Holiday Cedar Ridge

We toured Holiday Cedar Ridge. It wasn't as homey as the other community, but it's more of an independent living and not assisted living. It was still inviting. We only met the sales manager at that location. We saw the maintenance guy, too. The person who took us around was great. I wouldn't have anything negative to say. She was very personable, very informative, and inviting.

Holiday Cedar Ridge was nice. It looked clean. The room looked nice. They're going to redo it. The lady who took me was also really nice, helpful, and answered all my questions. They had a hearing aid thing going on right there for senior citizens so they could test different hearing aids and stuff like that. They had a church. I didn't check all the amenities because my dad was limited in what he could do.

We will be moving into Holiday Cedar Ridge. We like the spaciousness and friendliness. The facility was neat and impressive. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. They provide three meals a day, seven days a week. The day that we were there, the food was very good. Our son and his wife were with us, and the remarks that I heard from them were very favorable.

My father-in-law moved into Holiday Cedar Ridge. It was convenient to where we lived, and they had just as nice facilities as anybody that we toured. The staff is very nice, very friendly. Everything's nice and clean. Tonight they're playing bingo, they've got a pool table, and I guess you can call it a health club. There are a few machines in there that they can sit on, a bicycle, and work out. And they do cards in the evening and play games. The food was nice. He's happy with the food most of the time, except if they have a meat selection he doesn't like. But other than that, the food is just as nice as a restaurant, from what I could tell.

I was impressed with Holiday Cedar Ridge as well as its location. It's near our home and it's within our budget. So, we're feeling optimistic that my sister-in-law will be happy there. One of the things that impressed us was that several of the residents came up to us unsolicited and told us how much they liked it there. The person who took us on the tour was friendly and knowledgeable. We saw a selection of all the types of rooms that they have available. The one that we selected was under renovation, so it's going to have all-new paint, carpet, and appliances, and that made us happy. It felt warm and comfortable. The dining area looked inviting with lots of nice selections on the menu. They have a variety of facilities such as big-screen TVs, game rooms, church services, devotions, and activities led by the residents.

We think we are choosing Holiday Cedar Ridge for my friend. We like it because it's open like everything is right there. Where my friend's room will be, the dining room is just right there outside his bedroom. He doesn't have to go out of the area. They also offer studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments. The apartments on the ground floor have a little patio that faces the wooded area at the back. If there's another level of care needed, they have a partner agency that will help with the care. They have a monitoring system like a watch or a necklace, and if he were to fall, you press that and the staff will get notified. The staff who gave us the tour was very good, energetic, and very knowledgeable. He was directly talking to my friend and I thought he was very considerate of his needs. He's good at his job. When we arrived, they offered us drinks. And then when we were leaving, they gave cookies to my friend.

We completed our tour of Cedar Ridge yesterday. It was a great experience. Kelly was the one that we worked with, and she was fantastic. She showed us two different room options. We get to see several residents because they were having dinner, and they were excited to see some company. The suite room was too small for my mom, but the one-bedroom was a perfect size. The place was very, very clean. I didn't see anything in disrepair or out of its place. They had several areas that the residents could go to if they didn't want to stay in their apartment. They have an activity center, and Kelly said they usually have several activities going on throughout the week. They've got a girl named Megan that is in charge of that. The dining area looked like you were walking into a four-star restaurant. They had like a classic chandelier, and they were eating off chinaware.

I live out of state and was so happy to find a place where my grandmother could have the support she needed. The apartments are clean and well maintained. The activities offered are good socially and are intellectually stimulating. The staff are wonderful, attentive and gracious. My grandmother has lived there for 2 years now and throughout Covid I felt very confident about her safety. She has had a rocky road medically and the staff always check in with her to make sure she is safe and that she has what she needs. The services available to help when she needs it have been phenomenal. I couldn’t ask for a better place for Grandma to be. For the cost you could not find anything better!! I have nothing negative to say about Cedar Ridge. I highly recommend this place and it’s staff.

I went to visit Cedar Ridge. It was very nice, and they were very complimentary. They even offered to make arrangements for me to have a storage building in the back. They're very nice people. I found the second bedroom very sparse. It did not have an air-conditioning unit, and I found that very disturbing. If I were to live there permanently, I would think I would need to make certain arrangements to have air conditioning in the second bedroom. The building looked very nice except for the second bedroom. That is very much of a deterrent. They really could not show you everything, they could point things out, and it looked like they had an activities room, and things of that nature. I only met three of the staff: the person in charge of the activities, the sales director, and the chief sales person. She seemed to be very courteous and kind.

The service is good as can be, given we have Covid. The meals are served irregular. This is due I am sure to the fact the meals are served to the rooms.

My grandfather moved into Cedar Ridge. We've been really happy with it, all of the staff members are very kind, very helpful, and easy to get in contact with. Everybody works together, which is nice. We weren't just talking to one person the whole time, and all the facilities were very nice. They're very clean, well-updated, and all the residents seem really happy. We were able to talk to a couple of the residents, and they praised it and talked about how they love it there. It's very independently based, which is nice. You can choose the level of care that your relative needs, whether they need help with everything, or they don't need help with anything and just need somebody to check on them every so often. They could use some updating in some of the general areas. They have a game room, a chapel, and a bible study group two to three times a week; my grandpa is really excited, and he's talking to the staff about letting him do a Sunday school class. Even now with COVID, they're not really allowing the residents to interact with each other a lot, but they still play bingo from the hallway, and the rest of the place plays using the loudspeaker.

Cedar Ridge was a very nice place and very comparable to other places I also looked at. It wasn't as upscale as one place I visited, but it's still very nice. The staff who assisted me during the tour was very nice, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The room they showed me was set up apartment style, which was a 1-bedroom. They told me about their activities, like dancing and music. They have quite a few activities including exercise classes. They also invited us to try a meal, but we did not.

Maja

We really love Cedar Ridge. It's wonderful, and the people there are fantastic. They change my mom's sheets and towels regularly, and they empty the garbage for her. She's responsible for her own laundry, and we forgot it in the laundry one time and one of the cleaning girls folded it up nice and neat and brought it to her. They're just lovely people. It's not even that girl's responsibility, but she did it. They have a variety of activities like music, dancing, and formal dinners where everybody dresses up in formal attires and the women get escorted to the table by the male staff and the women escort the gentlemen. It's lovely and sweet. They also have bingo, tai chi, seated exercises, and Bible study. It's good.

We enjoyed Cedar Ridge a whole lot and were impressed with it. The tour was very well done, and we were impressed with the person who took us on the tour. He was wonderful. The apartment we saw had been vacated and redone, and it was very nice. The facility was well-done and well-presented.

Clay

Cedar Ridge was fine and I liked it overall. It was a modern place. Everybody seemed very professional and very informative. The location was convenient. The rooms were for one person and they were OK. The restrooms had handlebars and a stand-up shower.

Cedar Ridge appeared to be very nice and clean, and the staff was very accommodating. The rooms were clean but on the small side. The residents were fine; they had their routines and were busy.

Cedar Ridge seemed OK and gave me a positive impression. I thought the people working there were OK. The apartments were nice. I liked the one-bedroom apartment that had a little patio outside and a space for a little garden. The location was good. The grounds were neat and kept up. They had a variety of living spaces available, like studios, one-bedrooms, and some larger apartments. The services were well thought out.

My visit at Cedar Ridge was wonderful and exceptionally good. The facilities were excellent, and the staff was warm, friendly, and helpful. I could not ask for much more. There was a beauty shop and a small workout area. It had a variety of activities daily for everybody at convenient times.

Our tour at Orchid Terrace was really good. We had a nice lunch with good food. They were great and convinced us to get my friend a place there. The place is very clean. They have a little garden outside, bingo, and a sewing room.

Cedar Ridge is an independent living retirement community. The person who took us around was really nice. I got an invitation to have lunch with them as a guest and I went with a friend with mine on a Wednesday and the parking lot was so crowded that I had trouble finding a place to park. I heard that was a problem there. They only have kitchenettes in the apartments, which I didn’t want. I find the cottages depressing because a majority of the people there needed more assisted living than anything else. One of the residents told me that there were people with dementia there who tend to wander around. For some people, it would be great and some people really like it there. They take them on trips and have a bus that transports them if they need to go see doctors. They had movies and activities.

We visited Cedar Ridge. We thought the facility was clean and well taken care of. The rooms were spacious. The people were really nice. We had lunch there with my parents who really enjoyed it. Overall, the impression was very good. My parents and I thought the food was very good. We had interactions with people that were having lunch and the chef came around and talked. It was good. For what my parents could afford, it is probably the best option available from what we have looked at so far.

I was impressed, surprised, and pleased with Cedar Ridge. I wouldn’t mind my mother being there. I think she really likes the amenities and everything they have to offer for recreational activities, except they don’t have a pool or a gym, just more of a gaming area. The staff was very informative, welcoming, and very helpful. They still keep in contact with me and were willing to discuss everything. They’re very communicative.

Cedar Ridge is in a more commercial area and to me it was more like a resort setting. It’s built like a hotel and a bigger community. Some rooms were far from the elevators and my wife is not in a mobile situation yet. It really did not fit for what we wanted, because of the largeness and it was all in one building. The individual apartment has its own sun room and the place was impeccably landscaped. They had a billiard pool table, chapel and a private dining room if you want to have meal with your family. The one amenity that they have which was very nice was the association that they have, their parent company. They have exchange program where I’m living here and I want to go to San Francisco on vacation. I put in ahead of time I can go there and I don’t have to pay and you can virtually do that anywhere in the country.

Cedar Ridge has just been very accommodating to my grandmother. The staff is friendly, and the place is clean. They have a lot of good activities like bingo, cards, movie day in the afternoon. They have chapel services on Sundays. They have had special activities, and programs over the holidays which were nice. The apartment that my grandmother is in is nice, big and very clean. The food is good. I would say it’s very healthy. They don’t give a lot of extra things that wouldn’t be necessarily. I guess they are probably looking out for people who have diabetes, and things like that. It’s a good well-balanced meal. It had three floors, and a lot of different places where you could go.

The people were very nice at Cedar Ridge and gracious. The only problem I had was they do three meals a day, and the kitchen in the room was a not a full kitchen because they figured if you don't cook, you don't need a full kitchen. You have a refrigerator, counter space, and a cabinet. The rooms were small, and they didn’t have storage. They had all the activities that everybody else we visited: exercise, movies, a library, a pool table, etc. The food was good. For me, it would be a three-star rating because of the lack of storage and the small size of the closet.

I found Cedar Ridge for my uncle. I love it. There are lots of wonderful people there. It is very friendly. It is clean, and their food is excellent. I like everything about it. I felt like we were able to get our biggest bang for our buck. The price was reasonable, considering what you're looking at. It is just a very nice situation, and I'm extremely pleased. My uncle has been there for seven weeks now. He has an apartment, and it is a one-bedroom. It has a kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator, and there is a space on the counter for a microwave. My uncle has a nice-sized living room, three big closets, and a very nice bathroom. The staff is very caring. They care a lot about their residents. They're just very friendly, welcoming people. They have lots of activities, and they're really fun. Actually, I participated in some of them. There are a number of residents who attended, and they're having a good time.

Everything was great at Cedar Ridge. It was very attractive and clean. The staff was very kind and thorough. They spent a really long time with us. They answered all our questions. The rooms were nice. We liked everything about it. They seemed like they had a lot of activities available for the residents. They did let us eat a meal there, and it was very good. They had a nice variety of food. They had a lovely dining room.

Caring111423650

I went to visit Cedar Ridge, and what I like about them is that they offer a month to month rent; that appealed to me for my mother. The facility itself is very nice and clean. The rooms were more than adequate for what my mom's needs.

Caring109986650

I looked at Cedar Ridge. The staff was very nice. They looked fabulous and very energetic. The apartment was beautiful, and it seemed to have enough space. The dining room was fantastic. Everything was nice. The food was good and was excellently served. You could travel and go anywhere. I believed as far as the activities, go out of the community, but if you were an older person like most of them were, they brought in stuff. It was the one within my price range.

Cedar Ridge was a really nice place, and it's in a good location. It has a homier feel. They include everything in the package, except for the phone. It has really nice staff. They serve three meals a day that are home-cooked every day. We ate there, and I think some of the foods were not as appropriate for the elderly, like some of the meat was kind of tough, so some elderly folks would have trouble with that.

My visit at Cedar Ridge was good. My mom did like that one. Their dining room seemed big when you walk in. It was the same as with the other facility. We did see a couple of their rooms and one is the same blueprint as the one she is in right now. In terms of activities, they gave us a calendar and they did have the same things like day trips and special trips where they provide transportation. We didn't choose this one and it wasn't so much about the place but it was the location. This one was just so far away and we would never be able to see my mom.

Balint

Cedar Ridge is really nice. They actually pre-arranged to pick me up with a taxi and brought me there for a visit. I had lunch with them and I think the food was kind of mediocre, nothing special. I also saw their rooms and they're too small. The biggest problem I have with them is that they don't have a kitchen in their apartments. What they have though is just a microwave. So when you have a friends over and even if you're going to fix them a small snack, you have to go all the way down to their kitchen facility to do that.

Betty27

I found the Cedar Ridge even friendlier, but I did not like the fact that meals are required. I still cook and take meals to my neighbors, but there are no stoves in their apartments and that's the reason I am not interested. Also, I think there were more independent people living independently, but I'm not sure that statement is correct. It's newer and quieter. They had a few more amenities and health equipment. The food was excellent. Again, there were so many people who had advanced health problems that I don't have yet. If I needed the care, and couldn't cook anymore, and so on, I would go to the Cedar Ridge.

Cedar Ridge is very clean. I found nothing wrong with it, the food was good and the people were friendly. It was just that most of them were 10 or 15 years older and I still run around a lot. It was just too confining.
