Cedar Commons
A continuing-care community in the Oakland hills for planning decades ahead, not months.
About Cedar Commons
Cedar Commons is a continuing-care retirement community: residents typically move in while independent and stay through higher levels of care under one contract. That model asks for a larger entry commitment up front, which only pays off if you intend to stay for years. For a short-term or crisis placement it is the wrong tool.
