Cedarhurst of Columbia

Very nice, clean facility. I was admittedly disappointed about the care and assistance provided. The services required, seemed to escalate rapidly (as did the billing for same), but rarely were performed as per the care plan.

You should definitely check out this place.

The facility is clean and well maintained. None of the residents have ever told me they had to wait long for something to be repaired or replaced. The kitchen staff do good work and are quite cooperative. Whenever they prepare a meal that a resident does not like, they offer alternatives. There is no reason a resident should skip a meal.

Review for Cedarhurst of Columbia

My dad was only in there one night, but they were very attentive and they were very kind when we arrived. The support staff was very good. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful Building, Caring Staff, Unacceptable Food, Sketchy Security

Cedarhurst is mostly a lovely place with a beautiful building, daily activities, good community. & a icaring staff I trust with my loved one. There’s no excuse for the unacceptable & unhealthy food or for serving sloppy Joe’s & tater tots to people paying a minimum of $[removed] a month, most of whom shouldn’t be eating high fat, fried foods. There’s a dearth of vegetables. They seem to have selected the worst from the frozen food and canned goods section of Sam’s Club, They should hire a real chef who actually cooks & has the expertise to prepare heart healthy meals, with green vegetables, salad bar, and olive oil. Foods should be labeled with calories & salt content. There doesn’t seem to be any significant security. The doors are locked at 8, which is too early. They don’t really check to see if you belong there after hours. Someone should staff at the front desk 24/7. Each resident should have an electronic key fob or some system so only residents, staff, and guests can enter.

Some staff were not very helpful, including the resident director

Some of the staff seemed bothered to be asked for help and some didn't care or pay attention to personal needs! Some meals were not fit for the elderly!!! Some meals most food was left on the plates by all. when needs are not being met and request or met with nothing more than a phone call to oblige you, there is mushroom for improvement. This all lies in the directors lap to make sure things change for the better!!

Cedarhurst of Columbia has been wonderful, they blind into my husbands life and he thins he is working for Cedarhurst. They have good food and good care. The reason we gave them a 4 overall is because there have been new items I left at the front desk, 2nd day there, to be delivered to [name removed] , totally disappeared.

Overall satisfied

The staff was friendly and wanted to help when we had a question. There was a lot of turnover of the staff and management, that was frustrating at times. I would recommend Cedarhurst of Columbia based off of our experience.

Would never recommend - lack of care

They don't even deserve a one star rating. My mom was moved from there that place is horrible and you should not recommend them I moved her 2 months later after she had 11 falls 3 ended in the er because the staff never checked on her. Because Feb only had 28 days I had to pay for March too as it wasn't a full month's notice She was in memory care for dementia and they had no memory care director. I've moved her back to a facility where I pay 10k but she is in great care. They follow up with everything and do meetings every 90 days. If I could sue Cedarhurst I would but no lawyer will go after them. The room was so small and she never left the room. They let anyone check her out with no sign in or out. At one point they called me to say she was missing. In Jan 2023 someone took her out and the doors closed on her sending to the er. She fell who h was number 11 and 911 was called because she was along and the don't know how long she had been down but blood was all over the floor and her face was bruised and had cuts from Her glasses breaking and cutting her face. When they called and asked to bring her back I said none why and they said the falls where her fault for not asking for help.

We definitely have a peace of mind, knowing our dad is getting the best care

The cleanliness and the overall feeling of family was the main reasons we chose Cedarhurst of Columbia. All of the staff are so friendly and caring.

A great facility for memory care

The main reason we chose Cedarhurst of Columbia over others we visited was just because of the way they treated the residents with such care and dignity. Our dad is on the memory care floor. Our dad is getting such good care at Cedarhurst, we get pictures and reports on him. They encourage him to join in the activities. I would very much so recommend this community to anybody who is looking.

Over promised, under delivered.

This is pretty clean place. However, falls dramatically short on the apartment cleaning. We were there 2 months and only had it cleaned by housekeeping once even though it was supposed to be weekly. The aids do wash the laundry & sheets but if you want laundry detergent & softener used the resident must provide it. The aids also empty the trash cans and make the bed regularly. Common areas are clean and tidy. Most of the staff we really friendly, however 2 were not friendly at all. That's why I ranked a 4. Severely understaffed. Call lights go unanswered for hours sometimes. They don't keep accurate medical records when passing patient meds therefore no one really knows what is going on. There are some really good med techs. However, one left pills in the mouth of the resident who couldn't swallow and was unconscious. Good food options but if you want seasoning you need to bring your salt. Amazing activity options for the residents. Place needs more staff, more training and better management. Would only go there if there were no other options. That it is a decent place for highly mobile and independent people that can do most things with no help.

Friendly staff and fun activities

What we really like about Cedarhurst of Columbia is how much the staff pay attention to our loved one as an individual and delight in who he is. [name removed] plans activities that he enjoys - there is a baking club, exercises with 60s music, they play noodle ball and have coffee and conversation's just to name a few.

Do A Trial Before Comitting

I wouldn't recommend the community to others for their loved ones. I was never given a chance to use the new staff, as all the prior staff was let go. The entire memory care wing was not cared for by the prior staff. My loved one fell multiple times with no assistance with the prior staff. The staff wouldn't encourage the residents to eat in the dining room. The Executive Director tried to make amends; however, it was too late for my loved one and family. My loved one never wanted to go back because of their poor experience here.

Would Recommend

This was just a 2-week stay last year. My husband, for the most part, enjoyed himself. The facility is beautiful and clean, the staff and residents were very friendly, the food was okay if a bit skimpy. There were activities scheduled on their calendar, but usually, nobody showed. During his stay, they were short-handed, so he could have used more showers. Occasionally, he will say he misses the people and would go back.

I would recommend

All of the staff here are extremely friendly. The executive staff takes time about a month after move in to sit down with the family and go over everything and make sure everyone is on the same page with the care. One frustration I have had is we have been unable to get some important doctors appointments set up for my loved on - but that is no fault of theirs. I would absolutely recommend Cedarhurst of Columbia to others looking.

Pleasant and comforting, but not inspiring

When you talk to them they speak well and they're kind of like a Johnny-on-the-spot when talking to you, but I'm unsure if it always gets down to their floor staff. The floor staff are all very friendly, mostly no one ever gives you a hard time. It's hard to say much bad about them, but they're kind of bland and the reality may be that "bland" is the best you can get when it comes to Alzheimer's - unless we adapt a widely new approach to this disease. The meals appear to be timely and properly cooked, but not very inspired. In the memory care unit, as I think is true of most places within the U.S., none of these places have a clue what's the best approach for a diet when you have Alzheimer's disease. The meal selection is kind of medium-fair. I know they have activities, but I'm unsure how much of those activities include memory care. Memory care consists of having a locked door, and that's the primary activity or mechanism they use. They'll lock the door because if not, they will wander. The doors are alarmed and you can go out for an emergency, but they will sound an active alarm. Every once in a while the alarm flares up and it just keeps going, as the evening staff kind of get around to it when they get around to it. I don't think they're much worried about the residents leaving or getting far because of their limited mobility. They're not Johnny-on-the spot to respond to the door alarm. They're not bad, just not very impressive. In this town, when you want to staff something like this place, you wont get the crème of the crop who's applying for the job. They are very friendly and try to do reasonably well, there will still be a little of an uphill battle. I'm always there when I'm not out of town or in the hospital sick, but I'm there every almost single day. I mostly visit during the evening as I don't want to break up my time by coming during the day. I'm not sure how actively she participates. She gets kind of contrary, so things I've talked about that I'd like her to do, she won't do them and they won't fight her too much. The last time they tried to get her engaged she slapped someone and cursed a little, which is so unlike her. I don't know how much is fair to say; I get the impression that their activities aren't much different and may be a little less frequent than her previous community. It doesn't compare to the activities her grandmother received in nursing home, but she wasn't in a memory care unit. There are a lot of constraints over what they can do and there are also constraints over what I can say. I'll need to talk to their administrative staff because she's been prescribed a medication and there is no indication, to my knowledge, that she needs to be on that medication - as she does not have any of the conditions that are related to the use of that medication. It's an okay place and it's very attractive looking. It looks quite proper and it has a wing for memory care; the rest of the rather large building is assisted living and they can come and go as they please. They have some control over the doors after a certain time of night. If you come by late, you have to pick up a phone to be let in and they are pretty good with that. It's not a place you can say much negative about. It's kind of bland, but it's closer than the other place and probably better because it's condition and cleanliness is better than her previous community. It's posh-looking; they keep it clean and it's only about five to six years old. The carpeting was beginning to reflect the time and now they're working on replacing it. There are no major negatives. They hand their cards out readily and they answer the phone when they are there. So it's okay, but it's just not the kind of place that fires you up. They try very hard to be friendly and helpful for me, but there aren't any good answers to Alzheimer's, especially in America.
