Cedarview

At Cedarview, there can be a lack of professionalism in some areas. If a manager has a "beef" with someone it should be private and not open or addressed in the dining or activities room. I've only been here a short while, and some residents have said the quality of the food has gone down. There's a lot of beef, chicken, and pork, it's processed meat. There's lots to choose from and nothing necessarily wrong with the food. No ones going to go hungry. Sometimes what's on the menu doesn't match what's being served, that's not a big deal with me, but may be to others. There's an ala carte menu on the back of the regular menu, but I have a hard time getting specific sides. I know its there because it comes in daily and it's always there, but they'll tell me they don't have it even if its on the menu. Most times someone else will go and get it for me. If they won't be able to provide those things, then they maybe shouldn't add it on the menu. There's always something going on with the activities. There's not a lot of visitation with the activities, which is to no fault of the community or the activities director. It's more so what the residents are interested in. For example: bingo has high a attendance rate, while some other activities may not be as desired. I'm very happy with the location of my room, I'm happy I'm allowed to have my pet here. I also like that I have easy access to the outside. Cedarview is a beautiful place, but I can't compare it to many places. I have no complaints - there's just some professionalism that needs to be displayed in regards to calling others out in shared spaces.

The community is clean and the staff are really friendly and helpful. The meals and dining service is great and they do have a lot of activities going on. The value for cost is similar to an upscale apartment. However, this is just not the place for me, everyone here is a little bit older and it is a very social environment.

I'm a bit younger and here because my husband is here. But especially for seniors over 75, it's a wonderful place to be. Compared to other retirement homes we know of, the grounds and beautiful flower gardens, the wide hallways, the tall ceilings, and the dining room here all provide wonderful living. My husband really likes that we don't have to put him in a car to go to a restaurant or activities. Right outsider or door, 2 minutes away, he can go to meals or socialize. They show movies in the theater on-site. There are plenty of amenities and things to do here. And then if you have your own car, there's plenty to do nearby as well, including a swimplex and shopping.

Excellent conversation & very helpful on all subjects that I questioned Gave me a lot of extra tips & information

Can't say enough about this place. Viewed several of these suites and they are all fantastic. Well maintained throughout. Staff are friendly, especially [names removed] who took us through the place. My dad loved it and we went back the next day and signed a contract.

My parents moved in July 2016, and thoroughly enjoyed their reception and welcome. As my mom's illness progressed, they were very accommodating with her need for meals in her room, and brought them to her twice daily. She has since passed away, but my father has remained there, and enjoys the social aspect, and the support he gets from that. It is clean, and well maintained, and the public spaces are inviting and well used. The only complaint I really hear is a common one in most assisted living residences, and that is about the food. Although it does not really substitute for home cooking, I have found the food to be quite good and well prepared, with good variety, just not always to my own taste. But there are alternatives that can be ordered at any meal, which works for those meals that don't appeal. Very positive experience for my parents.
