Bonaventure

We're very pleased overall with Cedar Ridge! The people here are very friendly and got to know my folks quickly. The facility itself is well kept and clean, and they do a great job looking out for the residents.

We toured here when we were looking around and this was a very nice place as well. The only reason we didn't pick this one, was location. The other community we were looking at was a little closer to the doctor, and all the appointments.

My dad has only been there for about a month so, we are still ironing out wrinkles but, overall, it seems to be on par with the other facilities we toured. It's reasonably valued. The staff seems to be friendly and seem to genuinely care about the residents.

My mom was looking for a place to live close to the family but where she could still feel in charge of her life. Silver Creek has really filled the bill. She has a lovely apartment, with activities she enjoys. The staff is so friendly that she felt at home very quickly. I was worried that she would find it hard to use the shuttle to go to the store, but one of the other residents invited her to go together. Her only complaint is that everyone is so forgetful :) She is so much happier than she was living with us. She is more engaged and active, enjoys the activities and entertainment and says she needs to watch all the desserts! Mom gets to see us when she wants, enjoys people her age and have everything in her own space just the way she wants. It may not be quite as perfect as being in her own home, but at 93 she no longer wanted to keep up a 4 bedroom home for just herself over 2 hours away from all the rest of her family. It is wonderful to know she is close and happy.

They have excellent care. It's brand new and beautiful. They have wonderful programs and activities, but they are a little on the expensive side. It was just a lot to pay, we found comparable and even a little better care for almost half the price.

My mom was just there for respite for one week. The care was good and the activities were okay. I think they have some activities but it's a pretty sedate facility. I don't know how many people participate but it seemed like there are about 45 people there, there might be 4 that participate in any given activity so it's not a very lively group and by 6 o'clock everything shuts down. There is really nothing going on after dinner. That was too bad because my mom is kind of a night owl and really enjoys socializing after dinner. Besides that she really enjoyed it. It's a nice facility, fairly small. Overall I though it was great.

Have not met many people working there but those said that I have have been nice. My brother is getting Good service. Few of the places a little bit expensive but where aren't they?

Bonaventure was the right fit, location and the level of care required for our family member. Food is ok, but could use a boost in flavor, generally pretty bland. Facilities are maintained well. Management seems to be turmoil, several changes since we've been there.

I like the closet and storage space in the unit. Maintenance is fairly fast in addressing problems. One thing they should improve on is to increase the size of servings of vegetables in the meals! It is often very inadequate.

Bonaventure staff is wonderful. They are very attentive to the changing needs of the residents. In hindsight I wish I had been more focused while reviewing the care plan. It is very important in transitioning.

It is a beautiful facility with a caring and supportive staff. I would recommend them to others who are searching for a place for their loved one.

4 overall. What we like the most about Cedar Ridge is the low crime, quaint, and friendly

Staff performance was a strong 5. I thought the price was way too high unless you had Medicaid. The recommendation for the facility is 5 if you can afford it, but for people in my income bracket it was a 2

Silver Creek provided the best guarantee of assistance for our needs. My husband was at the end of his life, I need assistance with his final weeks. While things weren't perfect (if that exists anywhere), [name removed] and [name removed] made his last 5 weeks as positive as possible.

My mom is on the independent side so I can't speak for the assisted side and to the level of care or responsiveness. My mom is in a 2 bedroom right now and she loves it. It is like an actual apartment. Big kitchen, big pantry, dining area, good size living room and a hallway to bed and bath. Activities are great! In addition to the regular bingo and cards they have a pub that is open to public on Fri-Sun. Usually every weekend they do something on top of weekly activities, sip and paint, farmers market and car show, day at the races, football game activities. A circus/ carnival theme last weekend. The van is great at getting to appts, shopping, and fun activities. Scenic drives, casino trips, and trips to restaurants. Whenever my mom has needed work done, ie: light bulb change, leak..... they've always been quick to fix it. The only negative is maybe the food sometimes. But overall, I think it's ok. But it is expensive.

They were very nice, good food, beautiful facility and my MIL liked it the short time she was there. I gave a 4 because there were times they were a bit disorganized. I would recommend to others. If I lived closer and was in need of assisted living, I would live there.

There are lots of really fun activities for all activity levels. The facility is really well maintained. I think the food is pretty good. They always have a specific meal of the day plus a list of every day options that include a hamburger, a salad, and other standard fair. The food is much better than when he was living at [community removed]. It takes a lot of coordination for changes in medication and care, there can be some hurdles to get paperwork from doctors. I really appreciate Bonaventure's documentation system as I can always get a printout of what time and who gave medication's every day. They also track when showers are given and other caregiver tasks.

The building has a lovely interior courtyard that is entirely enclosed and accessible to residents for fresh air. Staff is excellent. Very responsive and friendly. Food is good, freshly prepared and dining area is comfortable. The beauty shop is a really nice feature on site. The field trips look interesting though my family member is too impaired and hasn't actually participated. Sometimes there are traffic issues getting in and out of West Salem. I like that it is a dedicated memory care building but the population is 40. Capacity is 40 and the building is large so less intimate than some other spaces.

Very frustrating until he got his room settled. Was supposed to be a five day delay that kept getting pushed back. So he was there with no official services as he was concerned a guest staying in a guest room. Communication with office was us constantly calling them to check on his situation. They always had a reason for the delay. Almost pulled him out and move him elsewhere. Now that it's all behind us now my brother is thriving well. He enjoys the food and people there. No more anxieties on the family.

Both my parents live at Bona Venture one in independent one was memory care. The independent care. Food is always served cold, and service very slow. Un memory care. It took a long time to get food to the residence because they use the same kitchen as independent. Sometimes my mom did not get breakfast until eight or 830 and she’d been there since 730.
