Cedar Crest Celebrates 20 Years of Excellence in Senior Living

Cedar Crest, an Erickson Senior Living community in Pompton Plains, New Jersey, celebrated its 20 years of excellence in senior living with a series of anniversary events throughout September.

The celebration started on September 1, with more than 400 residents, staff, and family members, along with bagpipe players, participating in the kickoff parade throughout campus. The fun continued throughout the month with a variety of events, including a Grandparents Day carnival and antique car show, resident art show, poetry readings, Alpaca Farm, Fall Fling Harvest Hop, commemorative ceremony, game shows, history display, and more.

The highlight of the month was the nautical-themed 20th Anniversary Gala held on September 30 at Woodland Commons' "Cruise Ship." Residents and staff enjoyed each other's company and danced the night away at the festive event. The party included a Pirates' Cove Bar, casino, Venetian Table, delicious food and cocktails, music, and photos by the Cruise Ship's photographer.

"What an amazing night for our residents, staff, family, and friends to come together to celebrate our special community," said Executive Director Todd DeLaney. "Thank you so much to our resident and employee committee members who took care of every detail to make our Anniversary Gala a night to remember as well as putting together a spectacular month-long series of events."

"We are so proud of this community that we've built together over the past twenty years," said DeLaney. "We aspire to be the best place for residents to live and employees to work. In the next decade and beyond, we look forward to continued success in providing residents with a vibrant senior living lifestyle where they can live life to the fullest."
