West Ridge Care Center Description
Whether you are looking for short-term rehabilitation or long-term care, one visit to West Ridge and you’ll see the difference our philosophies and treatment can make. Since opening in 1992, West Ridge has established itself as one of the finest nursing care facilities in the area.
West Ridge is a privately owned, single entity facility. We host 52 single private rooms that each include WiFi and a flat screen TV, along with the other available amenities.
We recognize from the beginning that private rooms provide a much more comfortable and home-like environment for our Elders and their families. Private rooms can help alleviate some of the anxiety that typically occurs when a person requires the services of a nursing care facility.
