Cedar Crest of Silver Lake

Cedar Crest of Silver Lake was a very nice location. You had the lake to look at, but it was very small, and it's not for someone who can take care of themselves 90% of the time. They take care of everything like they take care of your pills. It was a very nice tour. The staff who gave the tour was very informative, knew all the information, and answered all our questions. They have a salon. They have plenty of outdoor space to walk or to sit by the lake. They would do your laundry. They take care of everything, and if you need that kind of assistance, that's a perfect place to go.

Cedar Crest of Silver Lake is a very nice community. Nice facilities. It's just that I don't think I'm ready to go there yet. There are plenty of nice rooms for the residents. They seem to have plenty of activities, too. I saw the dining room and some of the individual living spaces. There was a singalong exercise get-together going on while I was there. The dining area is lovely. It's better than my house. The staff who gave the tour was very accommodating and very friendly. The outdoor spaces were very nice and neat. It was cold when I was there, so I don't think people have been using the outdoors so much, but there's a lake right there that they can observe and walk around. The rooms were much more spacious than I expected. They're kind of a little efficiency apartment for each room, so they can segregate their living space from their bedroom and kitchenette area.

Cedar Crest of Silver Lake looked like a nice option, but it still had the feel of a nursing care facility. It was a beautiful location right on the lake. I got a great tour of the place. The son of the founder did a great job of showing me around. He was very, very friendly. He's been there pretty much his whole life because his Mom started it. He seemed to know everybody and everybody knew him. Everyone seemed very friendly and professional. The room was kind of small, and you could bring your own furniture. They had living spaces, living rooms, and dining areas where people could go. Another downside would be that none of the apartments had an independent shower. There was a toilet in the apartment, but everybody had to go through a bathing room, which I didn't like at all for my dad. He would not feel comfortable with that. Heating and cooling were not a problem, but they won't provide a refrigerator or anything like that.

My dad is at Cedar Crest of Silver Lake. We like it because of the staff, the location, and the cost. If there is any type of issue, they call us. They keep us updated every time we step in there, just as to how he's doing throughout the day, and they encourage him to participate in activities. He is in the memory care area and they check on him every half hour if he's not out doing an activity. Everybody has a single room. They're all the same size and they're very, very spacious. You can put things on the wall and make it as homey as you like.

Cedar Crest of Silver Lake has both assisted living and memory care on the same complex. It's on a lake so it's a very nice setting. We're very pleased with the person who gave us the tour, the manager I believe. All the meals were included there and everything. The rooms were studios, so they were small and my mom and dad would have to be each in a separate room, that's why we didn't choose that. I had asked them if the assisted living was bigger, but they said they're both the same size as the memory care. They had amenities and also activities there. Their utilities were all wrapped into one place, which was a nice benefit.

I toured Cedar Crest of Silverlake and I liked it very much. I liked everything about it except it was a little bit too far from my siblings. The staff was excellent. Everyone was very cheery and everybody greeted me and it seemed like a very well-run place. The rooms had a nice view. They're right on the lakes so it was really nice. I liked the way it was set up. I liked their outside seating. The bathroom where they gave them baths was really nice. I wanted to take my mom there. The dining area had a nice setup too.
