This is my 2nd year working here and I can say residents and staff have become my second family! We now have more staff on duty per shift to make everything run smoothly! Our Lifestyle Director has done an amazing job at decorating and executing activities, outings and events for residents and community to enjoy! I enjoy this place 🥰

We recently moved my parents, who are in their 90's from another assisted living facility to Cedar Village. It's only been about a month but we are thrilled with the facitlity, very caring staff and tasty food! My parents (and us) are much happier at Cedar Village. The staff is very engaged with the residents, and they seem to hava a higher staff to resident ratio that in our previous experiences. This is the 3rd assisted living facility we've experienced in the past 3 years, so far the best! The staff is wonderful, the enviroment light, bright and cheery, lots of activities offered, and the staff highly engaged with residents encouraging them to do more than sit in their rooms watching TV. They even bring in therapy dogs sometimes! We are concerned that the current management, Frontier Management LLC, is changing to a new management compnay, Cogir SL, Oregon II, LLC in the coming months. (approx May 2025). We were just recently notified early this month. We are in high hopes that the high level of care and engagement, meals, activities, and services will continue on as they are now.
