Cedar Lake Assisted Living and Memory Care

Kyra Gorzowski

Cedar Lake is a special place! My dad was a resident of the Memory Care community. While making the decision to seek care for him was difficult, touring Cedar Lake’s beautiful building, and then receiving guidance from the wonderful staff gave me the peace of mind that he would be well cared for. There were no doubt some challenging days with his disease, but way more often than not, he was engaged in activities that brought a smile to his face and elicited memories for things he liked to do when he was younger. The activity program at Cedar Lake is exceptional. Much thought and care goes into cultivating an environment that is a good balance of consistent engagement and time to rest. I was always immediately informed of any new problems or changes in my dad’s health, and being located right around the corner from the local fire department, he was always attended to within minutes during a true emergency. He was in a wheelchair and Cedar Lake was able to provide accommodating transportation to many of his various doctor appointments, which was very convenient. My dad overall liked the meals offered. My mom was a wonderful cook, so he was spoiled that way for the majority of his life, but he would say he really liked many of the meals. The residence is very clean, cheerfully decorated very much like home, and the way the hallways are laid out like a neighborhood is a nice touch. The activity areas are large, there are comfortable places to have visits with larger family groups, and there is a sidewalk around the entire building that we enjoyed on nice weather days. I am thankful for the care he received during this time in his life dealing with such a devastating disease. Everyone at Cedar Lake played a part in helping to make a very difficult time much more manageable and we were able to continue making some good memories that I keep close to my heart. Thank you so very much.
