Assisted Living

| Activities | Fee | Waiting List | Continuum of Care


The Courts is The Cedars' new assisted living facility designed to accommodate the physical and emotional needs of residents who need some assistance, but who want to remain independent for as long as possible.

The three-story unit is conveniently connected to the HealthCare Center.


But perhaps it's the extras that make The Courts a special place to live – the "neighborhoods" ... the ice cream socials ... the caring residents show each other day after day ... and much more.

Resident Comments

"People help you here…you help them. I have as many friends as there are people
here."
– Resident of The Courts

 

"I like being around the people who live here."

Person-Centered Care

It's putting the residents and their wishes above convenience and schedules. It's giving our residents choices and control over their daily routine – deciding when and what to eat … choosing their own clothing … deciding when to participate in activities … and sleeping as late as they want.
