About Us
About Cedar & Stone
At Cedar & Stone Senior Care and Residences, we’ve reimagined the 6-bed residential care model. We specialize in supporting seniors with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s and Dementia through a lifestyle rooted in assisted independence, purposeful activity, and genuine joy.
Our Philosophy: The Ikigai Way
We believe every resident deserves an Ikigai—a reason to get up in the morning. Our program is designed to nourish the social, emotional, and spiritual needs of our residents, ensuring that this new chapter of life is adventuresome rather than restrictive.
The Cedar & Stone Advantage
Boutique Environment: Our 6-bed home in Concord offers a smooth, comfortable transition that large institutions simply cannot match.
Tech-Forward Care: We integrate modern digital health tools to monitor wellness, enhance cognitive engagement, and keep families connected to their loved ones in real-time.
Active Engagement: From creative arts to physical movement, our daily activities are designed to reduce isolation and slow the cognitive decline associated with dementia.
Professional Expertise: Our care is informed by advanced research in biomedical informatics, ensuring a high-standard, data-driven approach to senior wellness.
Our Mission: To provide a loving environment where highly trained caregivers understand that "extra care" should never mean a loss of dignity or excitement.
Our Story
Our journey began with a simple, shared desire: to fundamentally better the lives of our seniors. We realized that traditional care often lacked the modern vision needed to truly help residents thrive.
Driven by a common goal to redefine the assisted living experience, we combined our expertise in healthcare technology and senior care to create something different. At Cedar & Stone, we’ve built a home where innovation meets heart. We are dedicated to providing a premier residence that utilizes modern tools to ensure the highest standard of wellness and a purposeful, joyful life for every senior we serve.

Our Location
Resident Attention Differs Us from other Care Facilities
We closely monitor our Residents in all facets of their well-being, which includes skin disorders, appetite, hydration, fall risk ambulation, socialization, and emotional disposition.
In sharp contrast to most other Home Care Facilities, our Residents spend their waking hours in the common areas of the home, not in their bedrooms. We feel that bedrooms are for sleeping, not living.
Most Care Homes have 2 live in Staff which works 24/7 with no awake staff at night, we do not. Our Staff is scheduled in multiple shifts which helps to ensure their readiness to meet all challenges and fulfill the duties of their shift.
The difference between our Care Home and other facilities is the intimacy of our environment, in a home-like setting, and more importantly, the daily program of activities for our Residents. We will work closely with all Resident’s primary care doctors to minimize chemical restraints and instead utilize individual appropriate activities to avoid chemical restraints.
We feel that the best possible quality of life cannot be achieved by drugging our elders and instead provide love, attention, and pampering of individual needs.
