Does Cedarfield have a waitlist and how does it work?

Additionally, financial resources should be sufficient to allow an enjoyable lifestyle.

If I come to Cedarfield as a Lifecare resident, should I continue my Long Term Care insurance?

Yet this type of insurance could be beneficial. It is suggested you consult with your insurance provider before making decisions regarding your individual policy.

If I carry Medicare and a Medicare supplement policy, what benefits would this offer me at Cedarfield?

Combined with a lower entrance fee and monthly service fee, as well as a choice in monthly service plans, it also guarantees the resident an independent living residence, services, and amenities. The resident will have access to health services upon availability.

There are two guest rooms to accommodate residents’ guests. Breakfast in the Atrium Café is included in the daily fee.
