While its overall grade was as bad as it gets, the nursing homes in Ridgeway performed much better in our inspection category. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our higher scores. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with too many severe deficiencies flagged. Surprisingly, we also gave this city a respectable grade of C for our nursing category. In the last two categories, we gave Ridgeway grades of C and D for our short-term care and long-term care categories respectively. Even with an otherwise decent profile, a long-term care grade this poor may be an issue for some people.
