I would give this place a zero rating if I could. My mothers and my communication has been cut off. They said she thought I was dead and when I call to try to speak with her they don’t let her use the phone. She had one phone that was stolen, one broken and now another one that isn’t working. I don’t even know if she is ok. They said we would have weekly meetings over the phone but over one year 9 mo. have had only three. No one should live at this place, she is bed ridden but they do not treat her like she is at home. Please find a loving facility for your loved one.

Just toured Sapphire with Molly. The buildings remodel looks so nice. Their therapy gym is open and bright. The staff was warm and welcoming.

My adult son was at Saffire for rehabilitation from a surgery. He was very comfortable there, and said everyone was friendly and helpful. We met a lot of the staff and nurses that worked with him, they were very kind to us and always asked if we needed anything while we were visiting him as we were from out of state. They met with him before he was released to make sure everything he needed with medications from his nurse and limitation instructions from his physical therapist were fully understood before we left. We were so pleased with the help he got there. Thank you all so much,John &Cindy

My father had a stroke four years ago, which left him unable to care for himself. Since then, he has been a resident at Cedar Crossing.<br><br>Of course, we’ve all heard the negative stories about nursing homes, and unfortunately, my initial experience with Cedar Crossing wasn’t much different. However, since the change in ownership and the addition of new staff, I’ve personally seen a noticeable and positive change in the effort being put into this facility.<br><br>I can say this with confidence because I visit my dad every single day. Over the years, I’ve gotten to know many of the residents and the staff members who work hard to keep this facility running. I’ve been able to see these changes firsthand, and as long as I continue to see this positive progress, this post will stay up.<br><br>A special thank you to Emma and Venessa for taking the initiative to drive positive change at this facility. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed.<br><br>I’d also like to recognize some of the staff members I’ve personally had pleasant experiences with: Molly, Barbara, Purity, Martha, Kaya, Neylana, Kai, Alan, Will, Rognor, Luis, Brian, and everyone else whose names I may not be remembering at the moment.<br><br>There is still always room for improvement, but I genuinely appreciate the positive direction Cedar Crossing is moving in. Most importantly, I appreciate the people who are putting in the effort to make a difference for the residents and their families.
