Cedar Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center

My mother-in-law is in Cedar Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care. I love it. I think it's great. She couldn't be happier. I don't know when was the last time she was this happy. They take good care of her. All the aides are super with the people. I really like it, and the upper management. I'd give them an A-plus. The staff is great. They're very helpful and very good with the people, and they keep them active. They have all sorts of activities. The executive director has been trying to help me solve some different problems in her past place. Everybody's very helpful. They keep me updated on what she does every day and all the activities she's in. The food smelled wonderful. She's eating good, so if she didn't eat it, it wasn't good. The place is not huge. It's just a perfect size for her. She's in a room by herself right now. We just thought that as she got to know some people, and then down the road, we'd probably put her in a room with someone. It's clean and well-organized. It looks like it's kept up well. One day they were having balloon volleyball. They have people come in and play the piano and sing. They had an ice cream social the day that I toured the place, and they took everybody out to the porch and put hats on everybody who wanted them because it was sunny that day. They were having icies out there and everybody was having a good time and taking pictures and everything. She may not always participate, but at least she's there and she's watching. They're doing a good job. They're always updating me on stuff and calling me. I'm very happy with them. They have everything there. They've got nurses and everybody on hand.

My wife was at Cedar Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center for seven months. It was a great place. Very caring. Very considerate people. I couldn't have been more satisfied. It was an excellent place. It was a little expensive, but it was worth every penny. Excellent food. Clean and caring service. The nurses were great. The administrators were involved. They knew everybody. It's a small place. I think they only have like 50 residents. I had lunch or dinner with my wife, and the food was excellent. Not a five-star restaurant, but certainly a five-star institution. Activities were good.

The staff are happy and engaging. There are always activities for the residents. My mom has always felt happy & safe in their care.

One of the things we liked about Cedar Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center was they have seven activities for the memory care residents a day. They try to keep them awake as much as they can during the day, so they sleep well at night. They also provide all the linens, all the towels, and everything. Then they have three meals a day and three snacks a day. They are an older facility, but the staff was great. They're not trying to do three different people's jobs; each person was specialized in each area that they do.

Cedar Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center is very, very inviting and very clean. We like their COVID policy and the care that they've taken, the fact that their staff is vaccinated and most of the residents are vaccinated. Renee, the community relations director, is the lady who gave us the tour and spent quite a bit of time visiting with us. They had a lot of activities planned because it was a Saturday, and a lot of the residents were either in rooms with their families or they were gone. We didn't see very many of the residents, which is fine because they are very careful about COVID. But I appreciate the fact that they were very, very careful. So we did not have any of the food, but everybody looked well cared for. The staff that we saw seemed happy like they liked their jobs.

Cedar Ridge's facility was great. I love the rooms' layout and I love the whole area. The residents could go out into the yard and it's locked so they can't leave the area. They have an exercise room and a room where they can do other activities. I saw pianos in 3 different rooms, so the clients would be able to sing and play music. They were only at half capacity because of COVID, but there are a lot of activities. I like the fact that they have a garden area and that the clients can garden. They have a barbecue grill where, when it's nice out, they barbecue and do things outdoors.
