New Retirement Facility

Cedarview Gracious Retirement Living has opened in Woodstock and offers a cruise ship feel

A new retirement facility has opened in the City with space for more than 150 residents. 
 
Cedarview Gracious Retirement Living opened a few weeks ago and looks to bring a cruise ship feel to the interior. 
 
Manager Anita Nichol says since this is the resident's home, they want to make the experience as much about family as possible. 
 
"Every resident in our building has an individual apartment. They are responsible for their own private care. They can have caregivers come in. We supply them three meals a day as well as activities, housekeeping, bus service, maintenance, all your heat and hydro is paid for so we are an all inclusive facility."
 
The brand new facility offers a movie theatre, library, gym, games room, laundry and many other free services on site. 
 
Manager Bill Nichol says rooms range from $2200 to $4300 per month all inclusive.
 
"We've been open 4 weeks and we have 45 percent occupancy already. We have a number of people who have signed up to move in later on the next two or three months. I would say if we were to move everybody in we're at 60 percent occupancy so still have a few one bedrooms, studios and a couple two bedrooms left."
 
Bill says they have a chef onsite that cooks every meal from scratch. 
 
"We feature our own homemade bread and rolls everyday. In the evening we have home made soup every evening for supper that's made here in the kitchen. All of our pastries and desserts are all made in the kitchen. There's nothing that's brought in that's in a bag, put in boiling water. We peel or own potatoes, we peel our own carrots and chop our own vegetables." He says they have had diabetics at their facilities who saw an improvement in their health due to eating three meals a day prepared by their chefs. 
 
All of the managers at the facility also live on site to ensure residents are getting answers quickly to any problem that may arise. 
 
The facility will be hosting their grand opening at their Finkle Street location on February 23 and expect more than 13 hundred people to attend.
