It was very upsetting to go see my Mom daily to hear the night nurse was mean. Yanked her arm and pushed her in bed a couple of nights. Her back hurt because they would leave her in bed. For three weeks after the physical therapist was done they would just let her lay there. The food was not very good.

I was a resident of Ridge Crest nursing home for about two weeks. I received excellent care from everyone. If I would ever have to go to a nursing home again it will be Ridge Crest. I was a nurse in long term care for numerous years and know how anursing home care goes . I saw residents getting very good care from all staff.

Worst management and care ever. The rooms may look nice. Communication is worse than terrible. Had a family member there, and the daily care was done by myself most of the time. They do what they do best by passing the buck. No one in that facility cares enough to take care of the residents. The administrator does not like confrontation, so none of the problems get addressed. If you have a family member in a nursing home, please check on them. Address the issues! His food was put in his room, even tho he is a choke hazard. Also, the administrator, Frances has the nerve to give the facility a 5 star review. Perhaps he's desperate. 10/2025 Ridgecrest has a new administrator, so hopefully the place becomes a better place for patients.!

My husband was forgotten about here. Sometimes they would forget to bring him meals, never got him out of his bed, yelled at him for asking for help, and tried to abandon him at the hospital. He was paralyzed from the neck down and contracted ecoli from this nursing home and died at age 46. Do not put your loved one here.
