Cedarhurst of Springfield

We needed to find a place for my dad after he had an elopement at the facility where he resided. Turns out it’s hard to find a place that will accept men. Julie at CedarHurst made everything as easy as possible to make the transition. Marda is helpful with my requests. Very friendly and homey vibe. Food is good and staff attentive. Lots of activities. I think it’s a pretty good place so far. Dad would like to thank all of the staff for the best care he has received. He has been very happy here and everyone from the food servers (Susan) and kitchen staff to the nursing staff are so attentive. Marda, Julie and Nancy available for all his needs. Than you everyone!

All the staff are great. Marda & Julie are great to work with. Communication is excellent. I would text Julie with different things & she would respond quickly. Cedarhurst helped move my mom’s furniture in from our cars. Even the maintenance dept is great. They hung up her pictures & curtain rods. The place is very clean & spacious. The staff treats all the residents with respect & dignity. I had to move mom from one memory care to Cedarhurst because she needed more care & attention. I feel she is in a very safe environment. They have a LPN on 24 hours/day. They have their own physician whom I switched to, PT & OT dept & offer many activities. The food is good too. The monthly rent is higher than other facilities but they offer more services & can keep residents there until they pass which means no more moving. I’m happy she’s getting the care she needs. It’s a very good facility!

My husband & I would just like to express how much we appreciate the kindness we were shown from a group of employees from this establishment today during lunch. We chose to eat a Hinode for lunch & my three year old was having a bit of a breakdown from the overwhelming environment. The rest of the group we were sharing a table with was appearing to be celebrating the birthdays of a few of their employees. Rather than getting frustrated with a crying toddler, a man from the group whom I believe to be named Carl, went to his vehicle & brought back 2 ducks & a little Jesus for him to play with. I can’t remember the exact wording, but he said something a long the lines of “Everyone needs a little Jesus.” He couldn’t be more right. It had been a very hectic week for my family on top of having a medical procedure done that day so my emotions were on edge & I was growing anxious by the second the more my child whined out of fear the rest of the table would get frustrated. I don’t think he realized how much that little act of kindness & saying such a simple but true statement lifted such a huge weight off of us at lunch but also affected the rest of our day. My toddler interacted with a few other ladies at the table & never once made a fuss that a little kid was playing under their feet to hide from the sensory overload of the restaurant. I also heard what I’m assuming is their team lead or manager praise them as a group for the work they do & I wanted to comment how much I respected her for that. So many employees feel undervalued & under appreciated regularly so I enjoyed hearing that praise for your employees/coworkers. Overall, it was a reminder of the work God does in this world even when we aren’t realizing how much we need that interaction from one of his faithful servants. I can’t speak on the establishment in a way that I haven’t experienced but in reference to their employees, they are visibly a group of respectful, kind, considerate people & I have zero doubts in their ability to perform their duties in regards to their workplace to their highest capacity with full compassion. 🫶🏼

We are so thankful our mom is at Cedarhurst in Springfield! The staff is so caring and my mom loves the food there. She also has a private room which is soo comfortable!!
