Cedar Crest Alzheimer Special Care Center

Cedar Crest staff have been wonderful with assisting with my Dad’s care. We appreciate the many activities he enjoys (which until Now he would not have chosen to take part in). He feels very welcome and enjoys most of his days there. Thank you Cedar Crest.

Caregiving and activities staff are great! I cannot say enough about how patient, kind, and attentive the caregiving staff are with my mom. It gives me such peace of mind knowing she is treated with genuine compassion and care. My mother especially loves the musical guests who come several times a month. She also enjoys the personal attention from the activities staff, whether they are dancing with her, painting her nails, or simply encouraging her to participate. Those little moments mean so much to her—and to me. I am also amazed at how much thought, creativity, and effort goes into their fundraising events. They consistently make them feel high-end, engaging, and truly special for the residents and their families. I am incredibly grateful to the entire caregiving and activities team for everything they do to make my mom feel cared for, included, and valued. They truly go above and beyond!

Mom enjoys the availability of the garden where many residents help plant flowers and vegetables. They care for them and people often feel at ease in this beautiful, safe and intentional space near the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge. The best outdoor space of any of the many facilities we have visited.

I have attended 3 events at Cedar Crest where I brought my granddaughter. The first event was a spaghetti dinner. My granddaughter got happily messy and entertained many of the residents. I have also attended a "nature walk" where we visited a neighboring home for seniors. At that facilities the residents had created a garden. Plus staff and maintenance staff had designed a vegetable and flower garden intertwined. The third event was the 4th of July bash. My granddaughter delighted in running around (she's two) meeting residents, eating watermelon, and playing with anything she could get her hands on. The residents coddled her, so she was thrilled! The Engagement Director, Sarah. was wonderful

My name is Tian. My father, Brent Rufener, has been a resident here for about a year now. This lady, Teri, who is from the activity department has been a positive and upbeat person who puts in so much effort to put a smile on every residents face including my dad's. She always tries to make everyone feel included and seen there even if they're in another place in their minds which unfortunately most of them are. Teri has always been really nice to me and I feel happier when I see her. She runs activities like mocktails, baking class, bingo and dancing. I can tell she really cares about everyone at Cedar Crest from her kindness and how personable she is. I think CC would be really boring without her, so I'm very thankful my father gets to receive some fun because of her and her activities.
