I have been to this facility, I agree it is very depressing. The staff is never around to ask any questions. Hardly ever anybody at the front table for check in. I would NEVER recommend this place to anybody. When clients do leave for a day or two, The staff will give sheets of meds. out to the clients. The sheets have like 30 pills in each sheet. This place needs to be shut down. People look like they are overmedicated. Never see any activity going on. Residents just walk around like in a daze, also go outside with no staff around. When you do finally see staff, you will see them all outside by the corner smoking and not paying any attention to the residents. I feel this is a horrible place. Please don't take your loved to this place. Thank you for your time reading this. read more

I toured Cedars of Liberty when searching for an assisted living facility for a family member. This place is like Shutter Island. It is bleak and depressing. The rooms are dingy, small and very worn. The halls are very narrow with poor lighting with some areas of the facility appearing quite desolate. A facility director escorted me around the entire place and never once did I witness any staff member, nursing personnel nor any custodians. The residents were poor dressed, quiet, some crouched on the floor in hallways or just sitting doing nothing. Absolutely no activity going on anywhere. AWFUL PLACE. read more

I have been to the Cedars of Liberty numerous times to provide entertainment to the residents. The facility has always been very clean, no odor, the staff has always been very polite and they also are involved in the activities. Very energetic activity department and they have a lot of events planned and continually work on the calendar. This is one of my very favorite places to entertain as the residents enjoy dancing, singing and visiting and the staff is very supportive. I disagree with the comment above and I have been familiar with this facility for about four years. Great bunch of folks. read more

I am very familiar w/ these types of residences. Cedars is not "fancy " or new. What it does have is a very active social schedule, with varied activities which many residents enjoy. Outings during the week are offered, as well as all types of crafts, parties with entertainment (families of residents invited), good food, regular cleaning, laundry, watchful and caring nursing staff. There is also a room where residents can gather to watch television, find books to read, etc. People are encouraged to participate in activities, but no one is forced. If someone needs help with an electronic, or moving a piece of furniture, help is there. Cedars is not so large that one gets "lost in the shuffle." People are encouraged to participate in activities, but no one is forced. Cedars is well staffed, and I cannot say enough good things about this place. I know this because a family member has lived there for many years. Every person is different depending on wants or needs, so of course one must make a decision on what is best for a potential resident. As far as Cedars goes, the old saying about not judging a book by it cover applies here. read more
