Cedar Hill Senior Living in Cedartown offers two primary levels of care: assisted living for residents who need help with daily activities and a dedicated memory care program for those living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Short-term respite stays are available, giving family caregivers a break or supporting recovery after hospitalization. The community can also accommodate residents with diabetes through specialized monitoring and dietary management and provides a mental wellness program for mood and behavioral support. Regular physician visits and on-site speech therapy ensure residents receive timely clinical oversight, while the secured setting helps reduce wandering risk for memory-care residents.

Medical services extend beyond routine assistance. Licensed nurses are on site up to 16 hours a day, coordinating medication management, incontinence care, ambulatory support, and hospice services when needed. Occupational, physical, and speech therapists visit regularly, and a podiatrist is available for preventive foot care and treatment. The memory care neighborhood is designed specifically to accommodate memory loss and features an enclosed courtyard that allows residents to spend time outside safely. Laundry and dry-cleaning services are integrated into the care plan, minimizing daily chores for residents and families.

Accommodations range from studio apartments to companion suites, many with private or shared wheelchair-accessible showers. Some units include kitchenettes, cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and individual climate controls, while others offer simpler layouts. Residents have access to on-site parking, including uncovered spaces, and a butterfly garden for quiet reflection. Cats are allowed, and common areas include a library and computer lounge, a piano or organ for music enthusiasts, and outdoor seating areas. Because layouts and features vary, not every residence includes all amenities.

Dining is structured yet flexible. Three meals a day are prepared by a professional chef, with all-day dining options for residents who prefer a different schedule. Menus accommodate kosher, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, organic, low-sodium, and no-sugar preferences. Guests can purchase meals, allowing families to eat with loved ones in the restaurant-style dining room. Seasonal ingredients and portion control support diabetes care and overall wellness.

To promote engagement, Cedar Hill provides an activity center that hosts clubs and social outings, live music performances, karaoke nights, birthday parties, happy hours, dances, and fitness programs including yoga and chair yoga. Residents can enjoy raised garden beds, indoor and outdoor walking paths, a swimming pool, and organized community events. Social calendars are updated regularly so residents can select the level of participation that suits their interests and abilities.

Residents and their families say:

This community garners accolades for its welcoming environment, attentive staff, and the commendable level of care provided to residents, evident in numerous positive experiences shared by reviewers. Many have expressed gratitude towards the staff for their dedicated and caring approach, highlighting how staff members go above and beyond in ensuring the well-being of residents. There's praise for the community's cleanliness, the variety of activities available for residents, and the quality of meals provided, with one reviewer noting the food tasted great. The renovated rooms, each with a private bath, were also mentioned favorably, signifying the community's efforts to offer a comfortable and private living space.

However, amidst the plethora of commendations, certain criticisms emerge, albeit from a minority. Concerns about the community's association with a particular pharmacy that reportedly charged higher prices for medications were mentioned, alongside a singular report of falling standards under new management and care concerns, specifically regarding the handling of medication and the level of attention given to residents with significant health issues. Notably, the issue of medication pricing was the only specific negative point mentioned more than once, suggesting it could be an area for the community to reassess.

Despite these criticisms, the prevailing sentiment among most reviewers is one of satisfaction and confidence in the level of care their loved ones receive. The community is often described as not just a care facility, but a home where residents are treated with respect, dignity, and affection. There is a strong sense of trust in the community's ability to keep residents safe and clean, further cemented by positive comments on the efficiency of the administration and the homeliness of the environment. The community's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, was met with appreciation from family members, who were reassured by the stringent measures in place to protect the well-being of residents.
