My father is a resident at Cedarhurst and he seems to be very well cared for. My experiences with the staff have always been pleasant and professional.

All the staff is dedicated to helping my father feel comfortable and engaged. They go above and beyond to stay one step ahead of him (not easy) and communicate with me regularly.

I have been very pleased with the way the staff handles the very stressful situations that happen in the memory care side of the facility. I do my best to help them out when my father is having difficult times and getting to know all the residents has been fun for me too. Bless all the staff for all you do.

From the moment l walked in the front door of Cedarhurst Living l knew it was the right place for my father. The place was all lit up and bright. The giant fireplace and the lounge chairs are all so inviting. The associates at the front desk are happy to help you. A lit up eating area on the right and a theater on the left. My father stays in memory care . The associates in that area are all so attentive to whatever the needs are for the people whom reside there. There is also things going on all day to keep the residents occupied. I wouldnt have my father be at any other place. Thank you Cedarhurst and associates.
