Heading into Thanksgiving week🦃🍁, we are filled with the spirit of thanks and giving. Today, residents volunteered their time and efforts at Feed My Starving Children🤝💖. This Christian non-profit organization relies on volunteers and donations to feed the world's hungry children ...in body and spirit.

Labeling, packing, and sealing packages filled with goodness destined for little hearts across Africa. 🌍✨ Sandra took a trip down memory lane to her Del Monte days but declared, "This is way more satisfying—our efforts are reaching hungry kids worldwide!" 😊🍲 We hit our stride, playfully dubbing ourselves a "factory of love." 💪❤️

Wishing everyone a Thanksgiving filled with gratitude, warmth, and the spirit of giving!

Excitement is blooming at Rigden Farm as our seniors embark on a new adventure – crafting Rose Petal Lotion Bars in our very own apothecary! 🌹💫 The fragrance of roses fills the air as our creative seniors combine nature’s beauty with their skilled hands to make these delightful bars.

This Veterans Day 🇺🇸 , we want to shine a light on one of the remarkable souls in our senior community, a true American hero - Jack. A veteran of the United States Navy, Jack's story is a testament to bravery, service, and humility. Jack was a ship mechanic stationed right here in the ...heart of the United States.

Jack stands as a living testament to a bygone era in the company of over 16 million Americans who served during World War II. Today, with less than 120,000 veterans from that time still among us, Jack's presence is a precious link to a chapter in history that shaped our world.

One of the most remarkable qualities about Jack is his reluctance to consider himself any different from his fellow veterans. He embodies the spirit of unity that binds those who have served, recognizing the shared sacrifice and dedication that defines their collective experience.

So, let's join together in expressing our gratitude to Jack and all veterans, not just on this special day but every day. Let's honor their service, their sacrifices, and the enduring legacy of freedom they have bestowed upon us.

Thank you, Jack, for your selfless service and the quiet inspiration you bring to our community. Your humility and dedication are an inspiration to us all ❤️ 💙

Hear From Residents and Family of Cedar Lake Assisted Living & Memory Care!

Cedar Lake surpassed our expectations. The facility was clean, well maintained, and residents look happy and healthy. Kelly took the time to answer all of our questions and concerns. She was very personable and informative.

I want to send out a big thank you to the staff at Cedar Lake. So very compassionate and are taking good care of my mom, Josephine Basquel. They have gone beyond to make sure she is comfortable and happy.A special shout out to Wendy and Elizabeth at the front desk who have made sure my mom’s Xmas gifts were brought to her room and the batteries needed were in place and that she knew who they were from.I can’t tell you how much you all have lifted my spirits during this COVID pandemic when I’m not able to go home and visit her.Gratefully,Judy McCosky

We checked out many places for my Mom, and Cedar Lake stood out from all the rest. Mom moved in last month and she loves living there. The staff are all very nice people and genuinely seem to care about my mom. She now has people to help her with anything that she needs, and she still has all her own furniture in her own apartment. Our family is glad to have found a great place for her.

My Mom is 94 and has been recently diagnosed with Dementia. She can still function well, but needs alot of Cueing. We chose Cedar Lake because of the Residence Club program that seems to be a combination of Assisted Living and Memory Care. Mom moved in 2 weeks ago and has adjusted very well. The Staff is exceptional. Each and everyone we have met that works there, is well trained and very Caring. They havea wonderful daily program of activities to keep Mom active and socializing. The facilities are immaculate and the food is quite good. There were no surprises as everything was clearly explained in advance. So far, I do not think that Mom could be in a better Place, and that is very comforting to me.

This is the most beautiful place I’ve seen by far, as I tour places for my Father. The entire experience was wonderful! Shirley is a beautiful, caring, all around wonderful person!! My tour with her was so nice, and comforting... She really made me feel so much better, and calmed my nerves so much. I’d refer this beautiful home, to anyone without thinking twice!! If you’re having a hard time finding a wonderful place for your loved one... go see Shirley!!! You won’t be disappointed!!

This has been an excellent move and new home for my mother. She is out of her apartment most of the day, enjoying activities or just spending time in the lobby. That was not the case in her prior independent senior residence. The staff is very caring and interacts with my mother affectionately. The food is plentiful, and there is a danger of weight gain, perhaps--but no worries about keeping elders hydrated. I really like the smaller community where there is plenty to do but everything feels personal and unhurried.

My Dad has been at the memory care unit for a few years, basically since soon after Cedar lake opened. I have found the staff to be very nice and enjoy the fact that the fun/activities manager and Memory Care Director are interested in who and what makes my Dad the person he is although the disease has changed him so much. The dignity of the person suffering from Dementia could be so compromised because of what occurs throughout the course of the disease, yet these folks are preserving the person and personality that was once there and is still inside. I commend them for that. The caregivers are great. Your loved ones are in good hands!

Moving my mom into assisted living was not an easy decision, but I couldn't be happier that we chose Cedar Lake. From our initial visit to our moving-in day to her continued care, the staff has made every step of this transition easier. Everyone knows her by name and knows her specific needs, and the open communication let's me know that she is getting great care. She is also very active in the fitness program and attends many of the social events. Knowing that she is safe and happy means the world to my family! I can't recommend Cedar Lake enough.
