“Cedars is a hidden gem in this world. Since my mother has placed Jimmy into this wonderful community, she feels a sense of security for her son for the rest of his life. The Cedars family can be counted as the best of the best when it comes to their compassion for their mission. You are like a fine wine getting even better with age!”
— John Powers
“I like going for walks, walking to see the horses, watching football and wrestling, and listening to music on my radio. As a family, we create our own music by drumming.”
— Jim
