ABOUT US
OVERVIEW

If you are seeking a special place for an elderly loved one who is no longer able to care for herself or himself, you need look no further. We welcome you to the Cedars at the JCA, a skilled-care community unlike any other in the St. Louis metropolitan area.

What sets us apart? Drive through our gates for the first answer to that question - an architectural jewel of a building on 34 beautifully landscaped acres. One step inside the door and you know you're in a warm and welcoming, premier facility. But these tangibles tell only a small part of a much bigger story.

The Cedars at the JCA is a home away from home for your very special relative, and our staff becomes an extension of your family. Everything about the Cedars is designed to help our residents live life to the fullest. If we have a motto, it is surely "To Life!"

In three independent buildings, connected by hallways, residents live in small "neighborhoods," Hillside, Meadowview, and Arborview. Each neighborhood has a great room with a fireplace and comfortable chairs and couches; a friendly, full-service restaurant-style dining room; and interior "streets" leading to intimate living spaces. Residents can socialize with their neighbors, visit with family, or enjoy some solitude in their own private space.

There is so much more to tell. Here are the services you would expect from such a premier facility:

• Top-quality medical care with on-site physician services in specialties ranging from audiology to psychology
• A team approach to skilled care, which includes physicians, physicians' assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, social workers, and medical care managers
• Therapy services, including physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory
• A wellness center where residents can participate in personalized fitness programs
• A gift shop and full-service beauty salon
• Fine dining restaurant-style for delicious gourmet kosher and non-kosher meals
