Living with a Family Home Provider (FHP) creates a unique opportunity for your loved one to receive truly comprehensive, personalized, and consistent care. Anyone living with an FHP becomes part of a family, celebrating all of life’s moments together. FHP’s and the prospective individual are carefully matched to ensure a successful fit. By genuinely getting to know the provider and the individual, we ensure this connection forever enriches both the individual’s and provider’s lives.

For Don and Debbie, the peace of mind that comes with knowing Brandon is at Cedar Lake is priceless. "We feel so blessed he is at Cedar Lake and that he is so close to home," Don shares. For Don and Debbie, Cedar Lake Lodge was always a familiar name, but they never imagined it would become such a vital part of their lives. Their son, Brandon, has always been the heart of their family—a source of boundless joy and inspiration.
From the beginning, Don and Debbie devoted themselves to ensuring Brandon received the best care possible, making countless sacrifices and finding creative ways to manage his care between themselves. As they navigated the challenges and uncertainties that come with raising a child with special needs, they knew they needed to find a place where Brandon could not only be cared for but truly thrive—a place that would bring them comfort and allow them some respite.
