Cedarhurst Living LLC

Cedar Creek of Warsaw is an intimate facility that has a lot of activities which would be great if your loved one likes to join. My grandmother opts out of those. She enjoys the staff and the routine of having her meals in the dining room.

My loved one was previously a resident at Cedarhurst of Highland and he really enjoyed it there. He had some really great care givers, but they did have a good bit of turnover and some of his favorite people left for other jobs. They were very caring and kind and he was well taken care of. The food seemed fine, but the housekeeping was lacking. Overall, I would highly recommend Cedarhurst of Highland for anyone looking for Assisted Living. They seem to really care about their residents.

The staff seemed more engaged.I have spent most of my time talking with their lead sales person at the facility but I've felt him to be very honest and open. This facility was not the first choice by my parents. That first choice turned out to be a bad one. I also spent time with the resident ambassador who was very helpful.

Overall it is a nice place, food ok could be better, food seems slow. PT in house and excellent. Nurses good but slightly understaffed. RA has a high turnover, apartments and prices match the local market.

Good experience. I would recommend to others. We picked this community because it was the best available.

I am very pleased with the existing accommodations, and the additions I have been allowed to do. Excellent staff, always available to answer questions, and/or quickly respond to needs. I believe I made the right choice for my new home.

Could have been more communication with moving into Cedarhurst letting us know the ins and out of everything. Signed contract and had to wait 3 weeks before we got the emergency button we paid for for my mom. Lots of excuses till I asked for a refund. The place itself was clean. The apt my mom moved into had a odd smell in it. It did not look like my mom's apt was cleaned thoroughly when she 1st moved in. The only came 1 time and asked if she needed her place cleaned. The majority of the staff was very nice, especially the café workers. They were so nice to my mom and the head of activities were very nice. My mom did not need care. She was a level 0. So I really cannot say. Good most of the food was good except when they served food like beef stew, pork, stuff like that that was hard for the seniors to chew. We heard complaints. If you wanted to do activities they were there. Loved the movie theater Cedarhurst has. My mom hardly participated in anything. Felt like she was not encouraged enough. Too much money unless you have financial assistance from somewhere. Its ridiculously over priced and to me that was one of the least expensive assisted living places and prices are going to go up again. We took her out of there after a month. Beautiful place for the most part it's newer, nice location but not for my family. You did not get much for [fee removed] except a roof over your head and meals.

I picked this community because of the availability of a "respite" short term plan with PT/OT on site. I would recommend to others, depending heavily on what their needs are.

What I like the most about Cedarhurst of Edison Creek is all the other residents, I really like the residents. You do not feel alone at all, and the staff members here are mostly friendly. I would recommend this community to other families.

[name removed] was beyond fabulous from start to finish.. she made special time to meet with us very last minute as dads need to move was urgent. She made me feel welcomed. All the staff is beyond friendly.. checks in on dad on a regular basis. Right now he is getting bare minimum care from the facility just because of the cost of additional help with things like laundry, med management etc.. I'm doing most of that for him. His biggest complaint about the food is the lack of taste behind some of it... he has also complained a little bit about the slow service BUT just like everywhere in the world they are extremely understaffed and I firmly believe they are doing the very best they can with what they have. The activities are very repetitive from week to week which makes dad a little bored. I'm personally going to be working with a local scout group (my group) to see if maybe we can gather some different activities that the residents may enjoy. Personally I think the cost of living there is outrageous especially since they don't except medicaid but these places just are not set up for people living on a fixed income unfortunately. I am beyond grateful for a place for mom and Cedarhurst for informing me about some va benefits my dad may qualify for through patriot angels.. we are in the final steps so fingers crossed everything goes through because then we will receive money which will help off set the cost of living!

I liked the Cedarhurst of St. Charles community they were good to My mom and would recommend it. She is good, she was clean and the food was excellent. The residents were very friendly and nice as well.

Our family had an in person tour with Cedarhurst of St. Charles and the tour experience was great. We really liked the overall philosophy of the facility. The representatives were very friendly. Whether or not the offerings and services touted would have panned out is obviously unknown. We did not like the overall aesthetics and rooms much. Location of memory care on lower floor felt like we're in a basement. In the end it came down to location and that facility was not centrally located for all family members

Cedarhurst of Columbia have been wonderful. They blend into my husband's life and he thinks he's working for CedarHurst. They prepare good good and provided good care to the residents. Thanks. However there were some new items left at the front desk on the 2nd day there that were to be given to our loved one and they totally disappeared.

Unable to answer the meals and dining service since my mom was on a nectar thick liquid diet due to swallowing difficulties. Small unit with good sight lines to keep an eye on the residents. Dining/activity room has large windows allowing lots of light which make the area bright, cheerful & welcoming. Adequate seating for family to visit instead of being in the residents room. Nice area outside to sit also.

It's fine for Alzheimer's care. They had an 'age in place' philosophy but did not have the appropriate staff for deteriorating patients. No RN at night to give needed meds. People who could go to the dining room seemed to have a much better experience. They did come when we called and for the most part, the aides were good. The RN wasn't good at following through with instructions from hospice and once said he will tell her if he's uncomfortable. He was non-communicative and didn't get his meds because of her. All said, I think they are good with patients who aren't too challenging. Many similar places were more focused on female residents.

I would recommend.For the most part, mother has adjusted and is enjoying it. They seem to be a little understaffed on the weekends when visitors are there but all in all it's pretty good. We picked this community, because my mother wanted to remain in Warsaw.

Staff and caregivers are helpful and friendly. There is a nurse on call. The food is good and tailored to your dietary needs. I've been very happy with everything except activities, and that is only because my mother is blind. There isn't a lot in which she can participate.

Communication is best in person though with the shortage of workers you have to be persistent and patient. If you need to communicate from outside of the facility, it is best done by text or appointment.For communication not in person that requires more immediate response, calling is best but again be persistent and patient.Very friendly caring staff that are very willing to work things out with family for your loved one's best interest. They are however are a little short staffed. Beautiful well planned out facility with many activities, hair salon, library, movie theatre and PT on site. Open to accepting pets within their guidelines.

The facility and most of the workers are very good. It's like many other places in that there are 3 shifts, people often miss work, and the consistency of meds giving along with your everyday needs and care being met are not good at times. You're often explaining several different times what needs to be done to new workers. It takes a while to get adjusted.

Some of the nursing staff were a bit frustrated with the amount of care my friend needed. I got the impression they felt she did not qualify to be on their unit. She was in hospice care. In the dining room they could have helped cut up her food so she could manage it better. Another resident tried to help her out. The place was clean and had a nice outdoor space to take her outside to visit.
