My father moved into Cedar Community. They've done a terrific job watching him. They have done an outstanding job changing what they do for him in order to match where the disease is. I'm just very, very pleased with how he's doing there. His room is spacious. It holds all of the family heirlooms and things that he took with him from his home, and there's plenty of room. They have a garden that his room looks out to and he would be able to get out there come summertime and wander around the gardens that they have going. The common areas are nice, especially the restaurant that he uses. They have several larger group areas where they can do programs like bingo or different religious activities like praying the rosary. He goes down to the activities himself. They announce them when they're going to start, and he makes the effort to get down there. If it's something that is an exercise program that he should be attending, they go and actually search him out so that he takes advantage of it. The food is excellent. It's designed for the assisted living residents where they'll have a generous breakfast and a generous lunch, and then a little bit less for supper. People go to bed early and that keeps things like reflux at bay. It's not cheap, but I think he does very well there. And it's that kind of idea that it's worth the money if he's doing well.

My mother was at Cedar Community. They could easily accommodate lots of people and provide lots of personal attention to my mother. The thing I liked least was the administration had a lot of problems keeping things straight, so she would miss doctors' appointments because they didn't get the transportation correct. She was in assisted living during the whole COVID period, which was hard because of their lockdown procedures. They seemed like they were more stringent than the place she's in now. It was hard on her. It was a nice place. It was tough, but everybody had a learning curve there. The problem that makes it average is that they've had a lot of turnover, which I think is also normal here with COVID that people are not staying in their jobs, and that's very hard for the service industry. They had very few activities. The place was plenty big. They had a salon, a gift shop, a snack shop, a beautiful courtyard, and an outside park. They had a nice room that was used as a chapel. The building is a little bit older and could use some upkeep. It was pretty expensive.
