Cedar Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center

I'm happy with Cedar Ridge and would definitely recommend the facility to others. The food is great. The staff and housekeeping are exceptional. The move in was easy and communication is great.

It was a good experience. We picked this community because of the rooms and layout were cozy and clean, staff was attentive and welcoming. Convenience, closest to our home. I would recommend to others.

My mother was very blessed to find a "best friend" her 1st day there. Staff added my mother to her friend's dining table and would sit them by each other in visiting areas. My only concern, which is a major one, is that the nursing staff was lax on determining when a significant medical condition was going on with my mother. I was always the one to see that she was "off" and needed emergency care. The nurses always dismissed her behavior as "she's tired as she was up a lot last night." I'm talking things like major urinary track infection which landed her in the hospital and a stroke. Hence, I'm glad I could go by often and check on her. (She passed away after the stroke.) I noticed that another resident that was generally physically very robust usually, was not around and was told that she had had a fall. A couple of days later I saw the person her family had coming in to look after her many times a week, pushing her down the hall in a wheelchair. The resident looked deflated and in pain. Her helper said that the resident still had not had her leg/hip x-rayed after her fall. They were still waiting for the x-ray group to come to Cedar Ridge. I suggested that the resident needed to go to the ER. The helper called the resident's family and I noticed that an ambulance came for her. That being said, when covid hit Cedar Ridge, and my mother had it, the staff was excellent in taking care of my mother. She had someone with her 24/7. The 2 people rotating taking care of Mother would connect her to me with zoom calls often and I was kept informed on how she was.

My mom is a resident at Cedar Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center and her experience at this facility has been good. They are excellent at this facility, mom has been here for almost one year. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. They offer balanced meals and snacks throughout the day. Even the coordinators are awesome and are very sweet to the residents. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

My loved one was a resident at Cedar Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center for a short time. Everything was very good for him at this facility. I chose this facility because of its proximity to my residence. I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

That they genuinely care about the overall care of the residents.

This was a very poor experience for us. The community didn't bath my loved one, they didn't pay attention to them, or give them medication. The worst of all was [name removed], wouldn't give another evaluation to my love one. Once we went to go back to get my loved one's items out a couple days later, the community let another resident move in immediately without permission. I am so unhappy with the lack of disregard of my family and loved one by the community.

The facility itself is a very nice for someone that is aging, also we are very impressed with the longevity of the staff members there. Everyone who works there has been there for forever. It is just the perfect place for our mom.

The community is competent and friendly. The staff was very good to work with if I had some questions over my loved one. Our time at the community was during the pandemic. I can't think of anything I would change about the community.

It is strictly a memory care facility and they were great at redirecting her attention when needed. They do not have an RN on staff at all times, the ones on staff 24/7 are LVNs. The administrative staff was wonderful, always very accessible. Their activity coordinator was great, she facilitated many great things for the residents to do. She did really enjoy the food that was served here. I would tell others to make sure that your loved one has comfortable clothing and do not bring anything expensive in here. I would recommend them to others looking.

This is the place we first visited last year, and both of [name removed] children and I did not get a good impression- It may have been because it was the first one I saw. Nevertheless, my impression of visiting yesterday was very favorable. They have a small community, something I have to think about, as I know he needs a great deal of stimulation. I was told they have live music a couple of times per week. I was well impressed with the layout of the place. [name removed] may have ample space to move around. They have a variety of activities, but I am not sure if they are appropriate for men. I got the impression they were more for women. I will visit again to clarify and asked specific questions about exercises and activities. Also about the possibility of my volunteering 3 hours or so every day for a couple of weeks to help with activities, and then lower to two for a couple of weeks, then one, and finally stop once we agree he has transitioned. I need to find out how many resident-men are in the faciity

Very nice facility lots of rooms and beautiful courtyard. On our list as one to consider.

I love this place! After having been sorely disappointed (and even perhaps deceived) at two previous facilities, I believe I have finally found a place for my wife in which I can have complete confidence. I am not going to detail the failings of the other facilities here and now, but my wife's health and welfare were jeopardized there. I don't think they really cared about her at all just as long as they got paid on time. Their goal was to do no more than what was absolutely necessary. Cedar Ridge is different--my wife isn't just someone they have to take of--she is someone they WANT to take care of. DO consider ways to contact me for details--I have an obligation to warn others of the places they should avoid.

Caring people, clean facility, and good nutritious meals

My husband and I visted Cedar Ridge and was very impressed. They were very informative and helpful when talking about my dad's needs.

They seemed wonderful in the way they directed their staff and care. I spent one afternoon visiting here and I liked what I saw quite a bit. I think it’s probably a very good place, especially for residents who might have more challenging issues. It’s one level and small and the staff there has been around for a while so I think they have a good track record. They did a great job in introducing me to the place and showing me around. There’s also a walking path available that the residents can take advantage of. Ultimately, I chose a different community because my Mom didn’t need quite as much care but this one is very nice.
