Residential memory care homes are better suited for individuals who value a home-like, intimate environment and personalized care.

Our memory care communities are small and maintain strict staff-to-resident ratios to ensure a high standard of care. For example, the Clifton Woods memory care community accepts just eight residents and has a staff-to-resident ratio of 1:3 in the morning and 1:4 in the evening. Our Alzheimer’s care facility at Cedar Glen maintains similar staffing ratios, with patients living in private rooms and having the opportunity to take part in a variety of tailored life-enriching activities throughout the day. Our low-capacity memory care communities enable us to truly get to know each patient and provide a better continuity of care than a memory care unit at a large facility. Our trained caregivers know the needs and preferences of each of their patients and can deliver the specialized care they need on any given day. ![AX scrabble](https://cedarcreekassoc.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/AX-scrabble.jpg "AX scrabble") ### Discover Excellence in Memory Care at Cedar Creek Our dementia care homes provide memory care services to seniors living with dementia, including those in the early stages of the condition and those with more serious needs.

Creative activities. I can’t say enough positive things about my 11 year experience at this home. You will sleep well at night knowing your family member is in the best possible hands. #### Joanne Irving I cannot say enough positive things about the wonderful care and attention my mother receives from the superb staff at the Cedar Creek Homes. I feel blessed to have found them. #### Mary Goldstein Hillwood is Amazing! My Uncle has been there since October of 2019 and he is very happy. If you want your love one to be safe, happy and well cared for this is the place for them! I am so thankful for all the staff and management do for my Uncle. #### Tracy Perkins Mom moved from Auxiliary House to Hillwood when she needed more care. Both houses are managed by Cedar Creek. Fabulous company that knows dementia inside and out and cares for the residents in small homes (not institutional entities). Staff are great and have a long tenure with the company, the management is helpful and informed, and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide. Strongly recommend. It was a great place for Mom. #### Dave Chapman My mother lives here. Ruthie and Anna are the best, not just for managing the facility and communicating to families, but for being visionary and pro-active during these very trying times. I never wonder if my mom is well cared for. Thanks to all the staff for everything they do for all the residents, not just my mom — we’re lucky to have found this home. #### Ann Moseley My mother has been in Cedar Glen for two and a half years. It was the second facility I visited and my search stopped there. It’s a genuine home, not at all institutional, where all the residents are known and loved as individuals. It’s also very professionally run and there are clearly systems in place to ensure high standards of care. Staff turnover seems almost nonexistent. It’s exactly what a care home should be and I feel so lucky to have found it. #### Kathy Sabatier My mother has been a resident at Auxiliary House for over 4 years. We feel so fortunate to have found this wonderful place where the staff care so deeply for all the residents. #### Elaine Kallen Fertig After visiting other facilities I chose Auxiliary House for my father as the staff was very one-on-one, dedicated, caring and their personal involvement with my father was outstanding – also making the family feel reassured and comfortable. #### Ashley Dotson Madison This community was great! They were very helpful and informative, and had a lot to offer for a much lower price then a lot of the other surrounding communities! Also love how all their homes are memory care homes in a small intimate environment!
