What families are saying

We’ve gathered and summarized real family reviews from across the internet for you. Contact a Seniorly representative for details.
Reviews of Cambridge Senior Living in Rice Lake are largely positive, emphasizing the beautiful, clean, modern building, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly, compassionate staff. Families frequently praise caregivers for treating residents like family, learning their names, supporting relatives through difficult transitions, and helping residents feel safe and socially connected. Activities, enclosed courtyards, common areas, organized “pod” layouts, and strong activity programming are highlighted as major benefits. Several reviewers say their loved ones are thriving through medication management, socialization, dementia support, and personal care. The move-in process and administrative guidance are also described as thorough and helpful, while hospice coordination and family communication received praise. Some residents and families note that the community is well maintained, accommodating, and suitable for pets. Tours are often described as impressive, with spacious amenities and an inviting, hotel-like appearance. However, a few criticisms appear. One reviewer felt the community was somewhat institutional, while another reported that rooms are relatively small. Food reviews are mixed: some found meals satisfactory or very good, but another strongly criticized the quality given the cost. Staff turnover was also mentioned as an ongoing challenge. The most serious feedback involves alleged shortcomings in care for residents requiring skilled nursing or close supervision. One family reported repeated falls, inadequate fall-prevention measures, inconsistent bedside checks, and rooms left with soiled laundry and blood after hospital transfers. Another review similarly questioned whether care plans and fall mitigation were consistently followed. These accounts resulted in a tragic death and raise significant concerns about whether the facility can meet complex nursing-care needs. Overall, reviews portray a caring, attractive community, but prospective families should carefully assess staffing, fall prevention, clinical capabilities, food quality, and costs.
