Compassionate Care in a Supportive Environment
Residents thrive while socializing with neighbors and enjoying any one of our many planned activities and outings. Our activities department loves to include families in events and many families make a point of visiting when local entertainers visit. Our annual family picnic and Father’s Day Car Show are family favorites, and you never know who is going to drop in for a visit, whether it's an acapella choir, local schoolchildren for Adopt-a-Grandparent Day, or therapy dogs, bunnies, baby chicks, or mini horses from nearby farms! We also enjoy regular visits from local clergy to nourish the spirit, and Cedar Hill Health Care Center has a part-time chaplain on staff who conducts services and visits residents.
Cedar Hill in Windsor began as a residential care home before expanding into skilled nursing and short term rehab for the elderly.
Teddy's Place
There are unique challenges for individuals who are living with Alzheimer's and related dementias, and for their loved ones. We developed Teddy's Place as a separate wing to offer specialized care in the nursing home setting with programs and activities specifically designed to engage individuals with significant memory deficiencies. Our professional, compassionate staff has the experience and training in assisting and caring for residents with these special needs. We offer a safe, area for dining and everyday living, with ample space for walking and activities both inside our bright sunroom and outside in the garden. Here, as in all parts of our community, we take the time to get to know each person's individual requirements and preferences. We utilize various therapies and activities, including light therapy, aromatherapy, and are certified in the nationally acclaimed MUSIC & MEMORY℠ Program.
Short-Stay Rehabilitation at Cedar Hill
A recent surgery, injury, or illness may prompt the need for a short-term physical rehabilitation stay. At Cedar Hill, we offer a coordinated, holistic approach to rehabilitation. Our interdisciplinary team is comprised of professionals specializing in physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy. Each therapy discipline evaluates you, the short-stay resident, and creates a treatment to help you regain your prior level of independence and function. Our therapists works together with our nursing, dining, social services and activities staff to create a comprehensive holistic treatment plan.
It is this comprehensive approach to recovery that sets a skilled short-term stay at Cedar Hill apart.
A Holistic Approach
As we age our bodies face increased physical challenges. Healing and improving your physical, as well as your emotional well-being, is our goal at Cedar Hill. Our holistic approach includes physical (PT), occupational (OT), and speech (ST) therapies as well as progressive programs designed to enhance mind, body, and spirit.
We create a homelike, healing environment that optimizes recovery. When you are ready, we also work with you to secure the support services and equipment you need to return home. Our rehab program incorporates treatments to manage pain, reduce falls, and promote healing from injuries.
Our therapy staff works collaboratively with our nursing, dietary, social services, and recreational activity staff.
Our therapy gym includes heat, ultrasound, and other forms of treatment to enhance healing and pain management. We treat many different conditions, including (but not limited to):
- CVA/Stroke Rehabilitation
- Fractures (Hip, Shoulders, and other bones)
- Total Joint Replacement
- Generalized Weakness/Deconditioning

Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is the skilled treatment of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular problems that affect a person’s ability to move and function. A physical therapist will work with you to evaluate your strength, mobility, and flexibility. Our physical therapists prepare an individualized exercise program to increase your strength and promote better physical performance.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy focuses on giving a person the “skills for the job of living” an independent and satisfying life. Our therapist will evaluate your ability to complete everyday tasks including cooking, bathing, and dressing. They work with individuals whose daily living routines have become a challenge to incorporate new strategies and equipment to help you live more comfortably at home.
Speech Therapy
Speech Therapists work with people who have trouble speaking and communicating, due to stroke or other complications. They also work with individuals who are having problems swallowing and people who have cognitive disorders, such as dementia. A speech therapist can help individuals and families develop new ways to communicate.
In addition to the treatments listed above, we also provide wellness, music therapy, yoga, and aromatherapy in our short-term rehab center.
