bathing, meals and companionship is a different service, non-medical home care, which needs no referral.
Riderwood Village had 3 government inspection visits in the last three years, with 38 citations on file according to CMS Care Compare data. The full history, including what each citation was for and whether it was corrected, is in the inspection section on this page.
