The Woods at Cedar Run sits in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by streams, mature trees, and the Susquehanna River, and there's something calming about walking the trails there or sitting by the gazebo while listening to birds in their aviary, and you know they let residents keep their cats and dogs, which is nice for people who don't want to leave their pets behind, and they've got private residences that can be furnished or unfurnished with private baths, full tubs, kitchens, and even washer and dryer, while each room has access to Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and the place stays wheelchair accessible for anyone with mobility needs. Residents here choose from independent living, personal care, memory care in a separate building, skilled care, respite care, and even home care if that's what they need, and the levels of care mean people can stay as their needs change, so even if someone starts out more independent, there's help with personal care, bathing, dressing, laundry, and managing medications if that's needed later. There are licensed nurses on staff all day and night, a doctor on call, and visits from specialists like podiatrists, therapists, and other professionals who watch out for residents, plus medication care managers and techs handle medicine and injections, and the staff can help with assisted transfers using lifts for anyone who has trouble moving from a bed to a wheelchair.
There's a full-time activity director who lines up stretching, yoga, art classes, brain games, community service, gardening, intergenerational visits, karaoke, outings, trivia, Wii bowling, wine tasting, and more-and there are regular trips out for shopping or just for fun, so people aren't stuck inside, and with devotional services both onsite and off, anyone wanting spiritual connection can find it, and there's a chapel for quiet time. The memory care side sits in its own secured building, using things like computerized wandering alerts and motorized bracelets to help keep residents safe if they're likely to wander, even for people who may have hard-to-manage behaviors or are an elopement risk, and there's a memory care philosophy aimed at making everyone feel like they belong, with activities to help preserve skills, plus support for families. Meals come restaurant-style with options for vegetarians, vegans, gluten-free diets, and people who need low salt or low sugar, and if someone has trouble eating in the dining room, they can have meals in a private dining space or get room service, and a chef considers dietary needs, too. There are common areas both inside and outside, places like a movie theater, library, coffee shop, salon/barber, fitness center, solarium dining room, outdoor patio, and gathering spaces, as well as paths, gardens, and a gazebo for everyone to enjoy some fresh air. Weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and transportation for doctor's appointments make life easier, while special services like physical, speech, and occupational therapy are available on-site, and when a break is needed, respite care offers short stays including post-surgery or caregiver relief.
Security stays in place throughout the campus, so anyone at risk of getting lost is protected, and there's always staff around for help, monitoring, or reminders. Residents can use various online logins, like Facebook or Messenger, and they can interact with Meta services and products if that's interesting to them. Guests can eat with residents, and there's catering for private parties if families come by for special events, and anyone interested in seeing the place before moving in can do a 30-day trial, plus there are tours and a video gallery for a better look around. There's nothing especially fancy or overdone here, but for people looking for a quieter place to live with solid support, some unique programs, and a chance to keep pets nearby, The Woods at Cedar Run offers a lot of extras in a calm setting.
