West Ridge Specialty Care Earns Deficiency Free Survey

West Ridge Specialty Care recently celebrated a deficiency free state survey and recognized their team members for their commitment to quality care.

A deficiency free survey means state surveyors found zero deficiencies during their annual inspection and confirmed that West Ridge Specialty Care is meeting or exceeding all state and federal requirements in the areas of resident care, services, and environment. This designation is rare and comes after a rigorous process where state agencies conduct unannounced surveys, often over the course of several days, to observe resident care, review records, and interview residents, family members, and team members.

"To achieve a deficiency free survey takes a collective effort and truly reflects this team's dedication to providing high-quality, compassionate care," said Jessica McDyer, Chief Operating Officer for Care Initiatives, the nonprofit owner of West Ridge Specialty Care. "This result demonstrates a strong commitment to ensuring residents feel safe, supported, and engaged every day."

West Ridge Specialty Care is licensed to provide quality care to up to 78 residents, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Serving individuals from Marion County, Iowa, and surrounding communities, the dedicated team at West Ridge Specialty Care provides residents with an active and engaging quality of life through daily programming, social and educational activities, and services that promote physical health, provide mental stimulation, and support overall well-being in a home-like environment.
