Independent Living

Clean comfortable active senior living

I live here and I'm overall pleased - the apartments are very clean, recently repainted with new cabinets, and all units have heating/air and elevator access; some offer walk-in showers and two-bedroom options. The community is active and comfortable with exercise equipment, an outdoor patio, a large sitting room with a big TV, a full activities calendar (arts, bingo, church services, outings) plus bus transportation; I do my own meals and the laundry rooms are fine.

Summary of reviews

Cedars of Lebanon presents a mix of well-maintained physical amenities and operational concerns. Positive aspects described include clean common areas, exercise equipment, an outdoor patio, and a large lounge with a television. Unit-level features include in-unit climate control, kitchens suitable for independent meal preparation, elevator access, and some wheelchair-accessible units with walk-in showers. The community offers a full activity calendar — arts, bingo, church services, outings, and bus transportation — and management appears to be investing in unit upgrades such as repainting and new cabinets.

Feedback about care and staff is mixed. Some residents find staff acceptable, but others raised concerns about inconsistent responsiveness and variability in care quality. There are specific indications of gaps in social-services coordination and difficulty obtaining needed assistance from the social director. A serious incident involving alleged threatening behavior by a resident was described; this account suggests weaknesses in on-site security measures and incident-response protocols and should be explored further by prospective residents and families.

Dining and daily living should be considered in light of the community’s independent-living orientation: many units have kitchens and enable residents to prepare their own meals rather than relying on institutional meal service. Laundry facilities and two-bedroom unit options are available, but most units lack private outdoor balconies.

Facilities and environmental concerns are mixed. While many spaces are described as clean and undergoing maintenance upgrades, there are also reports of odor concerns in common areas and pest-control activities, which may indicate intermittent sanitation or pest-management issues. Prospective residents should ask about the facility’s pest-control schedule and odor-mitigation practices during a visit.

Management and administrative practices are an area of recurring concern. Reviewers described unexpected or contested charges (for example, fees related to waste removal) and disputed retention of a pet deposit for an emotional-support animal. These comments point to a need for clearer written policies and transparent billing and deposit handling. Parking and access to nearby shopping were also noted as limited, which may affect visitors and residents who rely on nearby amenities.

Taken together, Cedars of Lebanon offers substantive physical amenities and an active social program, but prospective residents and families should undertake focused inquiries into staffing consistency, social-services support, security and emergency procedures, pest-control and odor mitigation, and the facility’s fee and deposit policies before making a placement decision.

About Cedars of Lebanon

Cedars of Lebanon sits on five green acres at 600 S. Horner Street in Lebanon, Illinois, where people aged 55 and older, or those with disabilities, can find a quiet place to live, and the community's got studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments with big closets, spacious bathrooms, and kitchens with updated appliances, so you can cook your own meals, and plank flooring and white walls make things easy to decorate how you like; there's a laundry room right on site, plus a fitness area if you want to keep moving, a library to sit and read, and there's common rooms and a gazebo if you want some fresh air or to join in scheduled activities; you'll see plenty of greenery outside, plus a picnic area with a grill for visits or cookouts, and the grounds have security with video patrol, automatic ADA doors, and an elevator, all making it easier to get around no matter your mobility; they allow pets, dogs and cats, as long as they're under the set weight limits, and there's places for parking and an on-site ADA accessible van for scheduled trips out for shopping and errands, so you're not stuck at home, and the apartments themselves have accessibility and safety features to help you live with fewer worries.

Cedars of Lebanon offers a range of living options, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, continuing care, nursing home help, home care, respite care, and care homes, with a focus on keeping people independent while offering help if they need it, and each person can join social, educational, or entertaining activities-some right there on-site and some out in the town, so there's no pressure, and if you want to make friends, there's usually others around who'll be in the same boat as you, since many seniors want some company and everyday routines.

The staff are trained professionals who work to keep the place running and help residents through their time there, focused on being friendly and helpful if any problems come up, and when you need something fixed or you have a question, you go right to the leasing office or management team; they aim to be clear and work in a straightforward way, with rent based on income for folks who qualify, and utilities like sewer, water, trash, and heat already included, so there aren't a lot of bills to manage.

Anyone interested can come by for a tour of the grounds, meet the staff and some residents, and get a feel for daily life, since they have a welcoming atmosphere and let you see things for yourself; you can always look up more information or check current apartment availability on cedarsoflebanon.com, which also has online account tools for managing your lease, plus links to their social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, and others. The place gets good reviews from residents and families for its friendly environment and caring staff, and people say it's a good place for staying active, social, and safe, especially if you like having stores, historical sites, and antique shops nearby for something to do.
