community expansion

Did you know that the original nursing homes were designed after hospitals? In the new Household Model design planned for the new Cedar Woods Health Care Center, there will be no lengthy hospital-like corridors with little privacy for residents.

Cedarfield’s Person-Centered approach effect on a “nursing home” is to shape it into a personal community, household, and neighborhood. Cedarfield’s new Health Care Center will have two “households” which allow for 20 residents on each floor. Every resident will enjoy

• A spacious private bedroom
• Full bath

Each room is situated off of the private living areas — just like home. The household will be designed with a fully functioning kitchen where residents can be involved with meal preparation if they choose. The beauty of having a kitchen within each household is that alternative food is accessible to residents 24 hours a day… and fridge raiding is encouraged!

Spacious living rooms and dining rooms in each household will be designed for family gatherings or group activities for those who wish to participate. Easy access to the outdoors will be a very important component of the new design, making it possible for residents to enjoy time outside on our lovely campus on a regular basis.
