Overview of Cedarhurst of Lawrence Operator

Cedarhurst of Lawrence is a 110-bed licensed assisted living and memory care facility at 4450 Bauer Farm Drive in Lawrence, Kansas. Operated by Cedarhurst Senior Living and administered by Stephanie Harms, the community serves Douglas County with specialized long-term care and respite services.

The community provides 24-hour medical oversight and personalized care for residents requiring varying levels of physical and cognitive support. While the facility does not participate in the federal CMS star rating system as a state-licensed assisted living center, recent 2026 filings indicate that it currently maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its latest compliance surveys. Current occupancy stands at approximately 55%, with 60 of 110 units occupied, reflecting a steady census increase since late 2024. The building features a “Bauer Farm” location with a Walk Score of 87, placing it in one of the most accessible areas of the Lawrence market.

Support is managed by a team of licensed nurses and personal care aides who assist with medication management, diabetic care, and activities of daily living. The “Living TRUE” program guides memory care services, focusing on sensory experiences and specialized dementia support for residents in the 22-unit memory care wing. Residents also have access to on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy through ancillary partnerships to promote functional recovery. Healthcare professionals are available 24/7 to manage individualized care plans and coordinate with external physicians as needed.

The 69,311-square-foot campus features studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments equipped with kitchenettes and 24-hour emergency call systems. Many assisted living units also offer private patios that open directly onto landscaped central courtyards. All-inclusive services cover weekly housekeeping, personal laundry, and a culinary program that provides heart-healthy and brain-boost menu options.

Common areas include a private movie theater, a library, a full-service salon, and secure outdoor walking paths designed for safe exploration. For spiritual and recreational needs, the facility offers a variety of on-site activities and scheduled transportation for community shopping and medical appointments.

Prospective residents seeking a large-scale, amenity-rich environment with neighborhood-style memory care may find this setting appropriate. Those evaluating the home should contact the administrator directly to discuss current elopement prevention protocols and schedule a tour to assess the 2026 quality performance firsthand.
