Cedar Village Assisted Living and Memory Care

[name removed] great. [name removed]still goes there to visit other people and staff. Just sooo expensive but comparable to other care centers.

My mom needed a safe and secure place to live her last days with her progressing dementia. I was unable to give her everything needed at my home. My search led me to Cedar Village. They were kind, patient, and understanding during the move in process. It’s a beautiful community and the memory care is just right for her. The staff are friendly and my mom calls them her friends. Although she is still adjusting to being away from her home, she seems comfortable there and has a routine. She is free to be herself and does not have to worry about a thing. I would recommend Cedar Village.

The staff at Cedar Village Memory Care has been very professional, patient and supportive of [name removed]. His transition has been difficult. Overall everything is as expected. His room is comfortable, food is good and the routines are appropriate and orderly. The compassionate care received from staff stands out as most important.

When you walk into Cedar Village, you are so warmly greeted. I was so glad to see the dining room full and a great meal served on my visit. When I walked through the Memory Care, they were singing karaoke! The residents were truly having a great time! I felt so good walking through this Assisted Living and Memory Care community. So many happy people, from residents to staff!

Eat there before you commit. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Recommend that for ALL facilities people are looking at. Staff are very caring. Impressive response when fire alarm went off. All staff seemed to know EXACTLY what their role was and acted quickly and what appeared to me to be appropriately.

They are very helpful, answer my questions immediately, assist with scheduling (*and* reminding my Mom) Dr. appts Their meals include an "options and alternatives" printed menu- very impressive to have that ! and it is on every table, in a leather-like restaurant-style folder; very classy Beautiful floor plan- a swooping staircase connects the 2 levels, like one you want to see your daughter walking down, when she is to attend her Senior Prom, all gussied up Clean everything, and now- am finding out that all repairs and updates are done quickly-very very low staff turnover.

All the staff are wonderful and caring. Everyone is friendly. We would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. There are meals and activities to engage the residents in socialization.

My mom was in memory care there for 2 1/2 years and passed away there. They took such good care of her. My dad has now been there in memory care also, for about 15 months. He is Mr. Social and is able to attend many activities in assisted living, too. They just love him and take such good care of him. As his disease progresses, I won't worry about his care (which is only step 1 right now) because I've already witnessed my mom's care at Cedar Village. The food is good, and Dad has close friends there that are at the same stage he is.

We thought the staff that gave the actual care to our loved one were very professional and compassionate. The medical staff/pharmacist's could have been more in turned to change in doctors orders.

2 floors, more amenities but more residents, nice walking paths & gathering areas

My mother has lived at Cedar Village for almost 10 years, first in Assisted Living, and now in Memory Care, as her dementia has progressed. The social integration and cognitive stimulation at this facility has been amazing. The activities have always been fun and engaging. Even now, in the end-stages, she engages in some of these activities. The compassionate, personal connection that the direct caregivers have with her has been amazing. The attitude of acceptance of the residents' behavior and their support of them provides a calm and relaxed atmosphere. The place is always clean, but I have to say that while there is no smell of urine in Memory Care, the air is always heavy with a cloying, clinging, fruity-coconutty smell, that pervades one's hair and clothing within a few minutes. The food had been good and has been average, as we've seen a few management companies come and go. In Memory care, the meals are all appropriate for this population. Due to Mom's difficulties with maintaining weight, the staff has gone over and above with monitoring her food, providing nutritious shakes, and encouraging hydration. This has been an excellent part of her care, and we are very appreciative of this support.

Memory Care was "carved out" of A.L. Rooms. Trash not emptied. Closet doors fall off tracks. Call lights not answered for 30+ minutes. Food arrives cold because it comes from other side of the building. Med aides unfamiliar with drugs and their usage. Controlled substances "disappear". Residents hair rarely washed. Snacks not offered in M.C. Residents not brought to meals in M.C. Locked access to M.C. does not lock for 15-30 sec after someone enters or leaves.

My husband lived for 5 years in AL and 2 months ago transferred to the Memory Care part. I have been well satisfied with this facility for as long as he has been living there. Any issues that concerned me were settled quickly and to my satisfaction. Almost immediately care givers and med aides were aware of his quirks and adapted to him. I am a retired RN so I have high standards for his care and Cedar Village meets and exceeds those expectations.

We moved our folks into Cedar Village on [date removed]. The transition was a bit difficult for mom because it was necessary for them to give up their home and car. And, after 6 months of them being cared for/assisted by the Cedar Village staff, I can honestly say that it has been a true blessing for them! My parents have been well treated and cared for. Not only have all their needs been met, but they have been exceeded. The facility is ALWAYS clean and inviting! The staff is caring, understanding and helpful. My mom had a last minute urgent doc appointment and I was sick and couldn't go with her and the staff stepped up to get her to her appt, set me up with a conference call in the docs office and were beyond helpful. They truly set my mind at ease! A huge Thank You to [names removed] and everyone else who came to our rescue! It's comforting to know we can count on you for back up when I can't be there. Thank you so very much for helping to make this time of their life so much easier/better for them!

Very pleasant facility. One hallway for memory care, very well lit. Friendly relationship between staff members evident. The dementia wing is on the street side of the building, with traffic noise in the little garden area. It's nicely kept, but would not be a restful place to sit. Pleasant, well-cleaned room available to view.

We went on a tour here and we thought it was great. The staff was friendly and answered all of my questions. The rooms were on the smaller side. They had a chef on staff so I'm sure the food would've been good. I would recommend families tour many communities before making a choice.

Dad was in this community for a couple of months. He enjoyed being here. The staff was really nice and helpful. It stayed clean in here. They had 3 great meals a day. He would get involved with the daily activities. I would recommend this community.

I went on a tour here and the staff was nice and answered all of my questions. There was an overwhelming smell of air freshener or chemicals to cover up the smell. The walls were painted stark white and you can see all the dirt and handprints on the walls. It was on the expensive side. We went into the memory care unit and had to immediately leave because of the smell. The dining room tables were covered in plastic for as much money as one would pay they should have cloth table covers. And they had no common areas. The apartments had just a dorm size fridge that was really low for an elderly person would have a hard time using I think.
