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
