Carma’s Commentary:
What kind of songs do you want sung at your
funeral? Will the event be a joyful celebration of
life, or is it something you just don’t want to talk
about? When it comes to family conversations, most
of us simply don’t want to talk. — Carma Wall (CEO)

“Do you find the work or activities that you do each day rewarding? Are you more energized by quietly completing a project or would you like to have lots of accolades as you move through the day? These types of questions get raised everyday as people try to figure out how to work more effectively with each other.” – Carma Wall, CEO
The Cedars has been announced as a Golden Egg Finalist, with the winner announced on March 4th, 2013.
The Golden Egg is an annual award program from FoodService Director and The Culinary Institute of America that recognizes the Gold Standard quality in non-commercial foodservice.
The Golden Egg is an opportunity to showcase initiatives that we believe exemplify the highest level of operational excellence and have stood the test of time.
Our video presentation is below:
Have you ever decided to do something that ended
up being a life changing event? Were you trying to
get away from something or achieve something
new? We are faced with decisions every day that
may or may not affect the rest of our lives. When
you are in the moment, however, it is hard to
determine any ongoing effects.

2012 was a great year for The Cedars of McPherson, KS. Through the year we were able to make some big strides as an organization.
We came up with a top 10 list for 2012!
Over half the residents admitted to The Cedars in 2012 returned to their personal home after receiving physical rehabilitant care.
We’ve seen a great amount of support from the community and our residents. This year has been one of our best in regards to campus improvement projects and donations!

What a joy it is to walk into work and find a box of doughnuts waiting in the coffee shop! We had a great Board meeting last night. It’s so refreshing to work with a group of 12 professionals who are glad to volunteer their time and expertise to ensure that The Cedars continues providing the level of care that the older adults of McPherson deserve. Just prior to the Board meeting, a member of our executive staff recorded an interview for the local radio station as well, and we’re so thankful for the opportunity to get our message out into the community. Thanks to all of you for your continued support!
The first official day of winter is certainly feelings like it today! But tonight’s Christmas music program is sure to warm things up. Organized by one of our residents who is an accomplished pianist, it will feature the musical talents of many in our community. Carol singing, harmonica playing, piano solos, and more. Not to mention a wide variety of refreshments for those in attendance!
I’ve also heard great things about last night’s Christmas lights tour through Salina and here in town. Just one of the many ways we try to help ensure active and enjoyable retirement years for the older adults in McPherson! If you haven’t stopped in to see what all we have to offer, feel free to do so any time.
