Cedar Crest

Cedar Crest was a very nice place. Everything looked nice in there. I wasn't crazy about the fact that you have to put down a chunk of money, but it's 85% refundable. It's something I would look at because the rent is lower than most places. The staff were knowledgeable and courteous. They had a lot of amenities, which I liked. I was hoping that they have a swimming pool, but they said that would be a liability. Other than that, they have a lot to do. They have walking trails. They were going to put up some new piers along the Rock River, so that's nice for people to go sit down with their dogs and go fishing. And everything was in the community as far as care, from independent to assisted to memory care. In terms of location, there are restaurants right in the immediate area and there are shopping close by. There's also banking if you want that.

I was impressed with Cedar Crest. Their apartment was roomy. It's really good and they got a lot going on. They have a beautiful woodworking area, a great exercise room, and a dining room that looked really good, too. The staff was very friendly. It's neat and we were very interested in them.

We went to Cedar Crest. We would have bought a small house there, except not only do they not allow smoking, but they also don't allow e-cigarettes, which makes no sense to me at all. We have to walk about eighty yards to light up a cigarette. It's very nice. It's a house, but once you're in, it's very easy to move up to higher levels of care. We just saw the house. It was lovely, and it had beautiful floors. It was just a lovely new house with plenty of room; it was well planned and nice. We would have to have a two-bedroom and a two-car garage. The person who gave the tour was excellent. He's been there for a number of years, he is a fairly young fellow, he answered all our questions, and he anticipated a lot of our questions. They have a lot of activities to keep them busy, the surroundings are beautiful, and a great deal of it is surrounded by woods.

We chose Cedar Crest for my parents because it is close to family, friends, and doctors' appointments. We didn’t really get to see how they take care of any residents because of COVID-19. They just took us through the facility and a tour of the place. They were very good. It is close to everything in Janesville, it's reputable, and has been there for many, many years. It was just a gorgeous place, very pretty, and very nice. It has nice gardens, very pretty, and wooded in the back.

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 more like a hospital room, not a homey type. The staff gave a good presentation. I liked that they also had assisted living there. My mother could have been admitted under long-term care and moved into assisted living if she had improved. There were a lot of people sitting out in the common areas, and there were a lot of less-abled bodies. The location was a little challenging because of the road work, but the grounds were very nice.
