These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 52% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Cedar Creek Post Acute has undergone significant leadership changes recently, with many reviewers noting a marked improvement in cleanliness, staff attentiveness, and overall atmosphere. While many families report excellent experiences with the rehab and nursing teams, there remains a persistent pattern of critical complaints regarding severe understaffing, neglect of basic hygiene, and poor communication during medical emergencies.

Key Review Excerpts
“The new administration has really improved this facility 100%. They work hard making changes for improvement. My Sister has been there for years. She is a very demanding person and they have been attentive to her.”
“My brother stayed here for a few days after a recent hospital stay. The place is clean and much nicer than when my grandmother was here years ago, but they are short staffed to the point they are not able to adequately care for their patients.”
“After some time and experience with Cedar Creek, I’m changing my review to 4 stars. Cedar Creek has HEART. We were previously at NHC Sumner who dumped her into a psych hospital that totally wrecked her. I feel like I am working with a team of people who CARE.”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 4 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
