Cedarhurst Living LLC

4 stars - strictly based on the food. They are always out of basics such as fruit ?? and the chefs salads are always missing tomato and meat on a regular basis. For the cost of accommodation The food is lacking daily.

It was lovely but too small for our needs as a couple. Lots of nice features. Choice of meals. Activities

The staff and administrators are really nice and Dad perks up when the Director, [name removed] chats with him. She is truly exceptional with the residents. There is a young woman who has taken over the activities and she is cute and funny and attentive. She likes to cut up with them (I have been in several activities with Dad) and the residents seem to like her. The head nurse is an LPN and doesn't seem to know anything about diabetes. My sister and I were just talking about we have not seen her for awhile. Dad (and the men at his table) complain about the food. The meat is almost always chicken and it's always dry. They seem to have a problem in turnover in the kitchen. I don't think I can emphasize enough the importance of food to a person in a facility setting. I know for the corporations that own the facilities, food is the first place they cut corners to save money. Food is the difference between dying and thriving. (Seriously, I'm not kidding)

So far they have been very easy to work with, management has been very easy to access and they seem to really care about Mom and her health! Staff is friendly and seem to be well trained and generally competent.

The administer is a good compassionate leader. My wife is in memory care and hospice is now assisting. My wife was a very good cook and I'm okay so the food is just okay to our standards. It seems the evening crew is less dependable and apparently all facilities face a pretty high turnover. I drive 32 miles 4 or 5 times a week to help [Name Removed] offering some t l c and I often take some home made meals.

Staff was very helpful and they all knew [name removed] personally. She loved the bingo. Cedarhurst took her out to Walmart and restaurants on day trips. She made friends with the other residents and enjoyed their company, especially on the front porch in the summer.

The staff is amazing. The other residence are all welcoming and kind. The communication with the doctor and pharmacist that are linked to Cedarhurst could be improved. The activities and activity director are great but some of the activities are canceled without that information being shared. But overall we are very happy with Cedarhurst.

What stands out: The staff is very caring; ALL staff are engaged in different ways with the residents; and there is a large number of activities (5 daily) that vary and change with time that really provide for social engagement and fun.

This place is memory care only. No assisted living mixed in. They take the tough cases. Really liked management- always willing to talk. Staff was great as well considering their work environment- but they obviously needed additional help- especially at night. Very clean - everyone pitches in.

We are new to this, but generally happy with Cedarhurst. They didn't notify me when one of them fell and they called ambulance for ER. The value is great and I already had a sibling here before. Not really very fast to fix things they turn in work order but have to ask a couple times to get them fixed

Mom will be moving to a studio when one is available but it is much further from the elevator. My mom doesn't currently participate in activities but I would rate a 5 since activities are offered daily and those participating seem to be enjoying them. I wish the lowest level assisted living was more affordable, but this facility is in line with the market. Overall would recommend.

Thanks for your help in the search for assisted living for [Names Removed] they are now at Cedarhurst a bit overwhelmed but getting acclimated to the new surroundings

Like any senior living community, Cedarhurst can be understaffed at times. The staff is very friendly and are very willing to help. My mother likes the food. The apartment is a one bedroom. It is plenty big enough for her. The building is open and bright. It is kept up and clean. There are many activities for the residents. They have a movie theater. It would be nice if they posted what movie that was being shown. Was not pleased when there was a 9% increase in rent when the cost of living was a little over 2%

Nice place. Roomy apartments. Friendly staff. The only real issue was that it wasn't made 100% clear to me that once an apartment was reserved, we would start paying rent. We didn't move mom in for another month. The manager there was very apologetic and reduced the first month's cost by about half.

Activity directors are great! The cleanliness of the room isn't always the greatest but then no one cleans like I do! Laundry is supposed to be done every Saturday but doesn't always happen. My husband then tries to do it but not very well.....Food is ok. Bistro used to have sandwiches, but now just pudding, cookies, yogurt, etc.... overall it's been good and everyone is very nice that works there.

My dad transferred there from another facility due to his behavior. My dad did not adjust to the move. Cedarhurst was a much larger facility. I feel my dad did not get as much one on one attention causing him to be depressed. I moved him home after just one month.

We have since found residency at Revela at O'Fallon, which is night and day better. I do recommend Revela at O'Fallon. They're expensive, [removed]/mo, but they actually do what they advertise. First, the place is like checking into a nice hotel. The best thing for me is that they keep Sharon engaged all day long. At Revela, they serve meals and residents get choices.

Staff and community are warm and friendly. Food is outstanding. A bit pricey but the room is large and well lit. Good activities.

Very nice staff At Cedarhurst. The activities were fantastic Wide variety of food the only disappointment was the laundry service. You could mark your name on everything but never get it back We felt that the staff truly cared about our mom

As I have told administration, weekends and holidays are a little confusing for residents with even mild dementia. Staffing seems to be less and different people who may alter schedules for medicine distribution and help with showers, etc. Otherwise, facility is ALWAYS Clean and well maintained. They have tons of activities, even on weekends. Mom sometimes complains about the food, but I really think it is her taste buds at 93.
