PruittHealth – Ridgeway operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing round-the-clock licensed nursing oversight for individuals who require a higher level of medical attention than is typically available in standard assisted living. Residents receive help with activities of daily living, comprehensive medication management, wound care, and condition monitoring from registered nurses and certified nursing assistants who are on duty 24 hours a day.
In addition to routine skilled nursing, the center offers short-term respite care for families who need a temporary break from caregiving responsibilities, allowing loved ones to stay in a fully staffed environment with the same clinical standards as long-term residents receive. On-site physical therapy is available for rehabilitation after surgery, illness, or injury, delivered in a dedicated therapy space by licensed therapists who coordinate closely with physicians to track progress and adjust treatment plans.
Accommodations include a choice of private and shared rooms designed for safety and ease of mobility, with emergency call systems and barrier-free bathrooms. Outdoor areas give residents supervised access to fresh air, gardening opportunities, and seasonal events; however, not all rooms offer direct views or immediate access to these outdoor spaces, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour.
Dining services feature three daily meals prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian, with menus that can be adapted for low-sodium, diabetic, or other physician-ordered diets. Meals are served restaurant-style in the communal dining room to encourage social interaction, and snacks and beverages are available between meal times for residents who need additional nourishment or prefer flexible eating schedules.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts daily programming, structured arts and crafts workshops, and health and wellness programs focused on maintaining mobility and cognitive engagement. A library and computer lounge provides quiet space for reading, internet use, and family video calls, supporting both leisure and connection with loved ones.
