Our friend was put into The Wood at Canco Retirement Home Portland Me. 3 years ago. Things changed…read moreover the 3 years. What she were told when she went in to The Wood at Canco and what she received over the time she was there was a great big LIE. Lie number 1. She was told she would have a ride to doctor appointments in the company van. Shortly after she got there they lost they driver and never got another one. And from what we seen and heard there never tried to get another driver. Lie number 2. She needed her ears taken care of she couldn't hear, this never got done they told her they had an onsite nurse. Not much help if any from any nurse the whole time she was there. Lie number 3. After time goes by she would be checked on to see if she would have to move to another part of the building for when she would need full care. That meant her would go into hospice care when the time came and she would be allowed to pass there, that never happened. Lie number 4. When she was getting so she could not manage alone anymore they said she need to go some were else for hospice care. She was told she could live out the rest of her life there. That was one of the biggest lies, a very CRUEL thing to do to a person close to the end of there life. The big thing for going there was to live out her life there and not have to have to much change that late in life. Pretty crappy for $7000.00 a month. After some time there the cleaning was lacking, the food started to slip and a big lack of help. When they moved her out they told her they would send the things not needed anymore to Goodwill then they informed her she needed to pay more than $400.00 to have her things removed that was LIE number 5. and Now she is in the City Hospital costing her even more. No person at 100 years old should have to go threw things like these. These places suck your money dry then throw you out like a bag of trash. Lies on top of Lies I hope people read this and will pass the word and never to put your loved ones in this retirement home.

My brothers and I went to this business for help figuring out what to do about our family members…read moreevolving memory issues. They showed the highest form of business integrity by providing us with several consultation style phone calls free of charge. In the end it was suggested that we use a service that was a little closer to where our family member is located. They were able to link us with this other, un-affiliated business, after bringing that business up to speed about our circumstances. I found this to be of excellent character because rather than just take our money, they pointed us to the best possible option for our family. In addition, their staff was friendly, knowledgeable, compassionate and sensitive to our situation. These are all traits that one seeks in such a delicate time as we are faced with as a family. While it is honest for me to say that we did not actually use their services directly, everything about our interactions with this business deserved the five star rating we have awarded them in this review.

I was very proud to work there and I have told…read moremy friends I would recommend The Cedars to anyone who is in need of a skilled rehabilitation center. I would be happy to have a family member be a patient there. The Cedars is non-profit, and their focus on quality patient care shows. The bottom line is not about money. I was proud to work there, and I would work there again. It is a clean facility, with very caring CNAs who are very good at their jobs. The nurses are smart and caring. The PTs, OTs, speech therapist and therapy assistants have excellent skills. The Cedars have had the same staff for many years. Overall I really am impressed with the level of care they provide.
