Cedarhurst of Tesson Heights offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living. Residents who need clinical oversight have access to wound care management, oxygen support, and physician-ordered special diets. The nursing team also manages diabetes at every level—oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale regimens—so glucose control can be maintained without outside appointments.

Additional care features include programs for residents with mild dementia, and staff are prepared to help with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting when only some physical assistance is required. A podiatrist, audiologist, dentist, and therapy professionals see residents on site, and the community accepts psychiatric diagnoses. RN or LPN coverage is supported by a nurse on call 24 hours a day, with background-checked caregivers, round-the-clock security, personal emergency response systems, and pull-cord alerts. Transfers are accommodated for walkers, wheelchairs, and one-person assist.

Apartments come in multiple layouts; some include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and cable service, while others offer a simpler floor plan. Weekly housekeeping and scheduled laundry are standard. Independent Living residents may opt into medication-management monitoring, routine housekeeping, laundry, and a monthly meal plan for predictable budgeting.

Meals are served restaurant-style with a daily set menu and an always-available on-order list. Therapeutic diets prescribed by physicians are honored. A private dining room can be reserved for family meals or special events, and residents in Independent Living can choose how many meals to include in their personal plan.

Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, and full wheelchair accessibility across the campus. Amenities include an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, library, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge assistance, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
