Cedarhurst of Columbia delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to individualized support that can be adjusted as health needs evolve. The community is equipped to manage wandering behaviors day or night, elopement risks, combative or other behavioral issues, and residents who stay awake throughout the night. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen therapy, special diet preparation, and diabetes management whether a resident takes oral medication, injections, or follows a sliding-scale regimen. Staff members also have experience working with residents under age 60 and those living with advanced dementia, ensuring that the setting can accommodate a broad range of cognitive and physical care requirements.
A licensed nurse is on site up to 16 hours each day, backed by an on-call team and 24-hour direct-care staff who have passed background checks. An awake night shift, door alarms, a fenced rear area, and personal emergency response systems help control access and keep residents safe. The community offers hospice coordination, medication management, incontinence services, ambulatory support, and an enclosed courtyard for secure outdoor time. Occupational and physical therapists, as well as a visiting podiatrist, round out the on-site clinical services. For activities of daily living, caregivers can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and they can help with mobility using a walker, wheelchair, standby support, or a one-person transfer as needed.
Apartments vary in size and layout, and not every unit has every feature, but options may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and individual climate controls. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided so residents do not have to manage routine chores on their own.
Meals follow a set menu that rotates regularly, and kitchen staff can modify recipes to meet physician-ordered or preference-based dietary restrictions. Snacks are available between meals, allowing residents to maintain consistent calorie and hydration intake.
Residents have access to on-site parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise and wellness rooms, a movie room, high-speed internet, communal gardens, and scheduled religious services. Scheduled transportation helps residents reach appointments or local events, and pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
