Cedarhurst of Dyer

Highly recommend this beautiful & caring facility

We toured this beautiful facility 2-years ago. This was the first place we looked at. I told a friend who's father was in assisted living that I was looking & she had all good things to say about his facility so we checked it out. It was a better financial situation for us at that time. [name removed] at Cedarhurst kept in touch with me even after we made the decision to go elsewhere. That left a lasting impression. In the mean time, we sold my father's house & his monthly VA Benefits went up which made his financi…

Our Experience

We pulled my husband's aunt from the facility. Two significant increases in rental and services without much notice raised the rate more than 20%. Also, we had employed hospice to come alongside, who came daily during the week, thus reducing the staff burden at Cedarhurst. Yet they still raised the monthly rate of increased services. We had to call a meeting with the director. Hospice present. Care was good in the early months, and horrible in the months up to leaving there. Aunt was left in a wet bed many times. W…

A nice community.

Unable to answer the meals and dining service since my mom was on a nectar thick liquid diet due to swallowing difficulties. Small unit with good sight lines to keep an eye on the residents. Dining/activity room has large windows allowing lots of light which make the area bright, cheerful & welcoming. Adequate seating for family to visit instead of being in the residents room. Nice area outside to sit also.

Skip this Facilty

Don't be fooled by this newer beautiful facility or the tour. Many residents just leave after constant unresolved problems & do not bother to do the right thing and report them. Understaffed & lack of caring staff, poor food (frozen or canned). My Mom repeatedly did not get regular showers, problems with meds and many residents no one even looks in on them. High turnover of staff and directors. Many problems that they just don't care to make better. It's a business and a poor one.

It was a beautiful but more expensive facility and a little too big. I felt my mom would have been overwhelmed. The tour guide was very nice and helpful.

This is NOT a good place for mom!

After 14 months of medication dispensing disasters, lack of communication with nursing and management, and overall poor and unattended care, we moved our mother to a new facility. Cedarhurst of Dyer is a business, not an assisted living facility.
