Cambridge Warren Senior Living

The staff members we encountered were all very friendly, but during our loved ones stay the activities were still pretty limited. It also was nice to have the memory care unit separate from the other side, it seemed like they had them more under control and could look out for them better.

I toured Cambridge Warren Senior Living for my mother. It is a lovely setting right in downtown Warren. It's right on the river, the Allegheny River, so they have an outdoor patio area, and their dining rooms are overlooking the river. They had a courtyard in the middle of the facility, but it was outdoors, and it was a very nice courtyard for people to be in. I think there was a small gazebo in there. I liked it because it was a smaller facility. I think they have 60 beds, and that also includes memory care. I felt the residents would probably have a little more one on one interaction with the staff because it being a smaller facility. They had suites with a living area, separate bedroom, little kitchen nook, and bathroom. The only downside is the place used to be a motel, so they have built a wall, and I think it was the outside entrances to the motel. They have built a glass wall along the hallway, so now it's interior, but the problem is there is one step up into each suite. For people like my mother, it would be a difficult task to handle, if you're on a walker. They had a lovely activity room with floor-to-ceiling windows, they had a theater with actual theater seats where they do movies, and two beautiful dining rooms.

Front line continue to be very receptive and helpful . It has been difficult to get in contact with the new manager. COVID has made it difficult to contact loved ones, as everywhere. I would like to see some sheltered areas on the front or back porch so residents can get outside. The facility is older, but more affordable than many nearby.

One thing that we really liked when we were first visiting Cambridge was how our loved one could have their own room, and decorate it and set it up however they wanted. We thought that was nice since it would be more personable and homey. This community was known for having a good chef, so from what we could tell the food was excellent. We would recommend this community to another family or friend.

As sole caretaker of a husband with Alzheimer's, I was delighted to have Cambridge taking care of him for two weeks while I got some rest. The Director, Karen L., was terrific with communication - because of the virus, I was not allowed in (we had toured earlier) and so Karen sent me a picture of the room and responded immediately if I had any questions. The staff that I met seemed caring and capable. Unless you've dealt with Alzheimers directly, you cannot fathom how difficult it is - Cambridge was a life saver for me and I intend to use them again. They understand this disease and know how to handle it.
