This facility has very poor communication. This facility also struggles with providing the best care to their patients. You are lucky if the administrator knows you by name.

Very small compact facility, tight spaces, and very uninviting staff and management downright unable to work with.

From day 1 Mom received excellent care. The staff have all been very compassionate and it is obvious they truly care about their residents.

Takes good care of my grandparent in assisted living. The décor is nice and clean. The food is decent, too (yes, I snitched some).

Beautiful place from the outside. Quite dim and low ceiling from the inside though. Outdoor seating area is nice, clean and well kept. Really appreciate this Cedar Manor nursing care where our beloved grandma is being given hospice care. The staffs are amazing and caring. They even have a nurse that’s available 247. They have various activities for residents there. There was a pianist playing lovely music while we were visiting. It seemed to entertain the residents a lot. Such comforting and loving service for folks that need nursing and hospice care. Keep up the good work. Bless your heart! Thank you very much!
