Memory Care
The quality of the building itself and the care really stood out to our family. The friendliness of the staff members is a 5+, we aren't to sure on the meals but everything in regards to the activities has been pretty good so far.
I felt that the staff relieved a lot of stress from the first interview. They reassured us that this is what they do, what their staff is trained to do; care for my loved one, in my case in memory care. There was always the question in my mind 'Should I be trying to do this care myself?' I am NOT trained to do it, so am most thankful there are compassionate, wonderful people who are. During the transport process, a non-emergency medical transport, the staff stayed in contact until they pulled up to the front doors, and greeted them with smiles. I have been included every step of the way and again, reassured that it would be figured out, if I didn't have an immediate answer to a particular question. I have eaten with my mother a few times now and the food has been very good. The meals were delicious, balanced, and presented in a visually pleasing way. I would definitely recommend CedarStone Senior Living to others. It is a colorful, joyful place with a wonderful, joyful staff.
Some of the staff members are absolutely amazing, and some are difficult. The activities are pretty good, they do keep our loved one busy, and help keep her in a routine. Some care givers really tune into what she needs and likes, for example she enjoys keeping busy with chores, so they will have her wipe down the tables and set the tables herself.
