30 Years of Cedar Hill – Day 6 – Dream Becomes Reality – The Village

Within six months, The Village was running at full capacity, providing momentum and financial stability for the women and also representing the actualization of their original dream—to provide a continuum of care that supports seniors through the health and life transitions of the elder years. By fully realizing the continuing care model, Cedar Hill was able to minimize the stress and health issues caused by change. Rather than moving from one facility to another, their residents could age in place, with the support of a stable community and staff. Cedar Hill was also able to promote more joyful living by providing all of the services and supports residents needed on one campus. It was truly a time of celebration for the two women as they experienced the positive effects of their achievements every day.

One of several old structures removed for the Village construction was the old barn and silo, left. Note the large Cedar that stood near the barnyard is the same tree being removed in 2012.
