Cedarhurst of Highland

Cedarhurst of Highland is an assisted living and memory care community located in Highland, Illinois, minutes from HSHS St. Joseph's Hospital and local shopping and dining. The single-story, step-free floor plan offers private, wheelchair-accessible apartments with spacious bathrooms, kitchenettes, and 24-hour emergency call systems, available in studio, one- and two-bedroom configurations.

The community provides assisted living and specialized memory care for residents with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Staff are available 24/7 to assist with daily tasks and household chores while supporting residents' independence. Memory care is grounded in evidence-based practices recognized by the Alzheimer's Association, with customized care plans, familiar routines, and meaningful activities designed to offer comfort and a sense of belonging.

On-site services include physical, occupational, and speech therapy for recovery and mobility maintenance. All-day dining features fresh, seasonal meals made from scratch in a restaurant-style setting with rotating menus and options for special diets including heart-healthy, gluten-free, low-sodium, and diabetic-friendly choices. Residents enjoy flexible dining hours and breakfast available anytime.

The community's Living TRUE program creates personalized experiences reflecting residents' interests and sense of purpose. Activities and events are rooted in seven dimensions of wellness—intellectual, spiritual, physical, environmental, creative and emotional, purposeful living, and social. Residents have access to recreational outings, bus trips to local businesses, nature trails, and opportunities for volunteering. Pets are welcome, with outdoor landscaped courtyards available for walking and relaxation.

The community encourages family involvement through optional communication via the Caremerge app and welcomes family members to participate in activities and special events. The Pair to Prepare program allows a spouse, relative, or friend to stay with new residents at no extra cost for their first five days, easing the transition to community living.
