I recently toured Cedar Woods and when I walked in and throughout my tour, staff were pleasant and engaging. Residents also were actively participating in recreation programs. One resident wanted to show me her apartment and talked to me about how nice the staff were and how they keep the apartments and entire community clean and well kept. I happen to be touring during the lunch time. The aroma of the food was appetizing and the food looked delicious. Residents were engaging at their tables and told me how good the food was. I was toured by the General Manager, Danielle. She was knowledgeable and professional. You could tell by her interactions with the residents that they respect and appreciate her. I would recommend Cedar Woods to anyone looking for a compassionate environment and a quality life style for their loved one.
