My husband has been in Cedar Ridge Alzheimer's Special Care Center since Christmas Eve. The people are wonderful, and he seems really happy there. They're a specialized Alzheimer's care home, but they take Parkinson's patients. He has Parkinson's with mild dementia. I'm perfectly happy with them right now. The staff is just really caring, and they do fun things for 'em. They have an app, and they send you pictures of what they're doing. You can go on your app and see what they're doing. They're really nice. I haven't met anybody I didn't like.
When I visit, they have plexiglass up on a table. We go into an old cafeteria that they don't use anymore, but it's always clean. They send you a calendar of what they do. They have extensive activities, and it's the most I've seen anywhere. They played balloon volleyball, and they had Elvis' birthday where they all got to dress up as Elvis, they dressed them up, they had guitars, and they played a bunch of games. I didn't read the activities calendar. I just saw how long it was because my husband is very limited in what he can do. They don't let them stay in their rooms. They keep 'em out of their room to do activities or meet other people. They keep 'em active.
