Here's just a few comments from our patients and their families:

"Mr. Wiesel,
My family is so appreciative of the care and concern given to us during my father’s stay there. We’re so thankful he was cared for by such a professional, understanding, and concerned staff."
~ Joanne M.

"I would like to take this time to express my feelings about the treatment I am receiving on the 1st floor. From the moment I arrived here, the nurses, aides, wound care specialist, therapy staff, and social workers have promptly taken care of my needs. This has made my stay here very pleasant, and has helped in my recovery."
~ Phyllis S. (patient)

"Dear Vicki,
I recently hosted an 89th birthday party for my Dad at Cedar Oaks. Five of my father’s friends came. I brought sandwiches and two cakes. The room was so cheerful and full of sunlight. Lani was extremely helpful and a maintenance staff member helped us rig up a TV and VCR. Thanks to you, it was a most memorable day for my Dad."
~ Michelle H.

"Nurses Aides, Recreation Staff, Therapists and Maintenance Dept.
I am writing to thank everyone on the staff at Cedar Oaks with preparing and assisting the residents so that they could join in on our Monday morning mass. The ladies are always beautifully dressed, and the men have their hair combed so nice. We are so grateful, as we know it’s over and above your regular duties. It is also evidence of the tender, loving care you give every day. You are good people."
~ Volunteer from Sacred Heart

"To the Staff,
May God bless and reward you for all the good service you gave my sister."
~ Jennie

"Mr. Wiesel, Kathy and Vicki,
Because of you, my mother’s last 2-1/2 years were not spent within the four walls of her bedroom. She was able to enjoy sunshine, flowers, fresh air and barbecues on the patio. She looked forward to the trips to the mall, church services, and especially Bingo. She even attended the Halloween and New Year’s parties. She also made many friends. I will continue to highly recommend Cedar Oaks – you’re all doing God’s work on Earth, and I thank you so much."
~ Joanne G.

"To all of the following - Administration, Doctors, Nurses, Assts., Food Handlers, Dieticians, Cooks, Maintenance, and, of course, all of the people responsible for “patient comfort”...A personal thank you from our family for the great care you gave our mother, Emma M. She always praised the consideration and kind attention that the staff gave her, and he personal touch given to all of her needs. Sometimes in our busy lives, we forget to thank people like you, who make life more enjoyable and easier to contend with."

"Mr. Wiesel,
I cannot thank the Cedar Oaks staff enough for helping and guiding me through the difficult time after my stroke. You have great facility! Shalom and peace on earth."
~ Linda G.

"To all nurses and staff,
I can’t thank YOU ALL enough for the three weeks I stayed there, and the kindness you showed me. I will remember all of you for being so good to me. I’ll drop by soon, when I’m walking a bit better with my cane."
~ Josephine F.

"To the Staff,
I wanted to thank the Cedar Oaks staff, the nurses, aids, hospice social workers, and all other staff members of the Wing for the wonderful care you gave to Dominick. It didn’t take us long to realize there was no better place for him. We know everybody has a job to do, but what makes the difference is the extra loving care, dedication and affection that you put into that job. If that is how we should judge a nursing home, then there is no better facility than Cedar Oaks."
~ John S.

"Just a quick note to tell you this facility has some very nice people working here. You are all to be commended in dealing with Richard who we all know can be difficult at times. You seem to know how to reach him in a favorable way. The nurses’ upbeat and happy attitudes are as much good medicine, if not better, than the pills he has to take. The fact that you were able to bring my Richard to the surface just warms my heart. I deeply appreciate you all."
~ Paulette A.

"I (initially) shed many tears over the fact that my mother had to go into a nursing home due to her illness. My tears were wiped away when I witnessed the superb TLC given at Cedar Oaks. The staff is magnificent. I am eternally grateful to you."
