10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Southeast Grove, IN

There's always room for improvement, but overall, especially with the new head of nursing and Director of the facility they did a pretty good job.

My loved one stayed there for only a month, but he seemed to enjoy it a lot. The food was pretty good, but the activities were what made his stay so nice. The CNA and Nurse Staff the work in the ALU are nice and they seem to really care about the people they care for. He liked being able to watch movies with a Movie Club, and spend some time outside on the shaded patio to enjoy the fresh air. It doesn't smell like a nursing home, which is good, but the carpets need to be replaced. Overall, the experience was what I had expected. The rent was affordable, the activities helped pass the time, and the place was clean.

I do think that the staff & everyday workers are very kind, attentive, and professional. Cedarhurst is a beautiful facility, the building itself is beautiful and lovely to look at. My loved one has a good view from their patio, which overlooks the courtyard filled with freshly planted flowers and vegetables. It's very nice. When it comes to communication between the community and our family, the nurses and CNN's are quite good at communicating. I have, however, had some issues with administration. They were supposed to give me a call about something, but they never did. Thankfully I'm very proactive and I was able to take care of the things that were lacking. I'm not saying this to complain as there's no perfect place, but for example: Cedarhurst only has certain contracted hospice facilities that they allow in. The hospice we wanted to use was not allowed in the building and that wasn't communicated with us in the beginning. It's not a big deal because the hospice we ended up using was great, but it still should've been communicated because people typically have personal preferences for that sort of thing. Also, to my knowledge there's no Director of Nursing on-site. There's no office for that person in the building, so I believe she's based out of Corporate. She does visit the building sometimes, but again, she does not have an office in the building where you can directly call her or stop by to visit. I've never had to communicate with someone through email only, but that's how it is here. She can't be reached by phone, you have to send a message so that you can be contacted via email. I tried to leave a message for her to call me once and that didn't go too well. This may be a transitional thing, because there was a Director of Nursing in the building previously. But I again, used my persistence to overcome those communication issues. These are all things I've expressed to them, and every issue I've had has been resolved well. It just took a bit longer, which is ok because no place is perfect. Overall I would recommend Cedarhurst of Dyer to others
