Cedar Crossing Retirement Community, 395 Cedar Street, Simcoe, Ontario
Here is a sampling of slides of this bright, modern and comfortable retirement residence. When you visit Cedar Crossing, you will discover that the interior views match the photographs. You feel almost compelled to sit down in one of the comfortable chairs in front of the fireplace and read a favourite book. Need a break from reading, head over to the Linden Cocktail Bar.
The Covid-19 crisis has presented challenges to the the staff at Cedar Crossing. There are federal, provincial and Haldimand-Norfolk health and safety regulations to follow as well as the policies of "head office". Staff is striving to create a community and to increased social contact to enhance living. Government regulations has forced everyone to isolate and/or minimize social interaction.
Many in the Rotary Club of Simcoe qualify or are on the brink of qualifying for living in this retirement community. Cody Lyons, you are going to fit right in with us.
