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, highlighting the attractive, clean, modern building; private rooms; well-designed community areas; enclosed courtyards; engaging activities; and welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere. Many families praise the staff for being friendly, compassionate, responsive, and knowledgeable. Residents and relatives frequently mention that employees learn residents’ names, provide individualized support, assist with dementia care and medication management, and help families navigate admissions, paperwork, hospice, and changing care needs. Several reviewers say their loved ones are happy, socially engaged, safe, and thriving, while others appreciate the pet-friendly policy, flexible schedules, and opportunities for family connection. Tours are commonly described as impressive, with positive comments about the layout, amenities, dining spaces, activity programming, and staff professionalism. A smaller number of reviews raise significant concerns. One family reported that the facility accepted their 97-year-old grandmother despite her need for skilled nursing care, after which she experienced multiple falls, serious injuries, and ultimately died. They also criticized the facility for failing to clean soiled laundry, blood, and other materials after hospital transfers. Another reviewer similarly felt that fall-prevention measures and bedside checks were inconsistent with the care plan, particularly during COVID. These accounts emphasize concerns about whether the community can adequately manage residents requiring higher levels of nursing supervision. Other criticisms include meals perceived as inadequate relative to the high cost, staff turnover, smaller room sizes, and an institutional feel for some visitors. Overall, the reviews present Cambridge as a beautiful, caring, activity-rich assisted living community, while suggesting prospective families carefully evaluate staffing consistency, fall prevention, clinical capabilities, and dining quality for residents with complex medical needs.
