Maple Ridge Memory Care Home

When it comes to memory care homes, Maple Ridge is a gem tucked inn a cul-de-sac. My family and I are very pleased in having the staff of Maple Ridge care for our loved one. Everyone is friendly and competent in their efforts to keep her healthy and happy.

Friends, our mother was a resident of Cedar Creek homes for almost 10 years. What a gift to her and to us all! Shortly after our father passed, she was diagnosed with vascular dementia. We danced as hard as we could to keep her at home with support services, programs, overnight stays and so on and eventually it became too much for her. We visited several places, many of which were glitzy on the outside but 'lacking something' on the inside. We found that something at Cedar Creek. The first time I walked into Auxiliary House, the 7 residents were enjoying lunch together and an exhibit of one of their photos was on display. The home, and it was a REAL home, not an apartment block, was bright and sunny and residents each had their own room and bathroom. Their possessions were scattered throughout the house or hung on walls making everyone feel at home. I chatted with staff and the residents, and realized that this was the place for mom! Although her decline was torturous (as you probably know), the support, care and kindness of the staff was incredible. We were always welcome to visit and sometimes took mom and one of her new friends to church or out to lunch -- or just sat with her and others on the porch or watched a movie together. She also loved to fold laundry or attend to other simple tasks that gave her a sense of belonging and purpose. As she declined, mom had to move to another Cedar Creek home that was all on one level and had a slightly different level of care.. The staff made this transition as easy and comfortable as possible for all of us. This house, too, was homey, bright and sunny with individual rooms (but not bathrooms). And I was relieved to see that the same therapists (art, music, massage) who served Auxiliary House, also served here, providing wonderful continuity of care. A doctor was available, too. I could go on and on about the gift of Cedar Creek, but let me give you a few more examples of why these homes are special: mom felt safe, c

My mother lived the last few years of her life at Maple Ridge and received wonderful care there. I especially appreciated the pro-active thinking on the part of Anna, the administrator, and the great communication we established regarding Mom's medical condition. Thanks to all of the staff there for all of their help.
