We are committed to weaning from ventilators when

The staff at Cedar Grove is always helpful and extremely courteous. I appreciate the difficulty of working in such a facility but generally, they do a remarkable job on a daily basis.

The environment is welcoming, the facility is clean and sterile, yet it feels very cozy. There is a fine line between sterile and unwelcoming to being sterile and welcoming. Abe was able to find that line! He, and his team are very professional and very down to earth. I cannot say enough good things about this place! If you have a loved one that is in need of over the top care and comfort, then this is the place to go! Thank you for continuing to care for our Nana, it means the world to us!

My experience at this facility was amazing from the time I entered until the time I left. Everyone from the front receptionist to the nursing staff, cna’s, physical therapist even maintenance, activity reps, cleaning staff were really helpful, kind, and encouraging to say the least. Abraham the Assistant Administrator was caring, friendly, and involved with all the residents and their need’s and cares.I would recommend this facility to anyone. I also made many friends with the residents and intend to go back to visit.
