The food at this community is excellent. They offer three meals a day as well as two snacks. They have a bistro and drinks available all day. The staff strive to please and are friendly. The housekeeping staff does a good job of keeping the community clean. I like the design of the community. They keep the families active with each other.

We chose The Oaks at Fairmount because I was looking for a long time and I was looking for one she could afford and we would not have to sell her house but was still nice. The Oaks fit the bill great. The room sizes are smaller and they do have shared bathrooms, but they have options depending on the mobility of the person, the better the room the more it costs. It is a smaller facility, maybe 30 residents and the owner and the administrative staff are very conscious of the furniture, it is really a nice place that has a homey feel. They decorate beautifully to match all of the seasons. One thing that they could improve on would be feeding residents' diabetic needs. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at Cedarhurst of Canton for one year now. The people who run the facility are very caring and awesome. The staff do many things for her. They go beyond what they are required to do. They got a new cook that she loves. They find the food that she likes for meals. She does have a choice if the meal that is being prepared doesn't quite go with her food requirements. She says that she's allergic to a lot of food that she's not. She just can't eat it because of heartburn. The crafts, the exercise and the entertainment are amazing. She was a very non-social person when she went in, other than going to her church. She now does activities every day within the facility. She has not yet ventured to Walmart or out to the restaurants with the other ladies. She loves [name removed], the lady in charge of the activities. They have had fashion shows, Mother's Day luncheons, movie nights, every holiday function that there is. They had a competition for gingerbread houses, etc. She enjoys the lady who comes and does their hair, I believe, on Tuesdays. She just had her toenails done by the podiatrist yesterday. She is thriving and doing great. And yes, the transition from her house and living on her own to going to Cedarhurst was made so much simpler by the staff and all of those who run the office.
