Cedarhurst of Waterloo offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to different levels of support under one roof. Assisted Living residents receive help with activities such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, all supervised by licensed nurses who are on site or on call around the clock. The Memory Care neighborhood is designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia and provides 24-hour oversight, secure entry points, and staff trained in dementia-specific techniques. Regular health assessments, coordination with physicians, and routine monitoring help the team adjust care plans as conditions change.

Beyond daily assistance, the community maintains an on-site therapy room where physical, occupational, and speech therapists can work with residents under physician orders. Visiting primary-care doctors, podiatrists, and other specialists conduct regular rounds, reducing the need for outside trips. An electronic health record system tracks medications and lab results, and every apartment is equipped with an emergency call system that links directly to staff. Scheduled transportation to off-site medical appointments, support with insurance paperwork, and coordination for hospice or respite services are also available.

Apartments range from studio to one-bedroom layouts, each with varying features such as kitchenettes, walk-in showers with grab bars, individual climate control, and wireless internet; not every unit includes every feature, so it is important to review specific floor plans during a tour. Weekly housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance are bundled into the monthly fee. Some units are pet-friendly, and pets are allowed under certain community guidelines. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

Residents receive three daily meals prepared by culinary staff who can accommodate physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, gluten-free, or mechanical-soft options. Memory Care menus are simplified and served in a quieter dining space to reduce confusion and encourage adequate nutrition. A bistro station offers snacks and beverages throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Not all apartments have kitchenettes for personal meal preparation, so most residents rely on the main dining program for their nutritional needs.
