Cedar Ridge Elder Services I

Cedar Ridge Elder Services I is a small assisted living and memory care community in Schofield, Wisconsin, organized under Cedar Ridge Elder Service I & II, and sits at 4930 Alderson Street, just a little over two miles from Rothschild. The place is licensed as a Community Based Residential Facility (CBRF) and has room for up to 14 residents, which gives everyone a chance to know each other without feeling lost in the crowd. Folks living here get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, personal care, and medication reminders, with staff available around the clock to provide attentive care, including specialized help for people with Alzheimer's, irreversible dementia, or other memory problems. There's a mix of assisted living and memory care, respite care for short-term stays, hospice care for those who are terminally ill, and care for people who are physically disabled or advanced in age. The environment is built for safety, comfort, and accessibility, with a circular layout where private rooms sit along the outside and the central areas, like the dining, activity, and relaxation rooms, are in the middle. Rooms come with kitchenettes, air conditioning, TV and phone hookups, and space for pets. Meals are homemade, three times a day, with diets tailored for diabetes or high blood pressure when needed, plus snacks if someone's hungry between meals. Residents get laundry, housekeeping, and even dry cleaning, and nurses are available part time to check in or help coordinate medical visits and care with outside health providers when necessary. The building has safety features like keyed entry and a resident monitoring system to keep everyone safe, especially those with wandering concerns, and staff help with behavior support for dementia when needed. Folks can join in daily activities like exercise, art, music therapy, Bible study, cooking classes, outings, bingo, tabletop games, animal therapy, and movie nights. The facility has indoor and outdoor spaces, including walking paths, gardens, a shared courtyard that's busy in summer, a jacuzzi, aviaries for bird-watching, an aquarium with fish, and reading and wellness rooms. There's cable TV in the rooms and shared spaces, phones, air conditioning, and options for parking if family comes to visit. Hairdressers come in, and there's a salon on-site for personal care. The community organizes transportation for medical appointments, trips to nearby spiritual services, shopping, and errands in town. Meals are served in a dining room but folks can eat when they like, and the kitchen staff can handle food allergies or special diets. Cedar Ridge Elder Services I has a reputation for kind and cheerful staff, good food, and a culture of friendliness, with staff focused on respect and comfort for each resident. The small size helps keep everything personal, and the building's design means help is never far away, whether someone needs medical help, companionship, or just wants to spend time in the garden or watch birds in the aviary. The place has an average rating of 6 out of 10 and is the third highest-rated senior facility in the city, so while everything might not be perfect, there's a steady and caring environment here for folks who need extra support with daily living, memory care, or just want to enjoy their later years in a safe and helpful home.
