Overall Review of Cedarwood Health Care Ctr

differentiator 10 reviews mention this

New management drives changes

Residents repeatedly describe noticeable improvements under new management.

Many reviewers point to new administration as a turning point, describing updates to how the building runs and day-to-day support for residents. Several mention a change in leadership with more structure, more teamwork, and a better environment. A few also highlight specific leadership communication, including being in contact with families. One critical review mentions the facility going “to hell” after restructuring, but it stands alone against the broader pattern of improvement reports.

common 6 reviews mention this

Clean, well-maintained facility

Cleanliness and upkeep show up often in residents’ comments.

Multiple reviewers describe the facility as clean, well maintained, and improved with upgrades. Others describe a fresh look and a safer, more comfortable environment since the changes began. A separate group of negative reviews includes concerns that conflict with those impressions, but most comments focus on cleanliness as a consistent positive.

common 3 reviews mention this

Therapy quality gets attention

Reviews cite both strong therapy experiences and some therapy frustrations.

Several residents describe rehabilitation therapy positively, including praise for the physical therapist and the therapy department. In the most detailed positive comment, a reviewer credits physical therapy with helping someone work toward independence. There is also a contrary review that says the physical therapist was impatient and did not listen, so therapy experiences are not uniformly described.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Communication and call-backs

A couple of reviewers complain about unreturned calls or rude interactions.

At least two reviewers raise concerns about how the facility handles phone communication, including not calling back and hanging up during contact. One of those reviews connects the problem to worries about responsiveness for serious situations. Another negative review focuses on rude staff behavior when speaking by phone.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Serious care and safety concerns

Some reviews describe grave issues with care and safety.

One critical reviewer describes serious failures around diet consistency and medical escalation, including pneumonia concerns and delayed notification to a doctor. Another negative review uses strong language about the facility after restructuring, framing it as a decline in care. These safety-oriented complaints appear in a small subset of reviews compared with the many improvement-focused comments.
