What this means for your family
Cedar Grove is highly regarded for its clean environment and active social atmosphere, making it a strong candidate for short-term rehab. However, because multiple families have reported inconsistent care and poor communication regarding medical changes, we strongly advise that you visit frequently and establish a direct line of communication with the unit manager to ensure your loved one's needs are met.

“I go to a lot of different health facilities over the years but Cedar Grove should be a template for the gold standard. Love, Caring, Compassion and Patience are visible every where I go in Cedar Grove.”
