My father will be moving into The Woods at Cedar Run. They were all friendly. My brother and I felt that our dad would be comfortable there. He is going to be getting a lot of good care. The staff and the Director of Nursing were very friendly, helpful, and caring; that is why we decided to go there. The food was good. My brother and I had a free meal along with our dad when we toured the place. I had crab cakes, french fries, and vegetables. We were satisfied, and my father enjoyed the meal. The place was very good and very clean. We liked it a lot compared to where my dad is at now.

The Woods at Cedar Run is fantastic. It is one of the highest-rated ones that I visited. The place is absolutely beautiful. It looks like an apartment building rather than like a facility. They even are very proud of the fact that they do not want to be known as a facility, and that they are known as a community. They never want to hear the 'facility' word. The apartments are fantastic. They have memory care there. Their memory care is smaller. They only have 18 in their memory care, but it's lovely. It looks more like a hotel than it does any type of community. They have activities for their personal care as well as for their memory care. They have a huge calendar of activities. The rooms were beautiful, and they had different sizes. They starte with a studio. They had one-bedrooms or two bedrooms, and some were very large. They also had a cafeteria there if people wanted to get something in between the main meals. They have a salon, a bistro, and a beautiful movie. From what I saw of the staff, they were fantastic. The staff also took me to the memory care side, and everybody seemed very nice. They were doing activities even with the individuals in memory care. I got to talk to some of the staff and they all seemed very, very nice. Something else they told me that I thought was very nice is that they have what's called an ambassador program. So, any resident coming in will be assigned another resident and that resident will make sure that they understand the activities and kind of keep an eye on them and help get them involved. I was very, very impressed with them.

We toured The Woods at Cedar Run for Dad and the community was fine. It was clean and everybody seemed very friendly. I think the facilities were fine and everything looked fine. The only thing that I didn't care about it is there are a lot of ancillary charges that are not included with four other homes that I visited the previous day. It just seemed like everything was an ancillary charge as opposed to kind of an all-inclusive type thing. The rooms were fine, spacious enough, with plenty of amenities. They were more than adequate for what I was looking for. It seemed to be fairly quiet, and everything seemed to be up to snuff. I didn't see anything wrong. They were in the process of remodeling, I want to say, a weight room. It was done and they were still waiting for equipment, but everything seemed to be up to par. I did not see anything out of the ordinary that would give me concern as far as placing my father there. The staff were very accommodating, and they answered all our questions. They seemed to be very knowledgeable of the services they offered. The dining area was great. We didn't actually taste any of the food. I was there over the beginning of the lunch time, and everybody seemed to be anxious to get there and eat their food. We were told about activities they had, and it seemed up to par with everyone else. The staff member who gave me the tour was great.

Hello! I haved lived here for over 9 Years. Lived in 3 other facilities prior to finding The Woods. Major issues with all of the others! Here the food is excellent! Prepared by our chef, Ryan. He listens to our suggestions and makes adjustments as needed. The staff are all well trained and friendly. The grounds are quiet, well maintained and private, See ya soon, Tom

We're in the process of moving my mom to The Woods at Cedar Run. We already have a move-in date for it. A lot of the decision has to do with location. It's a little bit of a smaller assisted living facility and it had a very homey and less clinical atmosphere. I took 2 tours, I went back a second time for a second tour so I could compare it to the other tour. It just had a more home-like atmosphere to it. I'm trying to accommodate my mother and my mother's likes and what she would want so I go in there with an eye on what would make her happy. The staff was very professional, very thorough, and very pleasant. They asked questions about my mother and then helped me to see how this facility would fit her. They introduced me to the physical therapist. It was just very thorough so I left there knowing what my mother would be exposed to and what she had available to her. They've just been very helpful with everything. I've been in contact with them over just even the smallest question. I just send an email and I get a response right away. My mom got an apartment. They had efficiencies too which would just be a bed and a room where you would put a bed and some furniture and a bathroom. They also had one available that has a living room space and then a bedroom and a bathroom. It's small though and she lives in a 3-story home so of course, it's small for her. We're trying to figure out what we can fit in there and that'll make it feel more like home. The girl who toured with me said she had a degree in design and was showing me how furniture could work in another way and she would help us to fit it in. There is no kitchen, but they will provide a small refrigerator like a dorm refrigerator and a microwave. All her meals are included but if she would like to have a cold drink in the evening and a snack, it's there for her. Maintenance is available for any help that you need and everything and that was great. It's a very nice facility, well-kept, and very home-like. The location is gorgeous. There's a big lawn going down into the creek and there are always ducks and geese back there. There are beautiful flower beds for the more independent people. There is a garden that they work on which is a vegetable garden. There are walking paths, I can take her in her wheelchair there. It has about everything that I thought would make her feel even a little bit better about leaving her home. I did not try the food but I looked at the menus and I do know that if there's something she's not interested in trying, they have alternatives, which is nice.

My parents live at The Woods. They first moved to Independent Living. My parents made the choice to move here knowing that they would need the different levels of care over the rest of their lifetime. The whole team at The Woods has made life enjoyable for them and easy on us as a family. They have walked beside us as life and health changes have taken place. They have been phenomenal to work with, it's like we have become care partners in managing my parents needs. They have helped to assure my Mom remain at Home aka The Woods through her end of life. My dad has thrived with their love and support since.

This is home. People are friendly and considerate. Beautiful grounds with trees and stream. Wild ducks and lots of wild life. My dad plays on the pool team and enjoys walking his dog.

My mother is at The Woods at Cedar Run, and it’s a very good place. They have different levels of living; one is for independent living, another is for senior health living, and there is a memory care. Their dining facility is gorgeous, and the food is fabulous. They also have activities available from story reading to exercises. They also sponsor field trips for the residents. There’s always something for them to do.

I visited The Woods at Cedar Run for my aunt. They had everything we would have wanted. The lady that walked us around was wonderful, and the staff was really good. They even gave us lunch in their dining room. My aunt would have loved to be there as the place where she could comfortably age. The apartments were very nice at very reasonable prices. They had both indoor and outdoor activities like dance, yoga, crafts, and church services. They had outings to restaurants at least three times a week. They had a bus that took residents wherever they needed to go including a grocery store.

Do not have your loved one move into this facility unless they are able to be totally independent. Senior living residents at the Woods are not cared for. Staffing is a huge problem, management is a revolving door and profit is the bottom line here. It is a lovely building and setting, however.

We visited The Woods at Cedar Run. We really like it, but if you get sick or if you have to go to a nursing home, there is no facility there that they can move you to, and you have to go somewhere else. Other than that, it was very nice. The staff was super nice. They had everything that we like. They had a lot of activities. They’re very friendly. Some of the people we met there were very friendly, but we just want some place where, if down the road we need nursing care or nursing home, we can get it without moving.

We chose The Woods at Cedar Run for my mother because it was very, very close to where I live. It is very clean. They do a very good job. My mother has an apartment, which is really nice. They have one- and two-bedroom apartments. Right now, my mother is in a little one-bedroom apartment and it is really nice. They have both assisted and independent living and even memory care in the same building. The staff is pretty good. They seem pretty caring. The administrative staff doesn't communicate as well with the people's family as they could. I have had issues with them periodically. I just don’t get any real feedback from them. However, I like the aides and the nurses. They're pretty nice. They do have activities and they try to keep things, but with my mom and her memory issues, they don't always come to get her and I think they should be more active in that area. They should make sure the people get to the activities and not just let them sit in their rooms, because people with dementia don't remember what's going on. Also their food is little more normal, like a little more institutional.

The marketing group (admissions) low balls your fees and then 6 months in they are jacked up, skipping levels of care. The memory care unit is understaffed. They can't keep a MCU director. They look don't keep good records - changing the primary care physician to their own DR. when I wanted our family DR. This allowed them to medicate my mother when I wanted only palliative care...until I saw the pharmacy bill and stopped it...many times. They could not deal with my parent because they were an "active" patient. Walking almost to the end of life. They can only handle the seniors that sit in wheel chairs all day and don't speak. Hospice could bathe my parent daily but their staff could not because they do not understand how to deal with an active ALZ patient. In fact they requested us to call hospice so it would take some of my mother's care off of their shoulders. Nobody could understand palliative care and once scolded me for not precribing an antibiotic - NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. And finally, although they treated us well as my parent laid dying (pillows, chairs and food) after the death, after hospice had been called to pronounce death, they still called the ambulance and I had to prevent the EMTs from reviving the deceased. Why did they do this? To protect their own butts...even though we spent the last 24 hours at the bedside awaiting the blessing of death.
