I didn't see many people walking around at Cedar Crest. It's a beautiful facility that felt big. When I walk through a lovely, newly redone facility with carpeting and you only see two or three people, I get a little bit concerned. I didn't know where the people were. The rooms were very nice. They had a schedule of activities. They were very good about giving us a really nice tour. I didn't ask about the assisted living because all of the rooms were occupied. They have a policy that they won't invade the residents' privacy, so we went to see the apartments in the independent living, and they were very nice. They had people come in to sing and do activities.

Cedar Crest was top notch. They had incorporated in the facility a rehab, and my mother was actually there for rehab from an injury. She was very pleased with the service that she received while she was there. She was comfortable at the facility. However, it was 15 miles further away, and it was a higher cost.

Cedar Crest Assisted Living facility looked very well kept from the outside. The grounds were nicely landscaped, with tranquil tree-lined walkways and seating areas. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. They asked us about our uncle's living habits and explained how his life would be here. This facility had ample communal rooms for every activity imaginable, from reading in the library, to card games, physical exercise, ceramics and crafting and hosted meetings. The fitness center offers regular exercise classes and the ability to use the equipment bikes, treadmills and strength training machines. Some residents choose to get their exercise by walking around the grounds. The main dining room was nice, with plenty of space. The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus all had healthy food options for all kinds of diets. Healthy snacks are offered all day and into the evening, as well as whenever residents request them. All units were well designed, efficient and yet still spacious. The living spaces were generous, and the studio and one bedroom we saw was beautifully decorated with lots of fresh air and light. The outside activities featured many interesting cultural events in Janesville and the surrounding areas. They host singalongs, and other music gatherings a well as other interesting events. Seniors can do craft projects, tend the garden and visit the large auditorium for other interesting discussions and group events. This facility can accommodate a variety of ambulation levels and as a resident's needs change, care can be shifted between assisted living, personal care, rehabilitation, nursing, Alzheimer's, memory, respite and hospice care. This is a very well-designed, full service living environment for seniors that includes everything they need. We were very impressed and the staff seemed exceptionally helpful, kind and caring.
