    Friendly staff, later poor care

    I liked the family-run, small, intimate feel and found the admissions director and many staff professional, friendly, and genuinely caring - my initial impression and activities were good. Over time administration slipped: activities stopped, housekeeping was inconsistent, food and dish cleanliness were poor and I even found bedbugs; they require an upfront payment and lacked transparency, and they can't handle severe medical needs. It's worth a look for low-care residents, but proceed with caution.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed: several reviewers describe a warm, small, family-run facility with friendly and caring staff and good day-to-day resident care, while others report serious operational and cleanliness problems that significantly detract from the experience. The positive comments emphasize personable interactions and an intimate atmosphere; the negative comments focus on declining or inconsistent administrative oversight, housekeeping failures, and hygiene concerns.

    Staff and care quality are recurring and somewhat contradictory themes. Multiple reviewers praise professional, friendly, and caring staff and say residents receive good care and that the community is worth considering. At the same time, at least one review specifically mentions negative staff attitudes. Importantly, reviewers consistently flag that the facility is not equipped to manage severe medical needs — framing Cambridge Pointe as a better fit for residents with lower-level care requirements. The combination of a family-run, small-scale operation and generally positive caregiver remarks suggests a personal touch for appropriate residents, but also raises concerns about capacity for more complex clinical cases.

    Facilities, cleanliness, and dining generate some of the strongest negative feedback. Several reviewers report inadequate housekeeping, dirty dishes, and poor food quality. One reviewer explicitly alleges bedbugs, which is a serious hygiene and safety concern and stands out as a high-priority red flag. These reports, paired with comments about a lack of regular housekeeping, point to inconsistent environmental maintenance and food-service standards that can materially affect resident comfort and health.

    Activities and management/administration emerge as another clear pattern. Multiple reviews note that activities were good at the start but later diminished or stopped, and there are complaints about a lack of visible administrative leadership over time. Coupled with comments about lack of transparency and an upfront payment requirement, these points create a narrative of initial strong impressions that may not be sustained. The upfront payment and perceived opacity in communication are financial and ethical concerns for prospective residents and families.

    In sum, Cambridge Pointe appears to offer a small, intimate, family-oriented environment with caring staff and good day-to-day attention for residents whose needs are not medically complex. However, reviewers also report significant operational shortcomings — including housekeeping failures, food and dish cleanliness problems, a reported bedbug issue, waning activity programs, inconsistent administrative presence, and concerns about transparency and staff attitudes. These mixed signals suggest the facility may be a good match for some (those prioritizing a small, personal setting and lower medical needs) but carries enough red flags that prospective residents and families should investigate the specific cleanliness, pest control, staffing consistency, activity scheduling, contract/payment terms, and medical capability details before committing.

    About Cambridge Pointe

    Cambridge Pointe offers several senior living choices, like assisted living, independent living, memory care, and skilled nursing, so folks can find what fits their needs best, and they'll find staff that aim to know residents as people, not just names, creating a real sense of care whether someone's living there for a little while with respite care or calling it home for the long run. The staff are on site around the clock, ready to help with things like medication, bathing, dressing, and moving about, and therapists visit to do speech, occupational, or physical therapy, while doctors and nurses check in often, so residents can stay as healthy as possible. Folks can bring their cats or dogs, and there are activities for pets, as well as a full calendar run by dedicated activity directors, with classes like art, stretching, and brain fitness programs such as Dakim, and folks can get out for trips or field outings or just enjoy music nights, movies, games, and singalongs inside. There's a barber shop and beauty salon to help keep everyone looking tidy, and for relaxation, people can spend time by the fireplace, on the patio, or chatting in the TV lounge, or join friends in the game room, movie theater, or raised garden beds outside. Cambridge Pointe keeps meals flexible, offering chef-inspired dining with gluten-free, no sugar, and low or no sodium options, plus room service or guest meals for company, and snacks are always on hand so no one's left hungry. The community runs many religious services, with Catholic and Protestant options, on site and off, with visiting chaplains or priests and regular devotional activities. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services are available, the living areas stay organized, and all rooms-private, semi-private, or studio-have included utilities, Wi-Fi, phone, and cable or satellite TV, with no hidden fees tacked on. Residents have on-campus parking, and the place welcomes smokers outdoors. For health concerns, the staff help with ambulatory care, diabetic needs, incontinence, and they coordinate offsite needs like dialysis, mobile labs, and even hospice care, so families know support is always close by. Cambridge Pointe likes to keep folks connected and active, with intergenerational programs, birthday and holiday parties, lifelong learning, trivia, and visits from musical and dance groups, so life stays lively and bright. The community belongs to the Priority Life Care family, and above all, works to blend needed help and independence for every person, adjusting care plans as life changes, to make the best out of every day.
