Overview of Cedarhurst of Fort Wayne

Cedarhurst of Fort Wayne is an 89-bed for-profit assisted living and memory care community at 9210 Maysville Road in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Managed by Kari Lynn Cerutti, with nursing oversight by Jennifer Rao, the facility has operated for approximately seven years and currently maintains a robust 93% occupancy rate. The campus serves Allen County with a residential model providing assisted living, memory care, and respite services.

The community operates under a state-licensed residential framework, offering 24-hour medical oversight and localized healthcare coordination. While the facility does not participate in federal CMS star ratings, current 2026 data shows that the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero based on its most recent June 2025 complaint investigation. Regulatory records from 2024 through early 2025 noted past challenges in service plan documentation, staff certification tracking, and fall notification protocols, which prompted corrective measures. Monthly pricing starts at $5,450 for assisted living and $8,050 for memory care, focusing on a private-pay resident model.

Direct bedside support is provided 24/7 by a professional team of licensed nurses and care partners who manage medication administration and wellness monitoring. The clinical model integrates on-site rehabilitation services and specialized life enrichment programming tailored to resident interests. Recent leadership has addressed historical documentation themes, specifically regarding pharmacy reviews and annual health statements, to align with state standards. To promote safety, the facility coordinates 24-hour nursing oversight and utilizes individualized care plans to support residents with varying physical and cognitive needs.

The facility features a full residential amenity package, including a private movie theater, a full-service salon, and landscaped courtyards. All-inclusive monthly services cover three daily meals, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry, with utilities and community WiFi included.

Shared community spaces are designed for social interaction and pet-friendly living, and the facility holds a Walk Score of 68. The social calendar is managed by on-site staff to provide daily life enrichment events, and scheduled transportation is provided for local medical appointments and community outings throughout the Fort Wayne area.

Those seeking a well-established, high-demand environment with robust amenities and confirmed nursing oversight may find this setting appropriate. Interested individuals should contact the administrator directly to discuss current service plan documentation practices and fall notification protocols to assess 2026 quality performance firsthand.
