Very Pleased

Staff is very friendly, meals are good, building and grounds are well taken care of, several activities each day for residents to participate in. The only reason I gave a 4 instead of a 5 is because we had to ask multiple times for a few things to be done in the apartment that had been approved prior to moving in.

Our family experience

Apartments are very nice. Dining was always short staffed and food was sometimes cold. My mom was very independent so her only complaint was the dining. She enjoyed the activities.

Friends Galore!

It's a beautiful place. My Mother loves her apartment. She has met so many friends, loves all of the activities and keeps very busy. The only complaint she communicates to us is the food. Quality and prep are poor. She cannot cut the meat because it's tough and all they have are butter knives.

5 for all. It has been a wonderful experience. What we like the most about the community is the transportation options, warmth of surroundings, numerous activities. Yes, I would recommend the community to other families and have already.

Overall I would recommend

Overall, Cedarhurst was a nice place for my mother-in-law. She did not engage much nor use the cafeteria a lot for meals so ratings on food and such are kind of hard for me to give.. there was always a director and or assistant director on site. However, they were always in their offices and they seemed very bogged down with work and I did not see much interaction with them and the residence. They did have a receptionist at all times and all of them seem to interact quite a bit with the residence when they would walk by the desk..

Definitely recommend

It is a lovely facility and they have loads of activities if the resident wants to join in. Always clean and staff and management are friendly and helpful. Only complaint is that the food is sometimes not up to expectations. Meat is too tough or food is just not as expected or described. One of our reasons for choosing the facility over others that were less expensive is that food was supposed to be available anytime from 7am to 7pm. But it is difficult to get served out of the normal hours meal times.

Caring Community

The staff is very friendly. They could improve on having a better system or procedures or staff to help new residence transition. That kind of change is very difficult for seniors especially if they felt as if it was their only option. And I feel all of the senior communities not just Cedarhurst need to have a strategic plan with check ins as they adjust

Overall experience

Staff is very friendly and helpful. However, there are a few things they said you get but wasn't the case unless you were in assisted living rather than independent. Such as the alert button. Apartment size is adequate. It would be nice if they had garbage disposals in the apartments. And provide soft drinks like soda and tea. There a one thing that is still concerning that you and resident facilities have told me to do to help with cost. That was to use Patriot Angels for VA funding. I signed the contract and paid the fee of almost [price removed]. But we have yet to get any funding. She moved in [date removed]. They submitted application [date removed] and final submission on [date removed]. But have not received anything and it's been over the 90 days. If it doesn't come through then we have to move her out. Which will be very disappointing and put ya in a predicament.

Review for Cedarhurst of Tesson Heights

[name removed], the Director of nursing has helped me tremendously, keeping me informed of changes things that are happening with my loved one all the staff there are friendly and kind compassionate. I'm the type of person that worries about everything and they put my worries to rest. They take exceptional care of their people. The facility is clean and they have events for families like you know carnivals, and things like that. They have lots of activities.

Don’t answer the call button quick

This place does not put residents first. They do not answer the call buttons very quickly. My grandfather has lived here for almost a year now and the first few months he was afraid to sleep in his own bed because when he pressed the call button no one would come. Months later we are still having this issue. He requires assistance for everything. He called me to let me know if he died it’s because he fell and no one came. There are some great employees that take care of him and we appreciate them. But their lack of answering the call button is ridiculous.

a perfect fit for our mom

We are obviously overall very happy. It was a very good fit for her. Luckily she has a fridge we bring food that she likes so she doesn't have to deal with the dining room. Sometimes they were short staffed and had long waits. Sometimes out of the scheduled dinner before she even gets there. People are very nice and friendly and even though the room seemed small at first, it is perfect for her. She feels at home.

Good, could be great with some improvements.

The public areas were always clean and smelled nice, they never cleaned my mom's room as they were supposed to, only change the trash. The nursing director is incredible and helped us so much. Regrettably, there were issues that needed to be resolved with how a few staff interacted with mom. Some staff were wonderful. Mom had walking issues and they brought her all her meals. They were not great about time to respond to necklaces pages or following a bath assist schedule. Food was very good.

I have recommended them. I tell them the food use to be better but I think kitchen turn over has effected that. But all in all my mom is very happy there.

Our families experience

When it comes to the dining area, they could used swept and wiped down more often. [name removed] is in Independent living and does not require care yet. They do offer lots of activities but she chooses not to participate. Overall yes I would recommend this community to other families, but the person would need to be more of a self starter as they do not do the beast at assigning buddies to show you around when you first arrive

Cedarhurst Tesson Heights

Cedarhurst Tesson Heights is an outstanding facility. Having dealt with senior living facilities for both my Dad (20 years ago) and Mom (4 years ago), Cedarhurst was in a class above the rest. Very professional staff, studio-style rooms, cleanliness, respot-style dining and caring and attentive nursing. An outstanding activities calendar, including outings to local Walmart, Dollar Store, restaurants and local attractions.

Review of independent living

CedarHurst is clean and nicely decorated. They have a lot of activities planned for the residents. The food could be improved upon and if you have something go wrong in your apartment, it will not get done.

Very nice and friendly staff

The staff are friendly and go The extra mile to make sure that everything you need is taking care of. The dining room has been an issue with not enough staff and many times the food is cold because they don’t get it to you or you order hot tea and they bring it when you’re finished eating. They do have a lot of activities my mom’s favorite being bingo. My mother has made several friends which makes living there a happy place.
