Horrible experience in rehab--- in best wording, do not go. For reasoning and logic without listing exact events and time lines, do not consider admitting a friend or relative to this facility.

Went to visit my poor mother who almost died last month and an employee came into her room minutes after I arrived to bring food, flowers and visit and this lady asked inappropriate questions embarrassing myself, my mother and friend I brought and then made incredibly rude personal comments before rushing out. I have always visited nursing homes, hospice centers and assisted living centers all over the country for 3 decades performing to our senior citizens and visiting with the lost and lonely now here I am facing a scary time with my poor mother and I experience this. #disappointed

My grandmother was sent to Cedars after her surgery . She has several wounds on her legs that were bandaged. And she has bandages over her incision from her surgery. She was there for about week, and they never changed her bandages and now she has two different infections in her wounds and her incisions. I'm so thankful she is out this place and now she can get the help she needs. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

Staff is friendly and willing to help with our real estate notary request (it did take a bit for the notary to show up). Clean, safe environment. A great home away from home.
