Cedar Ridge Senior Living

My husband and I have been at Cedar Ridge Senior Living ( formerly Brookdale Cedar Ridge ) living in a sweet 4 room cottage for over two years and are extremely happy here. The staff are all such loving, caring people and take very good care of the residents. Due to covid, we chose to have our meals delivered. The food is very good. The atmosphere in the main building is very welcoming, bright and cheery.

My mother Dorothy has lived at Brookdale Cedar Ridge for just over three years. During this time she has been hospitalized three times. One time from falling and breaking her hip. Upon her returns to Brookdale from the hospital stays, she has always received the best of care from the nurses, aids and staff. I have referred several people to Brookdale and will continue to recommend Brookdale to everyone I know requiring or considering assisted living. I have found the atmosphere to be very professional, caring and comfortable.

My experience at Cedar Ridge was very different than the other reviews shared. I was greeted by an employee who said she would get me someone who could show me around the community and answer questions about the community. Then I was introduced to Lisa Meacham, the community relations person. She took the time to really listen to what the needs of my parents were, and also listen to how it was impacting the entire family. We had been trying for the past year to keep mom and dad at home with services and with the kids taking turns coming to the house. We had not only our own families to care for but my parents had great needs as well. Setting up their medication, doing laundry, buying the groceries, seeing that the food in the house was fresh and not outdated, yard work, changing light bulbs. It seemed when we walked in their door it was to accomplish their needs, but not to sit and visit. I didn't realize how much I missed that until they moved to Cedar Ridge. We went to many different communities, and while there are several good ones to choose from Cedar Ridge offered what we needed for our parents. We completed paperwork with Delaine and she was detailed about what we could expect from her staff at Cedar. We have been at the community for 6 months and I am always so appreciative of the response that we get if a need arises. My parents are happier than I have seen in a few years. Mom plays bingo, dad plays cards, and they both talk about how much they enjoy the meals and ice cream socials. Us kids are so thankful that when we come to see mom and dad it is just for a visit. Everything else is handled by the wonderful staff...
