Cedarhurst of Waterloo
Cedarhurst of Waterloo is a 56-bed senior living community at 526 Legacy Drive in Waterloo, Illinois. Managed by Cedarhurst Living, this Monroe County facility provides assisted living and memory care under a state license issued in June 2025. Located near the city center, the campus features a high Walk Score of 78, making most local errands accessible on foot.
The community is regulated by the Illinois Department of Public Health and currently maintains a 100% occupancy rate, significantly exceeding the state average of 69.3%. While no CMS star rating applies to this license type, 2025 filings show a citations-per-inspection rate of 3.0. A March 2025 investigation identified a reporting failure following a resident fall, and a subsequent May 2025 survey noted gaps in fire drill frequency and physician certifications for hospice transitions.
No fines or enforcement actions were recorded, and leadership initiated retraining on incident reporting and documentation protocols following these findings.
Professional medical support is managed 24/7 by a team of licensed nurses and personal care aides who implement personalized wellness plans. The clinical model integrates on-site therapy services, medication management, and respite care options. Residents in the memory care wing benefit from a secured environment and dedicated dementia programming designed to maintain cognitive function and safety.
tAccommodations are wheelchair accessible and pet-friendly, with monthly pricing starting at approximately $5,600 for assisted living and $7,900 for memory care. Fees are all-inclusive, covering all-day dining with diverse menu options, housekeeping, linen services, and utilities.
Shared spaces include landscaped courtyards, a movie theater, and a full-service salon. The life enrichment program coordinates daily social events and exercise classes, while scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments and shopping trips. Prospective residents and their representatives should prioritize an in-person visit to assess the current status of incident reporting protocols and fire drill compliance following recent leadership transitions.
