After being hospitalized I needed further care and rehab. I can’t say enough good about Cedar Ridge! The facility itself is beautiful and super clean. The nursing staff are so friendly and supportive. The food was so delicious and so many choices! Besides my physical therapy there were activities to break up the day. Bingo (of course) I even learned a little about watercolor painting. You can enjoy the beautiful patio and walk on the path or just relax and get some fresh air. They do an excellent job in hiring as all the staff were very professional and almost all knew my name. I’m glad to be home but it was the perfect place to recover and rest. Maybe someday I’ll get to live in the Independent living. They are even pet friendly so that was fun to see them all and even have some visits from my grand dog. Thanks to everyone at Cedar Ridge Village for making my stay really great!
In April of 2024 my mom had a bad fall resulting in multiple fractures and broken bones. She was hospitalized for 10 days and then needed skilled care to complete her recovery. My siblings and I toured several local facilities that had availability. The moment we walked into Cedar Ridge, we knew this was the place. Sydney did an excellent job giving us a tour and explaining everything that would be available to assist mom with her recovery. Cedar Ridge is clean and bright and the staff was friendly as we toured. I observed numerous interactions, and it was obvious this was a caring environment. You could tell the staff liked their jobs and loved the residents. My mom was in skilled care for nearly 11 weeks. It was rough the first 10 days or so because she could not walk or use her right arm. She was 100% dependent on staff for everything. She completed rigorous physical therapy and occupational therapy from Steve and his outstanding team. The nursing staff and aids were very compassionate and understood the level of pain my mom was experiencing and did everything they could to help her. They also took the time to visit with her and treat her like a person – not just a patient. I also have to mention the non-clinical staff. The cleaning crew, laundry, maintenance, drivers – all very kind and friendly. A special mention also goes to Nina and Hailey from administration. They were very responsive anytime we had a question or concern. They were also genuinely kind and sweet to my mom which really helped throughout her stay. My mom was able to walk out 11 weeks to the day after her accident. There were tears of joy and a lot of hugs. My mom met people that changed her life. If you are looking for skilled care for a loved one, I would highly recommend Cedar Ridge.
I recently visited Cedar Ridge Village with a friend who was searching for a future placement for her husband. From the second we walked into the door we were greeted with friendly smiles, and kindness. Sydney gave us a tour of the entire facility, answered all of our questions, and explained all of the options available to my friend and her husband. At this point we had visited 3 other care facilities. One tour lasted 15 minutes, the others less than 30. Sydney spent well over an hour with us, and made us feel she had unlimited time for us. To say this facility is beautiful is an understatement! You can tell that everyone who works and lives here takes great pride in Cedar Ridge Village! While visiting this facility, we met multiple residents and staff. Everyone we spoke to was welcoming, friendly and clearly happy to be there! The one thing I didn’t expect on this visit, was to find the next place that someday, I will call home.
My Great Aunt is currently in short-term rehab at Cedar Ridge Village and I am so thankful for it! The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are always very welcoming, polite, and enjoyable to encounter. I have no doubt that she's getting the best of care from the COVID check-in machine at the visitors entrance to the cookie dinners when she's not feeling up to eating. This is one of the best homes I've had the pleasure of visiting! If it's within your means and someone in your family or even your friends requires the kind of home that Cedar Ridge Valley provides I would most definitely recommend checking this facility out!
Cedar Ridge provided the best care while my mom was in Skilled Nursing and have continued to provide excellent care for her in Assisted Living. The nursing staff is so compassionate and helpful when my mom or I need something. The services they provide (meals, laundry, cleaning the apt) are top notch. My mother was at another community before Cedar Ridge and I can verify that Cedar Ridge goes above and beyond in every aspect of care for your loved one. The entire staff knows everyone's names and they always greet you with a smile on their face. I'm so so grateful for each and every one of them!
