McKinley Place

McKinley Place is a clean, very light and airy facility. The rooms have nice sized windows, high ceilings and large bathrooms. Mom's laundry is done weekly and she uses the salon every other week. Kacie is so sweet and does a great job with her hair. Linda out front is FABULOUS. She has answers to everything and a quick smile for everyone. When I need to pick mom up for an appointment, the staff has her ready for me. They have a great variety of food which is well prepared and a beautiful fireplace in the spacious dining room. The staff there is always responsive and have treated mom with respect and kindness. Absolutely no complaints - it is wonderful knowing that she is well taken care of. We are there multiple times a week so we see different shifts and the real "goings on" at McKinley. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an assisted living facility.

This place is beautiful! They just had a complete remodel and it is unlike any other facility I've ever seen! My mom is here and she absolutely loves the Activity Director, Karri. The care givers are amazing and attentive. They have a wonderful Salon that my mom is crazy about. She always looks good and the place smells great, too. I highly recommend!

Very nice experience. During tour management staff all took time to introduce themselves and chat a bit. Told they have all new management staff - seem very caring and compassionate. Also introduced to residents while touring, very friendly and welcoming as well. Outstanding activity program; activities from morning to evening. Bus for weekly outings, told it is handicap equipped. Impressed they have weekly live piano performances. It was explained remodeling is to start any day now with new carpeting, paint and light fixtures. Very impressed with my experience!

My mom is living at McKinley Place. The facility itself looks very nice, and that’s what caught our attention. This place seems like the best of all the places by far. By looks, it is rated like a 10 compared to the other ones. They have studio apartments and single-bedroom apartments. They are nice. They offered to let us borrow a piece of the bedroom furniture for a couple of months. They are very kind. They gave us like a bed, a nightstand, and a desk table. However, as far as the staff is concerned, we are having trouble with it. They have six levels of care at that place, and we are at level five. One of the things that we want is for them to take my mom to the toilet every two hours, but that is not happening; it can be three to four hours. Therefore, my mom has a problem with wetting. They have an awesome young man for activities. He has taken the adults to the theater, and he has brought in music people. They come in and play the piano. They have activities like that. They’re pretty good about activities, but they could improve on staffing. They should be more compassionate.

This place needs to be shut down. The staff (the few that there are) are great. But there aren't enough and they're extremely overworked. I've had numerous first hand experience with both sides of this building and it's a nightmare. The administration is incompetent and extremely unpleasant to work with. Do yourself a favor and find some place else.

Jerri and her team are wonderful. Everyone is always friendly and incredibly helpful. They came into our lives at one of the most difficult moments possible yet made the transition easy. Cedar Gardens is clean, bright, friendly and homey. The staff is always smiling and greets us everytime we are there. We are incredibly grateful to Jerri and will never forget her compassion and caring ways. Thank you to all at Cedar Gardens!!!

VERY under-staffed!! Also, management seems to have a "we really don't care" attitude.

Cedar Gardens was terrible and the facilities were run down. The manager is brash and abrupt; she would not show us a room. I did not get the feeling that there was a lot of caring there. My gut tells me it's not a good place. I would never consider putting my mother there. I would not recommend that place to anyone.
