Key Review Excerpts
“Both parents were there and the care and compassion are second to none. Wonderful CNA staff! Not a fancy place but we tried a fancy place and our parents were grossly neglected. The Cedars has there heart in the right place!”
“This was a terrible place for my family member . So much neglect . You had to hunt an employee down for questions and help on a regular basis for her . She had multiple falls there that put her in the hospital”
“It was a Saturday afternoon, and my mother had been released from the nursing home that morning... We went back to the nursing home, where one "angel" nurse came to our rescue.”
