Cedarhurst of Springfield

The community was always clean and tidy in the hallways when I visited. I believe the community could have done a better job at cleaning my loved one's room, though. Due to certain medical conditions of your loved one, you may need to provide the items to the community. The other option they may offer is to charge you for these items. There is a doctor and PA that will come visit the community at least once a week. The nurse will call to let me know if anything changes with my loved one. The community will be having a bus to take the residents to see the Christmas lights, while social distancing.

Since the lock down we really haven't much interaction with the community, however we really liked the place. When we first went there they were extremely nice and everything looked great. they were very helpful with moving our loved one in. During this time we have had to rely heavily on the internet and telephone for communication and they have done a great job. They are also no longer Maple Wood they are now Cedar Hurst of Springfield.

Positive impression during the tour and good communication with the staff. A good option.

Excellent, lovely facility, [Name removed] was first rate in reception, tour and thorough explanation of facility. She had wonderful caring empathy for her residents and understanding of each individuals situation. Took time to get to understand the possible new resident by engaging me in conversation regarding who he is and his specific needs. A+

Horrible place for someone to be!

The staff was really helpful and answered all of my questions. The food was good we ate lunch here. But mom didn't like that they had no options on food. Over all mom didn't like it she would have had to share a room and a bathroom and they were more expensive. Mom also noticed that not much activity was going on just a bunch of elderly people sitting in wheelchairs not looking healthy.

Maple Wood Alzheimer's Special Care is a great fit for my father, he was not too happy having to make the move there but the staff has been working with him in his transition. I would give the staff a 5+ rating as they are so caring, friendly and they enjoy having my father there. They address him by his first name and he is learning all of their names as well. They keep me well informed both in person and by phone. My dad is in a private room and they keep it very clean. In the dining room, they make sure there is an equal mix of both men and women at the tables so they can socialize. There is also a separate dining room for the residents that have advanced dementia and need help eating. The activities that they offer a just great. There is music they have guests who come in to read books to the residents, there are exercise classes, arts & crafts, puzzles. And they have an 18 seater bus that takes the residents out every 2 weeks on field trips for picnics in the parks, to the zoo and other places. They also have 24-hour nursing and a doctor who comes once a month for wellness checks and to monitors the resident's meds. I am so grateful for the help A Place for Mom was able to give me in placing my dad here at Maple Wood Alzheimer's Special Care as I had no clue where to even start searching for a place for him.
