What
is The Cedars?
The Cedars is a 20-acre campus conveniently located in Western
Cranston, Rhode Island and includes Cedar Crest Subacute & Rehabilitation
Centre and the future Cedar Hill Retirement Resort and Cedar
Point Assisted Living. Our mission is to offer a total continuum
of healthcare services and senior living options in a single
location - independent living, assisted living, nursing care,
& rehabilitation care and services. This will provide our residents
with peace-of-mind knowing that should their needs change, they
do not need to move.
-
Is
there a Waiting List?
Cedar Crest Subacute & Rehabilitation Centre has a continual
flow of new patient arrivals from area hospitals - admitting
and discharging back to home over 1000 people each year. Our
Special Care unit called Generations (for residents with Alzheimer's
disease or other memory impairment) does have a waiting list.
For information, call our Admissions Director at 401-944-8500.
Cedar Hill Retirement Resort and Cedar Point Assisted Living
Centre are in the pre-construction phase of marketing. While
we prepare to for future ground breaking, we are developing
a waiting list of prospective residents. Specific apartments
can be secured for future residency with a refundable deposit.
For information, please call our Director of Marketing at 401-944-2100.

What
should I consider when selecting a retirement community?
One of the most common objections we hear from people considering
a move to a retirement community is "I'm not ready yet". While
it is true that moving from a home you've lived in for years
can be daunting, we intend to make your move to Cedar Hill as
stress free as possible, with services ranging from real estate
and financial counsel, move-in coordination and interior decorating.
Cedar Hill Retirement Resort was carefully designed with a goal
to create a very special place with services and amenities so
wonderful, so exciting and so invigorating that you wished you
had made the move even sooner.
Another common objection is "We can't afford it." Cedar Hill
was also designed to reduce your financial risks by creating
a single predictable, affordable monthly fee that includes most
of your regular expenses plus many other benefits including
wellness management, housekeeping, meal allowance, and discounted
health center fees. The entrance fee structure of Cedar Hill
protects your estate by providing a guaranteed return of either
90% or 75% of your original amount paid, depending on the plan
you select.
-
Will
I be able move to Cedar Point Assisted Living Centre even if
I never lived at Cedar Hill Retirement Resort?
Yes. Residents of Cedar Hill will be able to receive many health
care services in their own home or they can move to a new apartment
at Cedar Point. People from the community-at-large will be able
to move directly from their home outside The Cedars to an assisted
living apartment at Cedar Point and pay a monthly fee for services.
-
What
is a subacute & rehabilitation center?
Unlike a care nursing home where people move-in to receive long-term
care, Cedar Crest Subacute & Rehabilitation has transformed
our services to focus on short-term, transitional care. The
Cedar Crest Subacute & Rehabilitation program was designed for
patients with physical, medical and cognitive impairments who
would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. The patients
most appropriate for this program are those whose diagnoses
are orthopedic conditions, stroke, neurological disorders, or
those who have experienced general weakness or deconditioning
following surgery or an illness.
-
At
Cedar Crest Subacute & Rehabilitation Centre, what is the process
for me to go home?
As soon as a patient is admitted to Cedar Crest, we begin to
plan for their discharge back home. Our individually tailored
therapy and rehabilitation program focuses on maximizing the
level of independence for our patients. Therefore, our comprehensive
approach to care planning includes home evaluation, patient
and family education, and coordination of home care services
after discharge.
-
Can
I have visitors at The Cedars?
Visitors are always welcome at The Cedars. At Cedar Crest Subacute
& Rehabilitation Centre family and friends are welcome anytime,
but are encouraged to visit between the hours of 1 pm and 7
pm.
When Cedar Hill Retirement Resort is open, we are assuming that
our wonderful community of exciting programs and amenities will
make it difficult for you to keep your family and friends from
becoming frequent guests. From an early morning tennis match
to cocktails in the Rendezvous Bar & Grille, you will have plenty
of opportunity to entertain. Your home at Cedar Hill will be
just that - your home. You will be able have guests (grandchildren
included!) for overnight stays.
