Cedar Community is proud to announce their memory care, The Cottages at Cedar Run, received a Dementia Specific™ designation through LeadingAge Wisconsin. LeadingAge Wisconsin is a mission driven, not-for-profit, member-supported, statewide association serving as a leader in advancing the field of long-term care through advocacy, education, and the development of collaborative strategies for its members and the general public.

The Dementia Care Designation System© is a tool designed to increase accountability and transparency among dementia care providers. A Dementia Specific™ designation identifies Cedar Community  as a facility dedicated to a holistic philosophy that embraces and fosters individualized dementia-centered care and support. The designation level was determined based on the following five modules–supportive and therapeutic environment; information, education, and support; assessment and care planning; life enrichment; and workforce. 

Cedar Community offers best-in-class memory care for those with Alzheimer’s and dementia– providing care, support, love and dignity to each resident. “Exceptional dementia care is not just about managing symptoms; it’s about creating an environment where individuals can experience moments of joy, purpose, and a sense of belonging,” says Jen Fullhart, vice president of assisted living.
