Cedar Creek Memory Care is widely praised for its beautiful, purpose-built facility and compassionate staff who prioritize resident dignity and engagement. However, recent reviews from 2025 and 2026 highlight serious concerns regarding hygiene, basic care standards, and allegations of discriminatory practices. While many long-term families report positive experiences, the recent emergence of critical complaints regarding neglect and communication suggests a potential decline in service quality.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff at this facility has helped her retain her dignity and somehow prevented her taking a major fall, despite the big risk.”
“Rooms are bare. Multiple times my mom was not fed in her room. As was asked. She ended up with a UTI from not being changed and admitted to the hospital.”
“The facility is immaculate and does not resemble a hospital or nursing home at all. There are lots of activities, places to sit or walk with interesting things to look at.”
