Cedarbrook is such a wonderful place for all ages. I am extremely you g to be here but it was the best decision that they had to put me here. I have a condition where my nerves in my legs are not working as they should be, but I was sent here after my hospital stay and it has been such a fantastic stay here. All of the activities keep me out of my room and I always love spending time with the residents. I don t ever want to leave but I know if the future that my stay is going to come to an end. But I give Cedarbrook five stars and I recommend sending Elders here, they will have the time of their lives.

Worst place on earth. There are some nice nurses but everyone else is heartless. Don t send your loved ones here.

The worst place please don't leave your family here. Nurses just yell at the elderly. They did a horrible job managing Covid-19. My grandmother passed away from covid 19 because she was in this nursing home.

Try minus 5 stars! My mother was only supposed to be there for physical therapy after a hospital stay. They never gave her the clean clothes I brought, made her keep her bed practically to the floor. AND left a UTI untreated which lead to sepsis and delirium! The only thing done right was finally getting her to a hospital. Before this happened She told me how rude and snobby the nurses were to the elderly patients especially the ones unable to stand up to them. I find this beyond sad and it majes me very angry!

What a horrible place. The smell and the treatment of the residents is horrible. Go in the morning when they are herding the residents to the bathroom( toilets are all next to another) no privacy.

Turn away from this facility. I had a family member here that was not treated with care and compassion. The meds that were prescribed here added to much confusion of the mind. There was evidence of bruising on various parts of the body due to cruel treatment. Charges were filed. Very difficult to know what's happening at this facility because there is no visitors allowed due to Covid-19. Doesn't seem to have any accountbility here. This family member has been relocated and is now of clear mind and doing much better.

This nursing home gives minimal car to the residents. When patients are on a pureed diet with thickened liquids. Little to no training is done to teach nursing staff and aids how that needs to be done in a correct manor. Also, when patients are dealing with dementia good training needs to be done with nursing staff and aids on how to deal with these types of patients. I have not seen physical abuse at this facility; but, I have witnessed verbal abuse. Again, training of staff is so important on how a patient needs to be treated and what is considered abuse when nursing staff and aids interact with dementia patients. I have also come into my brothers room and found an over-powering smell of urine. What was sad was he had just been served breakfast under these horrible conditions. I have come into his room at noon and found again the strong smell of urine, his bed not changed or made up, I found him in the dining that day and he had a bad smell about him. Many of his personal items have gone missing. They were not expensive items; but, some had great sentimental value to him and the family. It is so discouraged to see how nursing home facilities often treat the very weak of our society. They have no voice, other than family trying to get better care for these patients. I know funding is a major issue and they get what society is willing to contribute.
Cedarbrook is in very bad disrepair, also. The place is very depressing to visit.
I have not seen things improve under Good Shepherd managing it; if anything, things have gotten worse.
