“Why should I sell my house and move to Cedar Crest?” It’s a reasonable question, and one that elicits several answers, ranging from the economic benefits to the maintenance-free lifestyle.

But surely one of the most compelling reasons is the outstanding health care enjoyed by people who live at Cedar Crest. Health care that isn’t merely available at Cedar Crest—it’s ingrained in everything we do. It’s part of our fabric and one of the main reasons our community exists in the first place.

Think About This . . .

As you compare the advantages of living at Cedar Crest with what you can expect from staying at your house, here’s an astounding fact to consider: According to an AARP study, an alarming one person in four—25 percent—will eventually need longterm nursing care.

That’s why we’ve put in place a healthier environment designed to help you maintain your good health and live a fuller, more independent life.

Erickson HealthSM

What makes Cedar Crest a healthier place to live? A unique, comprehensive health care program called Erickson HealthSM. As the nation’s largest integrated wellness and health network for people age 62-plus, it provides a health care safety net at Cedar Crest that cannot be matched by what is available at your house.

Imagine being surrounded with a wellness environment focused on  keeping you healthy. There’s a fully staffed Medical Center right on campus with board-certified physicians ready to take care of you. (Please note, you don’t have to give up your current physician when you move to Cedar Crest.)

Our Fitness Center has state-of-the-art equipment and a certified fitness instructor to help you tune up your body and maintain your good health.

Do you have anything comparable where you live now? Our Home Support team can help you with everything you need while you rehabilitate from an injury, from walking your dog, to helping you shop for groceries. And unlike most other support services you would contract for in your house, the minimum charge is for just 15 minutes.

The Centricity Advantage

Cedar Crest has an advanced electronic medical records system (Centricity) that makes your medical information instantly available to our Medical Center doctors in emergencies. This is a huge advantage for you, because it lets them quickly view your health history and medications right on their computer monitor, even at home. That means faster, more accurate diagnosis and a great tool to help guard against drug interactions.

It even alerts them to drug recalls that may affect you. You wouldn’t have that peace of mind if you were rushed to a hospital emergency room and treated by a doctor unfamiliar with your health history.

Help You Can Count On

Now this is really important: If something unexpected happens to you—a health emergency of some kind—our 24 hour/ 7 day a week emergency response team can be at your side within minutes. They will contact the doctor on duty, who quickly accesses your medical records and coordinates your care with the emergency response team and hospital emergency room.

Quite simply, the outside resources you depend on now cannot match ours.

And remember, right on campus is Renaissance Gardens—a facility that’s available if you ever need assisted living or nursing care. The more you compare the health care that’s available at your house and what is offered at Cedar Crest, the more you’ll realize that Cedar Crest wins hands down!
