I have never been so thankful as I have been with Queen City Hospice, aka QCH, and their Head RN…read morePaul Johnson, and Paul's team of amazing caregivers. I have benefited from other hospice organizations for other family members and after experiencing QCH I will ALWAYS choose them from now on!! Here is why... I wanted in-HOME care for my mother who had lung cancer that spread to the brain. She was a smoker of 53 years. In the past, we had used another hospice company with in-FACILITY care for my father who had oral cancer, lost his jaw, and was bleeding consistently from his trachea implant. This in-FACILITY care was good. When we used the same company for in-HOME care for my mother, the care was less than desirable. That was when I realized that Queen City Hospice was a true GEM!!! All elder care IS NOT equal!!! While the other facility had visited our home in the days beforehand, I still did not have the needed equipment or actual physical support. On a surprise Saturday morning, my mother drastically declined, falling while trying to walk. As I was trying to help my mother get up to a safe place and tending to my 2 year old son screaming at my leg, I called the our original hospice in a panic, needing serious help from an aid. I was told that aids do not work on the weekend. I wish I had known this point and understood what that really meant in practice, not just theory. The reality meant- I was totally on my own for the weekends, including the soon emerging emergency on my hands. Luckily, a neighbor recommended Queen City Hospice, I called, and without delay they came to the rescue!! Within hours of a phone call we had transferred hospice centers, we had oxygen, a hospital bed, bedside commode, medicine, a nebulizer, and 24 hour--round-the-clock care so I could rest amongst other benefits. The QCH nurses and staff were AMAZING!!! It was like having family here in a strange city. They were there to listen when I needed to talk, and stayed out of the way when I did not. Everyone was super experienced and knowledgeable. I have never experienced such love, concern, care, and beautiful compassion like I did from Paul and his team. My mother died in my arms 48 hours later. Thankfully the nurse at the bedside prepped me for everything that was happening. I really felt she passed without pain and in peace like she always wanted. For a brief moment, neither one of us felt fear and we were able to focus on our bond, our relationship, all because of the incredible care of Queen City Hospice!

Cedar Village also has the Oak View and Fountain View Apartments, 105 independent/assisted living apartments. Cedar Village also has a rehabilitation center to assist with recovery following illness, injury, or surgery. The rehab center includes special therapy, flat screen TVs and DVD players in every room, refrigerators, a DVD library, "Wii-habilitation," and Coffee and Popcorn Stations. Cedar Village is in its 11th year but it is extremely nice and very clean and still has that brand new look to it. It's a really good place for people who need to live there, it's comprehensive with all of the different levels of provided care, and there is even a kosher deli, a gift shop, two beauty salons, libraries, an on site bank and both Reform and Orthodox rabbis. When my family visited my great grandmother we liked the deli because we could eat with her and feel like we were taking her out to lunch. In addition to the great staff at Cedar Village, the retirement community also has a large number of "Junior" and Adult volunteers, and they also have a pet therapy program where you can bring in your pets with you. Cedar Village is also the home to number of community events, not limited to its residents, including Israel celebrations and the annual Cedar Village Golf Classic at The Ridge Club. For Cedar Village residents there are a number of fun activities and events including "Dancing in the Deli," a fashion show, the Cedar Village Choir, and a number of musical guests and programs. While my great grandmother lived at Cedar Village, we knew she living at a great place, dedicated to comfort and care.
