The Cedarhurst community celebrated its grand opening Thursday evening. A large number of guests and new residents of the facility  attended the celebration, which included food made specially from their state of the art kitchen.

According to Executive Director Melissa Holcom, Cedarhurst’s goals are to supply the elderly the best care and environment for their needs with a focus on creating a home where each person feels loved, valued, supported, and is able to live their life to the fullest.

The building itself started construction in September of 2022, which marked the beginning of a cutting edge senior housing facility. The doors opened on January 15th, gaining a steady crowd of new members.

“One of the main reasons why I think it is important for the community is that we have a true memory care program. Both of my parents suffered from Alzheimer’s.” Says Holcom “Here they can age in place. This is their home, it’s a beautiful environment, and  they can feel safe here. It doesn’t feel like an institution and they are allowed the services they need in order to maintain a sense of both reality and humanity.” 

With specialized staff on hand to accommodate those needs, Cedarhurst supplies many services such as a personalized all-day dining program called “Crafted” with specials and a diverse menu featuring chef-inspired meals.

There’s also a resident-focused life enrichment program tailored to meet the unique interests and preferences of each resident, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their daily lives. 

Included in the cost of rent is also laundry services and various housekeeping services, as well as a movie theater, and the many beautiful courtyards and outdoor socializing spaces.  

“Our main purpose is to supply the elderly the best environment and care they can get. Here at Cedarhurst, I’m happy to be of that service.” Says Holcom
