Cedars Connect
From the President
Five years and counting
By Bob Woodruff

The Cedars of Chapel Hill is celebrating its Fifth Anniversary and it has exceeded all expectations. It has been acclaimed across the country as the new standard by which retirement communities are judged. The Cedars represents a new wave of resident-owned communities where extraordinary service is the norm. Some call it the premier retirement community in the country.
Chapel Hill is the home of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University is a short ride away. We’re minutes from two world- renown hospitals at UNC and Duke. Being within two hours of the mountains and coast creates outstanding vacation opportunities without a lot of travel time. And with four distinct seasons, it’s almost like being on a year-long vacation.
But the most outstanding thing about The Cedars is the people who live here. There is a great mix of people who have lived all over the world; who have had interesting and unusual careers and have experienced and impacted historical events. It is an active community that is more than a marketing slogan. From aerobic classes, to lectures, to movies, to overseas trips – and everything in-between.
Our licensed home care agency allows our Members to stay in their homes longer, without having to move to smaller assisted living units. Quality of life and being able to stay in one’s home as long as possible is important to all of us.
We’re proud of our Five Star rating (the highest rating given) for The DuBose Health Center from The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Our staffing levels are greater than any community in our area and the focus on Member care is outstanding. Personalized care, from rehab to meals to activities, is the standard.
And no place is worth its salt without a strong financial underpinning. Our financial model of home ownership and no vacancy risk makes it the envy of many. There is security and peace of mind not found in most communities.
Come see how great life can be at The Cedars – with a staff that caters to you and where you have the security and peace of mind you deserve.
Today there are homes available and prices that may never be seen again. If you would like more information about The Cedars, please call us and we’ll arrange a time to meet or send you additional information.
