The Cedars

🎓 We are proud to celebrate six graduates from our in-house Earn While You Learn CNA program! These dedicated team members are building meaningful careers while helping meet the growing need for compassionate caregivers in our community.

Each graduate brings a unique story and passion for caregiving. One is a registered nurse in their home country, while another has been serving in our Assisted Living community and chose to take the next step in their professional journey.

Congratulations to all six graduates on this incredible accomplishment! We are grateful for your commitment to our residents and can't wait to see the impact you will continue to make at The Cedars. 💙

Pizza, w**e, sunshine, and good friends... that's a recipe for a perfect evening! 🍕🍷☀️ Happy Friday!

We are proud to partner with Lunder-Dineen Health Education Alliance of Maine as we continue to strengthen oral health practices for our residents. Thank you for the recognition and for your ongoing support and collaboration!

We were in Portland this week spending time with the team at the Cedars. This team has implemented the MOTIVATE oral health education program at their Center and were meeting with Lunder-Dineen’s Denise OConnell, post program, to continue to examine how to implement what they learned and to continue to explore additional opportunities for program enhancement. They are leaders in Maine by making oral health a priority for their staff and for their residents.

🦋 A little visitor getting ready for a big journey! Residents at The Cedars have been raising monarch butterflies, and each release has been a special event. Watching them emerge, spread their wings, and head off on their migration has been nothing short of amazing. Safe travels, monarch! 🍂✨

🎻 We always look forward to welcoming the Cassatt String Quartet back to The Cedars. Their talent is truly exceptional, and their performances are a highlight for so many of our residents. Thank you for another beautiful afternoon of music!

Celebrating Environmental Services Week!

This week, we recognize the dedicated Environmental Services professionals who help ensure our community remains clean, safe, welcoming, and comfortable for everyone who lives, works, and visits here.

Their contributions are essential to the resident experience and to the smooth operation of our organization. We are grateful for their professionalism, reliability, and commitment to excellence.

Thank you to our Environmental Services team for all you do to support our mission and enrich life at The Cedars every day.

S'mores on the patio? Yes, please! 🍫🔥☀️

A big thank you to Nick, our Life Enrichment Manager, for creating a fun and meaningful afternoon for residents at The Hoffman Center. The familiar smell of roasting marshmallows sparked stories, memories, and conversations of campfires and family traditions from years gone by. Sometimes the sweetest moments are the ones that bring us back to cherished memories. ❤️

The Cedars Wishes you a Shana Tova! May your year be filled with sweetness, joy, and prosperity. 🍎🍯

A heartfelt thank you to Rabbi Simmons-Blumenfeld for joining us at The Cedars to lead an early Rosh Hashanah service. Our residents appreciated the opportunity to come together in observance of this important holiday and enjoy a meaningful morning of worship, reflection, and connection.

We are grateful to honor cherished traditions and create opportunities for community as we look ahead to the High Holy Days. 🍎🍯✨
