My husband has been a resident at Maple Ridge for more than a year. The staff is very competent and caring. I feel confident that he is getting excellent care.

My mother has lived at Maple Ridge for almost three years now, and my family and I are extremely grateful for the loving care, support, and attention she receives from the staff and managers there. Anna, Jennese, and Joan proactively communicate with us about our mother's physical and emotional well-being. Along with Ruthie and Meg, they answer our questions without delay and always take time to explain the inevitable changes that Alzheimer's brings. The caregivers are truly dedicated to the residents and that dedication creates a special sense of warmth and community. The home itself is tucked in a quiet, leafy residential street, where we can safely take our mother outside for short walks or to sit on a bench and enjoy nature. In sum, my mother lives in a loving home with people whom we trust not only to care for her physically but also to respect and protect the person she once was and continues to be. We feel very fortunate to have found Maple Ridge.

Outstanding experience with value for monies spent. Loving and thoughtful care for both my father and mother in a smaller family style home in their Potomac Manor system from 2011-13 and in 2019-23. Caring staff with system longevity and thoughtful management.

When it comes to memory care homes, Maple Ridge is a gem tucked inn a cul-de-sac. My family and I are very pleased in having the staff of Maple Ridge care for our loved one. Everyone is friendly and competent in their efforts to keep her healthy and happy.

Friends, our mother was a resident of Cedar Creek homes for almost 10 years. What a gift to her and to us all! Shortly after our father passed, she was diagnosed with vascular dementia. We danced as hard as we could to keep her at home with support services, programs, overnight stays and so on and eventually it became too much for her. We visited several places, many of which were glitzy on the outside but 'lacking something' on the inside. We found that something at Cedar Creek. The first time I walked into Auxiliary House, the 7 residents were enjoying lunch together and an exhibit of one of their photos was on display. The home, and it was a REAL home, not an apartment block, was bright and sunny and residents each had their own room and bathroom. Their possessions were scattered throughout the house or hung on walls making everyone feel at home. I chatted with staff and the residents, and realized that this was the place for mom. Although her decline was torturous (as you probably know), the support, care and kindness of the staff was incredible. We were always welcome to visit and sometimes took mom and one of her new friends to church or out to lunch -- or just sat with her and others on the porch or watched a movie together. She also loved to fold laundry or attend to other simple tasks that gave her a sense of belonging and purpose. As she declined, mom had to move to another Cedar Creek home that was all on one level and had a slightly different level of care.. The staff made this transition as easy and comfortable as possible for all of us. This house, too, was homey, bright and sunny with individual rooms (but not bathrooms). And I was relieved to see that the same therapists (art, music, massage) who served Auxiliary House, also served here, providing wonderful continuity of care. A doctor was available, too. I could go on and on about the gift of Cedar Creek, but let me give you a few more examples of why these homes are special: mom felt safe, cared for and among friends. She began to bloom as an artist, sing favorite songs joyfully (after being told her whole life that she couldn't sing), engage in the communion services from StJane's church etc. And we loved it, too! We worked with staff and other families (now friends) to hold 'dinner parties', Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners and so on, engaging the residents as much as possible in preparation and cleanup. One of the staff even came in on her day off to check on the turkey! And when mom died many years later? Most of the same staff were still part of Cedar Creek, attesting to the value and wisdom of their model of staff teams and ongoing training. They even organized a memorial service for her at the home. I cannot speak highly enough about what Cedar Creek meant to Mom and to us. I'd be more than happy to speak with you, if you are considering this move. It saved all of our lives!

The last few years of my dads life, Maple Ridge was a home where Dad felt safe, loved and well taken care of. The staff treated dad with respect and understanding no matter his “mood”! Anna & Ruthie were always there for our family & for that we are truly blessed. To this day I am convinced, the Maple Ridge staff are angles in disguise!

My husband was at Maple Ridge for 5 years. He received loving, excellent care. Not only did they care for him, but for me as well. They trained the Staff often and especially to acknowledge each resident as a person with his/her own talents. If I ever had a complaint (all minor), it was looked into immediately. I still visit the Staff at Maple Ridge although he is no longer there.

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 -- were lucky to have found this home.

My mother lived the last few years of her life at Maple Ridge and received wonderful care there. I especially appreciated the pro-active thinking on the part of Anna, the administrator, and the great communication we established regarding Moms medical condition. Thanks to all of the staff there for all of their help.
