My loved one is currently a resident at Morada Cedar Hill and everything about the experience has been great. The staff and care services are great. The cleanliness and friendliness are also great. It's a beautiful facility! I would recommend Morada Cedar Hill to others.
A resident here for 10 years. I cannot imagine these past 10 years without the friends and care received here. For your sake and that of your caring family, this is where you need to be!
I think it is great. Everybody is close knit like a family. I have never been any place like this where all of the residents have joined together. Before COVID, the food was really good and it was fun. On Friday nights, we would have wine and different types of food. It was always a nice meal. I love my apartment. I have a little balcony with a courtyard view. I intend to just stay here. I never want to live anywhere else.
