Maple Ridge

In 1995, we started Cedar Creek because we saw a big gap in assisted living choices
for people with dementia. We strongly believe people with memory loss feel safer and more secure in small homes like the ones they've lived in all their lives. At our homes in Montgomery County, our residents live their lives with a sense of normalcy and a lot of joy. We believe true dementia care is about an intimate relationship with our residents and a strong partnership with our families. We believe in meeting our residents where they are. This means understanding who they are--what their life is--and has been about. With an appreciation for their uniqueness, we craft our program to their needs and abilities. Maintaining a sense of routine and familiarity is at the heart of our program. This might mean supervised cooking or daily walks. Probably singing and hopefully some dancing. We keep our residents involved and contributing--sweeping the patio, stirring cookie batter--encouraging a sense of purpose and supporting them along the way. We're not about bureaucracy, we're about finding solutions and making life better for people who have little control over their minds and fewer choices about their lives than any of us would want.
