Had a great experience at Cedar Pine. The physical therapy team is excellent, and you can really see their dedication in helping residents improve and regain their strength. Very happy with the care provided!

Seems kind of dingy. Some of the staff are helpful with a smile, but some seemed really burned out.

This place is HORRIBLE. They over medicate, there was blood all over the front of one of my mom's shirt, they stole $20 from her purse and came back with half the clothes she left with and she came back in worse condition than when she left and died 2 weeks after being there!!!
