Cedar Manor offers high-quality rehabilitation and a very helpful administrative team, making it a strong choice for short-term recovery.

Key Review Excerpts

The rehab department was excellent. They pushed me when I needed to be pushed and they let me rest when I needed to be rest. My experience with the nursing staff was a nightmare!

Rehab patient · 2025★★★★★

I walked down the halls and hear many patient call alarms beeping and patients calling out for help without a response. I think they are understaffed.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★☆☆☆

The activities department is especially impressive! Rodica Boanta, Hector, and the rest of the activities staff plan creative events and are genuinely invested in keeping the residents happy and engaged.

Families have filed multiple complaint reports against Cedar Manor, resulting in recent uncorrected deficiencies in care planning and daily living assistance as of November 2024. The facility shows persistent problems across surveys in fire safety systems, resident care quality, and medication management. While most violations have correction plans, the pattern of recurring issues in core care areas and ongoing family complaints suggests significant operational challenges that warrant careful consideration before placement.
