Cedar Village Senior Residences in Cedar Rapids, IA
4.0

My love one is doing fine since her move to this community. We have not had any problems, or concerns. We do feel she is safe, and in good hands. They have a kind, friendly staff. They do a good job with the cleanliness around the community. Everything is going well, and this is probably would be a community we would recommend.

Moved in day one! No regrets. I'm not interested in facade and opulence. All I need is kindness and respect. Showered with both here.
