Residents and their families say:

Cedar Crest of Silver Lake receives numerous positive comments for its beautiful setting, accommodating staff, and the range of activities and amenities provided to residents. Reviewers consistently praise the community for its cleanliness, spacious rooms, and the quality of care and food. The picturesque lakeside location, coupled with friendly and professional staff, creates a welcoming and home-like atmosphere for residents. Activities such as music, exercises, and crafts, alongside the singalong exercise gatherings, contribute to the vibrant community life. The fact that each resident can personalize their living space, adding personal touches to the walls and arranging their own furniture, was highly appreciated. Furthermore, the community's policy of keeping families informed about their loved ones' wellbeing and encouraging resident participation in activities showcases their dedication to resident engagement and family peace of mind.

However, some concerns were noted, mostly regarding room size and certain shared facilities. A few reviewers expressed that the rooms felt too small, particularly for couples who would prefer to live together but might have to opt for separate accommodations due to the studio layout. The shared bathing facility, rather than private showers in each apartment, was another point of discomfort mentioned by visitors. Despite these critiques, the positive aspects such as the comprehensive care spanning from assisted living to memory and total care, the quality of meals, and the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the facility were frequently highlighted. The community's ability to provide a seamless continuum of care, as well as the personal history and engagement of the staff members—many of whom have long-standing ties to the facility—engender a strong sense of community and trust among residents and their families.
