About Us
As you enter Ridgecrest, you will immediately feel something unique here.
There's no institutional feel. No cold, clinical atmosphere. No sense of being just another patient.
Welcoming Atmosphere
Instead, you'll find warmth. Trust. An unmistakable sense of attention to detail. Welcoming smiles. And most importantly, people who genuinely care.
Trust & Care
Nobody chooses to need rehabilitative care. But when that need arises, the environment where healing happens matters profoundly.

Your Dedicated Care Team
Introducing Our Healing Specialists
Jeannette Baltzly
Executive Director
Jessica Rudaitis
Director of Nursing
What sets us apart isn't just our upscale amenities or our spacious rehabilitation facilities—it's our understanding that true healing happens when you feel valued, respected, and genuinely cared for as an individual.
Healing, Heart & Hope
The place real healing begins
We reject the notion that post-acute care must feel institutional. Instead, we've created a space where clinical excellence meets genuine hospitality—where each resident's journey is supported by both advanced medical protocols and the simple human touches that make a place feel like home.
Commitment to You
What we guarantee to you
We make a simple promise to everyone who comes to Ridgecrest Health and Rehab Center: We will care for you like we would care for our own parents. This isn't just a nice sentiment. It drives every decision we make:
Dedicated Care
Our nurses’ clear communication ensures consistent, high-quality care for every resident.
Excellence in Every Detail
When our environmental services team creates spaces that reflect our commitment to excellence in every detail
Celebrating Progress
When our rehabilitation specialists celebrate even small victories in your recovery journey
Personalized Attention
When our administrators know residents by name and take time to sit and truly listen

The staff treated my husband with respect, dignity, and like family.
The staff treated my husband with respect, dignity, and like family. The physical therapists were exceptional! I visited him every day! I recommend if at all possible, don't just put your loved ones anywhere and not visit them because it makes a difference.

Victoria is a dedicated and caring nurse who goes above and beyond what anyone could do.
She treated my uncle with such dedication and empathy. I have no words to express my gratitude for all the love and affection her gave him during his short stay.

"You were all so critical to his recovery and we appreciate you so much!"
My 89 yo father was in this rehabilitation center for 7 weeks. The staff was so kind and caring to my dad. Their concern for his recovery and rehabilitation was very genuine. We received a warm welcome from Lori and Anitra, who helped us get him in. Then, Kieona provided us direction and what we could expect throughout his stay until the last day he left (very helpful!). there. Isaac and the rest of the PT team were very patient and incredible!

"Lori made several phone calls and got it done that day. I am very grateful to her."
My mother has been in Ridgecrest Healthcare for over a year now and has several roommates along the way. Most were good. The most recent roommate was a bit less so. My family made a request to have Mom move and our request was moving quite slow. I reached out to Lori in admissions and explained how critical our request was and why it was urgent.

“I have lived here in Ridgecrest for almost 4 years and they take care of this old onery man very well.”
I would rather be home, but I need the care they give me daily and this id my home now. The staff takes care of me and every resident very well and makes us feel like family. So, if they can take care of this old cantankerous grumpy man this good, they can definitely take care of anyone!
