Cedarhurst of St. Charles provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, with programs built to support residents who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, exhibit combative behaviors, rely on oxygen, require special diets, or manage diabetes by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. The community also accepts residents with advanced dementia conditions, coordinating individualized care plans that address cognitive and physical needs while working closely with physicians and families.
Care delivery is reinforced by a nurse on site 24 hours a day, background-checked staff who remain awake throughout the night, and a secured environment featuring alarmed doors, a fenced rear area, and Wander Guard technology. An Activity Director oversees therapeutic programming, while on-site podiatry helps residents maintain foot health. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing and dressing, standby supervision for eating, and self-care encouragement for toileting. Mobility support extends to walkers, wheelchairs, standby or supervised ambulation, and one-person transfers.
Residences are designed for practicality and comfort. Floor plans may include a private bathroom, a kitchenette, and independent temperature controls; however, not every apartment contains all three features, so prospective residents should review specific layouts during a tour.
Dining follows an on-order approach that lets residents select meals at the time of service, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary team manages diet modifications, coordinating closely with nursing staff to accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, and other physician-prescribed meal plans.
Residents have access to parking, exterior smoking areas, fully wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, a wellness center, internet connectivity, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for outings and appointments. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
