Excellent

I was very pleased with the care that my husband received while at the Cedars of Austin. The staff was very kind and met all his needs. Every day he had an activity that he would enjoy, from weekly bus trips, bingo, art projects, musical entertainment, and ice cream socials and gathering times with other residents. The facility is very nice and has a beautiful courtyard, allowing the residence to enjoy the outdoors. The Cedars also offered church services for the residence, inviting ministers to come and conduct s…

Review for Cedars of Austin

The Cedars is in a location close to downtown and clinics. The apartment size and selection was very good. Facility has alot of activities for the residents to enjoy. My parents made their own decision to move in there.

Friendly Community

Friendly staff, receptive to my concerns and feedback. The assisted living yes, the memory care side is very small and depressing . Staff are helpful and nice, but not all experienced with my dad's needs with colostomy and prosthetic leg.

LOVE IT

I am so glad I choose this one after searching in Austin and the WoodburyMaplewwod, MN area. What a great community! This place is close to the downtown area as well as the public library, a new out-of-this-world YMCA, and the Mower County senior center. The Cedars offers transportation to such areas if you don't have a car. There is heated underground parking if you do have a car. There are many activities to choose from at Cedars itself. Austin, also, has an inexpensive great bus service. Rochester and Albert Lea…

My Brother and I recently toured the Cedars memory care. The tour took us through the entire community area and showed us things we could do when we visit. There was several community room areas, a library, fitness room, hair salon that needed some updating, the dining room was big with a lot of character, I love the thought of being able to park in a heated garage. The memory care itself was cozy and we only seen one apartment open, but I like she can have her own private bathroom and not share one. Our experience…

Critical

It hasn't been that good.

It hasn't been that good. I wanted to move her out the same day we moved her in. They didn't seem to care about much. It doesn't seem like they have a lot of activities there at all, either, they all just kind of sit around. When we went to the tour, they didn't show us a whole lot, just the room. It looks fine, it's clean. I feel like with the memory care they bit off more than they can chew. They seem to be short staffed, and there is one aide there, that seems to be particularly unfriendly.
